Why Smart Cities Are Installing Traffic Light Priority Devices?

1. Why Smart Cities Are Installing Traffic Light Priority Devices? With more and more cities getting connected, there is an increasing need for using traffic control technologies that help in creating communication standards and a patchwork of components with different degrees of interoperability. A lot of studies have been connected to figure out ways and means to coordinate these technologies. At the same time, the demand for an immediate solution has grown among the residents. A solution that helps in the efficient and effective movement of transit vehicles quickly and safely. This demand is now being fulfilled by the ​traffic light priority device that ensures smooth movement of vehicles, including emergency vehicles. While communities are choosing a ​preemption detector​, it is essential to consider both short-and-long-term technologies that are sure to deliver the best performance and value. When selecting these systems, it is imperative to consider certain factors when deploying traffic light priority devices. The core of the system has intersection equipment, onboard vehicle systems, control system hardware, and software and communication networks. There are both centralized and distributed preemption systems in use. In distributed systems, there is direct communication between the vehicle and the intersection. In this

In the centralized systems, there is direct communication between the vehicle and a centralized traffic management center. There is no need for preemption hardware in this system. With a robust communication network that can be an amalgam of Wi-Fi, cellular, Fiber Optic Networking or Ethernet, there can be perfect coordination between the vehicles and the communication center.
