Study Shows Autonomous Vehicles Can Alleviate Traffic At Intersections

[Admin]

No one likes to get stuck in traffic. Incidences of gridlocks are usually worse at intersections. Interestingly, transportation engineers at North Carolina State University recently revealed that adding a fourth “white light” to traffic signs will equip Autonomous Vehicles (AV) with the ability to control traffic flow as well as guide human drivers on who … (read full article...)

The idea of using additional "white light" on traffic signs to aid autonomous vehicles (AVs) in controlling traffic flow is an interesting one. AVs rely on a variety of sensors and algorithms to navigate roads, recognize and respond to traffic signals, and make decisions based on real-time data. By adding an additional "white light" to traffic signs, AVs may be able to more accurately detect and interpret the sign's meaning, reducing the risk of misinterpretation or error.
