A program is underway in Texas in which trucks coordinate with smart traffic signals to keep freight rolling rather than stopping for red lights.

“They are incredibly important to addressing traffic flow.” Smart traffic signals, also known as intelligent traffic lights, have sensors that detect volume and velocity of approaching traffic.

The signals will retime themselves about every three to five minutes, to perform at the optimal level. The usual way to retime traffic lights is to collect and analyze traffic count data.

$2M grant to fund traffic signal network in metro cities The city of Moorhead was awarded a $2 million federal grant to create a coordinated SMART traffic signal system with Fargo and West Fargo.

Last week, Mobile unveiled its new "Smart City" traffic program on Government Street, synchronizing and monitoring 13 traffic lights so they can be adjusted based on traffic flow.

System designers hope that this anonymous statistical data could soon help urban planners better coordinate traffic light systems, or even eventually redesign entire smart light schedules.

A surprising amount of technology might be making that red light hold you up. Here's how traffic lights detect (or don't detect) your vehicle.
