- kelmaster1, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1This is huge. If this system was implemented into a city traffic light network or system, it could relieve traffic congestion significantly. If you look at models with regular drivers, everyone drives erratically. Most city traffic systems are timed, and they're designed so people can flow through them at a constant speed. But people drive stupid and they speed up to 10mph over the speed limit then slow down because they're hitting the red and then the green comes on in 2 seconds and they repeat the cycle, this all causes the accordion effect and results in traffic jams.

- diggface5000, on 10/19/2008, -5/+7Well crap. Where I'm from, there are 3 different companies that do traffic lights but they are all mixed together. The companies won't work with each other to synchronize the lights resulting in the dreaded red light trap of death (you know.. when you get stuck between 2 really close ones.) This is awesome because it wouldn't matter who made the light.
- KSUdesigner, on 10/19/2008, -1/+9So if there's two lights really close together it's just going to tell you to go like 2 mph so the next one is green by the time you get there. How is that awesome?
- tmyprod, on 10/19/2008, -9/+15wouldn't the crosswalks w/ timers work too? I know I use them to pace my car.
- masfenix, on 10/19/2008, -2/+11Why is this man getting dugg down. There are crosswalks with a timer on it. It displays the time between a user can start walking, and end walking.
When your driving this display is very clear. It's happened to me so many times, where I see I only have 5 seconds before the traffic light turns yellow so I must pace my self.
The only disadvantage is that if it does hit Yellow and i've sped up, I risk of getting tboned by a car turning left. - werries, on 10/19/2008, -1/+5Yeah me too. Speed up when the damn walking light starts blinking. :)
- DesertTripper, on 10/19/2008, -1/+4This is the most realistic solution. (The crosswalk timers around SoCal actually display the number of seconds remaining until the yellow light in most cases.) Bottom line: Most municipalities are cheap and won't put in smart signals unless forced to. However, if each light was fitted with a timer, or some other sort of light that comes on/goes off 10-15 seconds before the yellow, it would give drivers a better cue to know if the light can be "made" or not, and wouldn't require any special equipment in the car. It's that moment of indecision when the light turns yellow that probably causes 99+% of red-light running. No sane driver is just going to blow a light that's already red.
I look forward to something higher-tech like the device in the article, but the crosswalk timers are a dream come true. It's too bad that they are not mandated everywhere by law.

Also, will the sensors know the speed limit or tell you to go above it to beat the light, or will they be maxed at the limit meaning you could go a few km/h faster to beat it but not tell you that information because its "illegal" to speed.- sullyz0r, on 10/19/2008, -3/+1Or, y'know, the explicit usage of the word "she"
- TBBucs, on 10/19/2008, -0/+4My guess is that it would give you the actual value, but have explicit warnings telling you that you must obey all traffic laws regardless of what it says. I'm thinking that for two reasons:
1.) It would have to store the speed limit for every area, which I doubt is part of its function.
2.) If it did max out at the speed limit, and some guy can't make the light because he went the speed that it told him to, he'd think that the thing didn't work (even though it did but was maxed out). Not good for the product. - Fozefy, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Well, it wouldn't need to know the speed limit, as it is communicating with the traffic lights anyways, i'm sure they could send out the speed limit as well. And obviously it wouldn't just max out at the speed limit. My thought would be just giving the slower speed as to ride through just as the light is hitting green after that first red they could have beat.
Though probably the best thing would be letting the user just customize it as to get rid of any ability to sue the maker for speeding tickets, etc.

- cdawzrd, on 10/19/2008, -0/+11Not only are those somewhat complicated to build (the codes used in the IR burst vary) but the traffic cameras see IR light as a bright spotlight, so your car will be handily pointed out by the cops in court later :-)

- CookieOfFortune, on 10/19/2008, -7/+0Too bad it requires "intelligent" traffic lights to communicate the information to your car.

- cdawzrd, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2I doubt there's some big database of light timings for every light, especially considering how they tend to change the timings occasionally to optimize for certain events/patterns.
- TMTurtle, on 10/19/2008, -4/+37People, it's not changing the lights for you. Thing isn't magic. It just estimates how slow you need to go to reach the light by the time it turns green.

- acceleration, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2I'm fairly sure your idea is the impractical one.
While it would be way better on the driver, there's too much of a cost involved and it would take up heaps more space than a simple four-way intersection. Imagine "retrofitting" these viaducts into a place like New York City.

- shaelen, on 10/19/2008, -0/+7Ambulances have a device that lets them know when the light is going to be green?

- shaelen, on 10/19/2008, -0/+7Ambulances have a device that lets them know when the light is going to be green?
- acceleration, on 10/19/2008, -6/+4So instead of having to always wait at a red traffic light, the device just tells you a slower speed to drive at?
Of course it will "work", in the sense that you won't get any red lights, but you're not going to get to point B any quicker. The only advantages would be that it's easier on the car and seems less frustrating not having to stop all the time.
Unless the thing tells you to drive above the speed limit, which I don't think is legal.- shaelen, on 10/19/2008, -0/+4It's better on your brakes, and you'll save gas in the long run by not having to accelerate after every red light. And while I'm on the subject, WHY do people accelerate hard on an uphill ramp then even out their speed when it levels? Do they not realize it takes so much more gas to accelerate up hill than just going up at a slower pace?
- shaelen, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2And I only now noticed that your nickname is "acceleration."
- BossKey, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2It would basically help me do what I already do which is to try to time my deceleration so that I don't have to come to a full stop before the light turns green. The way I do it is manage my braking if I can see the cross street light turn from green to yellow. I'm not as obsessive as the hypermilers, I actually do brake, but it always helps to not actually have to start from zero motion.
- DamnMan, on 10/19/2008, -0/+3You might get there quicker. As the time it takes to decelerate and accelerate need to be taken into account when you stop at lights. If you average out your speed going 50, slowing, stopping, reacting, accelerating, reaching 50 again, slowing, stopping etc. 50 is no longer 50, it may be closer to 35. Whereas an average of 40 may be slow enough to avoid the redlights all together. Its an averages game.
- bjs3171, on 10/19/2008, -0/+4if you need to brake less, that would absolutely reduce your travel time. you may be going at a slower speed, but it's a steady speed, and you don't have to wait the time that it takes for cars to start actually moving after the light truns green. and more importantly, it saves a decent amount of gas.
- MrPlow09, on 10/19/2008, -6/+1best idea ever...screw penicillin
- desertDenizen, on 10/19/2008, -1/+3It's not very useful without the wheel.
- Lunares, on 10/19/2008, -3/+3People don't get what it does. What it does is this, say you are approaching a red light. At a certain distance (x) the car will pick up the signal from the light for when the light will be turning green. That is a time t. It then does distance x / time t = speed to go so that way you don't stop at the light since accelerating is what uses up gas (especially accelerating from a dead stop).
- ZincSaucier, on 10/19/2008, -0/+3dude if someone didnt understand that article, they arent going to benefit from that overcomplicated mess. try this: it tells you to go slower so you wont reach the light till its green.
- Pareidoliatic, on 10/19/2008, -4/+6From the article .... "But it admits the technology will not benefit the driver if the roads are particularly clogged."
In other words, it won't work well in cities, when there's traffic around. Think about it, it's just a time and distance calculator , but can't allow for variables like ... oh ... other motorists.- bjs3171, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2but if this became widely used within the city, it could possibly reduce the congestion.

- shufan, on 10/19/2008, -1/+4It's great how everyone doesn't understand the article, or chooses not to read it. I like the idea, but I can see problems arising when not enough people have the device. For example, if someone ahead of you is going slower than the speed that the device is telling you is necessary to reach the light as it turns green, then you wouldn't be able to continue at that speed, unless you didn't mind running bashing into the slower car in front of you. Once this feature becomes standard, I could see it being very useful for improving fuel efficiency.
- TheInfinityZero, on 10/19/2008, -4/+2I guess my math is no good, but wouldn't this machine often, in the end, not help too much. Either you could drive fast (like usual) and end up waiting a bit at a red light, or you could drive a bit slower (at the speed the machine tells you to) and not wait - thus, you're stuck either losing time waiting or losing time by driving slow. Or would it only tell you to speed up in the cases where you drive extra fast in order to reach a green light on time?
(serious question - I'm all confused)- draculthemad, on 10/19/2008, -0/+6its not so much of a time-saver as it is a fuel/emission saver.
Accelerating from a stop is one of the least effecient power bands for a gas-engine. As a result, getting up to speed after stops can use up the majority of the fuel in a commute by a significant margin, even if its a fraction of the total distance involved.
Also the same can be said for wear on the entire power train.
This is something that any 'good' driver tries to do as much as possible by eyeball already.
This is a really spiffy gadget if it works as intended, and would take the guesswork out of it. - Tanktunker, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1It saves gas, you don't need to idle and then suddenly accelerate.
- draculthemad, on 10/19/2008, -0/+6its not so much of a time-saver as it is a fuel/emission saver.
- Definition, on 10/19/2008, -2/+2It depends on what situation you're in. For example, traffic at Rush Hour. Sometimes you can't drive at 24mph, if traffic flows at 20.
- benroy, on 10/19/2008, -2/+4OR city planners and traffic engineers could make the signals more efficient.
Like oh, I don't know...eliminating the wait for a red light when THERE'S NO CROSS TRAFFIC!!
Just a suggestion.- psykiv, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2I swear, I think they program some of those lights like that on purpose so that they can position a cop in the corner so that all he has to do is wait for some random idiot to say "***** it, this light is taking forever" and run it, only to give him a ticket.

- sassafras1232, on 10/19/2008, -1/+2So really this only helps when you're the first person at the light, and the light is short enough that stalling for 300 yards is going to make a difference. I honestly can't remember the last time that happened to me. If I'm the first person I am probably going to be waiting at the light for at least 30 seconds, and I'm not going to drive 2mph just so that I can roll the green switch. Besides, the next guy will just cut in front of me, and then I'll have to wait for him to accelerate.
Also, commenting "rtfa" is just as annoying as making a comment that clearly shows you didn't read the article. Just let the bury system do its magic.- bjs3171, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1i think the point is that it knows exactly how long the light will last. it would know if you were going to approach it when it were about to change, or not, and would then recommend a speed. theoretically, it seems like you shouldn't even have to think about the lights. sounds like a brilliant idea to me. how it would be made standard is another question.
- aceallways, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1It is true about people cutting in front and making you stop, it drives me insane.
- kelmaster1, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1If everyone drove the same speed there would be no traffic jams. Timed systems are already designed for this.

- GiggleStick, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2You know those little yellow balls on your antenna so you can find your car in a parking lot? Everyone should have those.
- ZincSaucier, on 10/19/2008, -1/+1trust a machine's advice and drive toward a busy intersection! good idea! my gps, phone, and police radar detector never mess up so i trust this thing!
- gabsterella, on 10/19/2008, -2/+1Reducing journey time? How does that add up? You still go through the same number of traffic lights and it's not like the gadget makes the lights turn green..... (;-|
- bjs3171, on 10/19/2008, -1/+1theoretically this is a great idea. but this would have to be a standard feature in all new cars if this were to work in any city. and would the traffic lights need to be refitted, as well?
- Mistlefoot, on 10/19/2008, -3/+3This will fail.
1) Many lights are activated by magnets and don't change until a car actually stops there - the lights being set always green for the busiest road.
2) You slow down to 24mph (or whatever the computer advises) with traffic around while the car in front of you does 40mph and brakes and a large gap will be left between that car and you - and you can be assured that someone from the other lane will fill that gap. You will end up stopping, but stopping behind more cars then you would have without it.- kelmaster1, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1No.
Magnetic indicator light systems are used during the time of day or when the traffic flow is minimal and sporadic. While most traffic light intersections do have these, during periods of high flow they are timed, because it's impractical to use magnetic detection when there is a constant flow of vehicles.
But yes, people drive stupid. Most cities are designed so you can flow through a bunch of greens if you and everyone else are going the uniform design speed... but that never happens. If this was implemented into every car it would work.

- Flashypoo, on 10/19/2008, -1/+3No reason to post this here. Most diggers live in their mom's basement and don't drive, much less see the real world.
- Mike32, on 10/19/2008, -4/+1Just use a Dirty Mirt. Google it, but its a felony, though very simple to make.
Same thing police cars/firetrucks use to make lights green. Notice the black ir receiver mounted on street lights - Hurricane, on 10/19/2008, -8/+1This is simply an unauthorized MIRT system, it is against Federal Law in the USA to use a MIRT unless you are in an authorized emergency vehicle.
An illegal MIRT can be built for less than $50 worth of components and hidden on most vehicles.- Tobey, on 10/19/2008, -1/+3Really?? That's what you think it is, guy who just read the title? You think Audi would a put a device in their cars that allows everyone to change the light to green, creating accidents at every intersection?
On behalf of the digg community, I'm asking you to leave the internet. Thanks.- Hurricane, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1On behalf of the digg community, I am asking you to bite my ass. Thanks.
(I was hafl asleep when I posted about the MIRT.)
