National Highway Actuated Signal Control System

Adjusts green time at national highway intersections in real time based on vehicle detection.

Cuts unnecessary waiting during low-traffic periods.

Solution

Left-turn and pedestrian actuation for smoother traffic flow

Skips unnecessary signal phases or runs shorter cycle lengths to improve main-road flow and reduce signal violations and traffic accidents. A video-detection traffic signal system that can also detect pedestrians.

  • Actuated signals matched to left-turn volumes improve through-traffic flow on the main road
  • Video-based pedestrian recognition automatically requests and extends pedestrian signals
  • Camera-based video detection

    • Detects vehicles waiting to merge onto the main road
    • Detects vehicle count, vehicle type and direction of travel
    • Measures and analyzes traffic volumes
  • Actuated signal controller

    • Uses the 2010-standard traffic signal controller
    • Controls signals based on input from the vehicle video detector (edge device)
    • Real-time integration with the video detector
  • Pedestrian push button

    • Operates together with the video detector
    • Pedestrians request a walk signal by button while waiting
    • Allows pedestrians to request a signal directly in emergencies
  • Pedestrian video detection

    • Automatic pedestrian detection using intelligent video analytics
    • Accurately detects a wide range of objects, including children, wheelchairs and strollers
  • Detection zone marking

    • Marked video detection zones guide vehicles to stop at the stop line
    • Minimizes detection errors caused by improper stopping
  • VMS guidance messages

    • Displays pedestrian signal guidance and actuated signal status
    • Displays messages that alert drivers to approaching pedestrians

Strengths

Key system features

  • Pedestrian signal extension

    • Recognizes pedestrians through camera video analysis and automatically extends the pedestrian signal
    • The camera recognizes pedestrians and triggers the walk signal without anyone pressing a button
  • Left-turn actuated signal

    • Skips or minimizes unnecessary signal phases at locations with low left-turn volumes to improve main-road through traffic
    • Check detector data and status in the system, and set the direction and phases of actuated signals
  • Pedestrian detector VMS display

    • LED display driven by pedestrian detector signals
    • Classifies and detects pedestrians with a high detection rate (pedestrians, PM riders, general pedestrians, etc.)
    • Highly visible display delivers guidance messages late at night and after dark
  • Pedestrian voice guidance

    • Broadcasts safety voice guidance to pedestrians in hazardous zones and those waiting to cross
    • Complies with the Korean National Police Agency standard guidelines for pedestrian signal audio guidance devices
    • Supports TTS and audio files for extensibility
