SHARE--Integration of Environmental Interest and Road-User Demands in Signal-Control Optimization
Traffic lights affect the quality of traffic flow especially in urban regions. The project SHARE pursues three objects. Firstly, emissions caused by individual and public traffic will become an integral part of signal-control optimization at intersections. The second objective is a quantitative survey of pedestrians waiting at traffic lights; they will be considered in signal control in order to minimize their waiting times as well. Thirdly, driver assistance systems using V2I communication will be implemented in public transport, which again helps to reduce emissions. This paper presents the concept of the project and points out today’s waste of potentials in traffic flow and energy efficiency.
