A45 GLOSA, which received the project of the year award from Intelligent Transport Systems UK, was installed and tested in Birmingham, UK, on the A45<\/a> Coventry road; the system alerts drivers to imminent light changes, enabling them to adjust their speed and avoid having to brake sharply between intersections.<\/strong> During the pilot test, drivers’ travel time was reduced by 7%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The test consisted of letting the technology monitor traffic lights on ten intersections and send details to a passenger’s smartphone. The system predicted light changes, enabling drivers to adopt the optimal speed when approaching the intersection.<\/p>\n

The idea is to expand the system quickly and cheaply to other routes, since the application is readily adaptable to car onboard<\/strong> computers and satnav devices<\/strong> in the future. The system is innovative as it only uses existing infrastructure currently in use by a road authority, therefore it can be easily extended and adopted by other road authorities. The system will be fine-tuned in an extended trial covering a wider range of junction arrangements and control technologies in 2019.<\/p>\n

Paul Rose, ITS Technical Director for Amey Consulting on this project, said: “This is a very important project for Amey Consulting, not only because it represents a real opportunity to explore the benefits of emerging use cases for connected vehicles, but also because it showcases our capacity for innovation and systems integration.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
