Problems solved by technology

These small movement delays can cause fewer cars to move through the intersection, which can worsen traffic congestion
The driver may be distracted and not notice the traffic light change, or (for example, due to a large vehicle becoming an obstacle) the driver may not even be able to see the traffic light and will have to wait until the driver sees the traffic moving to make sure the traffic light has changed so far

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for traffic light status warning. A system includes a processor configured to wirelessly receive a traffic light status notification when a vehicle approaches a traffic light. The processor is further configured to: determine an appropriate vehicle action based at least on the traffic light state, the vehicle speed, and the vehicle's proximity to the traffic light; and recommend the appropriate vehicle action to a driver of the vehicle.

Description

Technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiment generally relates to a method and apparatus for traffic light status warning. Background technique [0002] Improve traffic flow is the expectation target of urban planners. Many of the intersections of the STOP-Light have been replaced by the cyclic intersection, which makes traffic flow based on its establishment. However, a large number of traffic may be crowded for intersections that still have traffic lights. In addition, when the traffic lights become green, not all drivers will move at the same time. These small moving delays may result in less automobile movement through intersections, thereby aggravating traffic blocked. The driver may be distracted and will not pay attention to the change of the traffic light, or (for example, due to large vehicles into an obstacle) the driver may not see the traffic light, and will have to wait until the driver sees traffic movement To determine the traffic lights have changed. Invent...
