Abstract:
1. A method of controlling vehicular traffic on a one-way roadway, the method comprising: detecting, by a hardware sensor, vehicular traffic on a roadway; determining, by a hardware traffic control device, whether the vehicular traffic on the roadway has been moving exclusively in a first direction during a preceding period of time; in response to determining that the vehicular traffic has been moving exclusively in the first direction during the preceding period of time, identifying, by the hardware traffic control device, the roadway as a one-way roadway in which current vehicular traffic is authorized to travel only in the first direction; detecting, by the hardware sensor, an errant vehicle that is traveling in a second direction on the one-way roadway, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction; and in response to determining that the errant vehicle is traveling in the second direction on the one-way roadway, transmitting a warning signal to other vehicles on the one-way roadway, wherein the other vehicles exclude the errant vehicle.
