Abstract: L'invention concerne un feu de circulation intelligent à diode émettrice de lumière (LED) combinant les fonctions de signalisation de circulation, de clignotant synchronisé actif, d'éclairage intermittent synchronisé et de temporisateur inverse dans un seul dispositif sans être connecté à un dispositif de commande. Toutefois lorsque cela est nécessaire, ledit feu peut être connecté à un dispositif de commande. L'utilisation des fonctions est programmée sur une unité de microprocesseur, et lesdites sont sélectionnées à l'aide d'un commutateur multi-étage placé sur ledit dispositif. De ce fait, ce dispositif est programmé en fonction de l'utilisation. Le dispositif tire la puissance nécessaire de réseaux électriques en courant 220 VAC, 50 Hz mais peut également fonctionner en courant 110 VAC, 60 Hz. Il peut, en outre, fonctionner en triphasé avec un intervalle de synchronisation très court invisible à l'oeil humain. L'invention est mise en oeuvre par connexion d'un dispositif de commande d'intersection par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne d'alimentation et d'une ligne de données. Le dispositif reçoit l'alimentation principale de la ligne d'alimentation. Le réglage de la puissance d'éclairage et la sélection de fonction s'effectuent par l'intermédiaire de la ligne de données. Les feux des signaux de circulation développés dans l'invention peuvent être connectés en parallèle à une ligne d'alimentation et à une ligne de données.
