Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for altering the default operation of traffic signals, e.g., static cycling of lights, based on one or more road conditions and/or operating characteristics of vehicles at or near an intersection at which the traffic signals are located. The timing of light changes in traffic signals can be altered based upon a desire to optimize fuel efficiency, prioritize passage of vehicles through the intersection, and/or exhibit favoritism to vehicles that are driven efficiently and/or by drivers contributing to a pay-to-pass system. Traffic signal controllers controlling traffic signals may, over time, learn traffic patterns based on gathered information regarding the operating characteristics of vehicles and/or road conditions.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the feasibility of altering the default operation of the at least one of the one or more traffic signals comprises determining whether the at least one of the one or more traffic signals is due for a light change while the at least first vehicle is approaching at least one of the one or more intersections.
