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 10):
A system, comprising:\n at least one processor; and at least one memory unit operatively connected to the processor, the at least one memory unit having stored thereon, at least one computer program comprising computer code causing the at least one processor to perform the following:\n learn, over a period of time, traffic priorities near or at one or more intersections based on alterations to operation of at least one of one or more traffic signals at the one or more intersections, the learning of the traffic priorities and the altering of the operation of the at least one of the one or more traffic signals being based on received information regarding at least one of road conditions near or at the one or more intersections and operating characteristics of at least a first vehicle proximate to the one or more intersections; \n pre-set the operation of the at least one of the one or more traffic signals based on the learned traffic priorities; and \n alter the pre-set operation of the at least one of the one or more traffic signals based on a current determination of the at least one of the road conditions near or at the one or more intersections and the operating characteristics of the at least first vehicle proximate to the one or more intersections.
