Disclosed herein is a smart vibration absorber for traffic signal supports. In exemplary embodiments, the vibration absorber utilizes the mass of the signal head as a damped vibration absorber. The system may also include a spring and damper in mechanical communication with the signal head. The spring provides resistance to the compression force of the signal head while the damper provides a damping force removing energy from the system. Also disclosed herein is a controllable damper which may be connected to a computing device for varying the damping of the system. The controllable damper may be a magneto-rheological fluid damper. The smart vibration absorber may be constructed as a retrofit for installation on current traffic signals supports.
