Traffic jam management method for dispersing and reducing the undesirable effects of traffic jams uses a sensor-signal communications device or a manual control

摘要

Stop-go traffic signals and sensors monitor traffic movements at regular distances along a jammed stretch. Traffic flow analysis identifies the head of the jam. The stretch of the jam is split into even sections controlled by traffic signals. Starting with the head of the jam in the direction of travel, the traffic signals for the individual sections are consecutively set at 'red'.
