We see autonomous vehicles in every vision of the future in science fiction series, movies, games and books. In fact, these images slowly began to take place. in the near future to more self-driving cars the obvious we will have.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina believe that because this phenomenon is happening for good and will become more common in the future, the traffic lights we have should be adjusted accordingly. has adjusted They made a proposal.

In the future, traffic lights should have 4 colors, not 3

Researchers will signal to drivers that autonomous vehicles are intelligently managing oncoming traffic flows they recommend an extra white traffic light. The idea behind the proposal is to reduce both congestion levels and overall fuel consumption.

Autonomous cars and trucks no longer have to ‘look’ at the white traffic light as we humans do, because with they will communicate wirelessly. However, it will also serve as a signal to human drivers and passengers to follow self-driving vehicles passing through the intersection.

The researchers’ proposal will work as follows: autonomous vehicles can communicate with each other and within a certain distance. will be connected to traffic lights at intersections. This allows the traffic flow to be coordinated more efficiently and smarter.

For example, this white traffic light, to which self-driving vehicles are connected, gives priority to converging roads with more vehicles and provides information about optimal speeds. will make recommendations.

Each human driver on the track is instructed to follow the vehicle ahead by means of a white light: Stop when it stops, continue when it continues will be given. Number of autonomous vehicles at an intersection when it falls below a certain thresholdtraffic lights will return to normal red, yellow and green.

Do you think this system could provide coordination between fully autonomous vehicles and those driven by human drivers? What do you think? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
