How to set up LED traffic signal lights during peak hours

LED traffic signal lights are an indispensable part of urban traffic management, and whether they are set up reasonably is directly related to the smooth flow of traffic. During peak hours, the traffic flow is large and the vehicles are dense. Therefore, LED traffic signal lights should be set up reasonably according to the actual situation at this time to guide and ensure traffic to a great extent.

The alternating interval of LED traffic signal lights does change with the volume of traffic, which is one of the core functions of modern traffic signal control systems (such as adaptive signal control). As a professional signal light factory, Qixiang LED traffic signal lights are equipped with advanced modern traffic signal control systems. It can accurately realize multi-mode signal timing optimization, real-time road condition monitoring and dynamic regulation, effectively improve the traffic efficiency of intersections, and alleviate traffic congestion.

Why are the durations of LED traffic signal lights different in each direction at each intersection?

The service objects of LED traffic signal lights include motor vehicle drivers, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians. LED traffic signal lights serve the safe travel of all people. In fact, the signal timing of the intersection is like a cake, and the traffic participants in each direction are like people who want to share the cake. If one person eats more, then the other person has to eat less. For an intersection, first of all, we must ensure that all traffic participants can obtain the right of way, that is, they can be allocated a certain amount of time to pass. On this basis, we also have to make trade-offs, such as ensuring that those with large traffic flow and long queues get more time to pass.

How should LED traffic signal lights be set during peak hours?

1. Adjust the time interval according to traffic flow

The LED traffic signal lights during peak hours are mainly to solve the traffic congestion problem caused by large traffic flow. During peak hours, the traffic flow is large and the driving speed is slow. Therefore, the time interval of the signal lights should be appropriately extended to provide more driving time for vehicles and make it easier for vehicles to pass through congested sections. During non-peak hours, the time interval of the signal lights can be appropriately shortened to achieve traffic control.

2. Optimize the allocation of vehicle traffic flow according to traffic flow

During peak hours, LED traffic signal lights should reasonably optimize the allocation of vehicle traffic flow according to the actual traffic flow, and keep the traffic flow in each direction close to balance. In terms of traffic flow distribution, it can be achieved by adjusting the length of time for vehicles in different directions to pass, increasing or reducing the number of vehicles dispatched in each direction, etc.

3. Set the LED traffic signal lights according to the speed of the road section

During the peak traffic section, the speed of the car is generally slow. Therefore, the LED traffic signal lights should be set at a suitable distance to ensure that the traffic flow will not stagnate for a long time, thus affecting the road traffic operation of the entire city.
