GLOSA in Manchester - Live Traffic Light IVS Integration

A series of projects exploring the use of an Open Data feed from a TfGM/ TRL SCOOT 7 system to power GLOSA applications on a small network at Radcliffe in Manchester.

Early work was self funded by KL Systems as research followed up by a project in 2020 funded by TfGM undertaken in conjunction with Amey.

KL Systems technology transformed second by second data on the real time state of the traffic lights into traffic light objects in a cloud based In-Vehicle Signage (IVS) system alongside Virtual and physical VMS from National and local traffic authorities, roadworks providers and others in the UK creating a unified IVS driving experience.

GLOSA in Manchester - Live Traffic Light IVS Integration

Delivery in the car was via a downloadable smartphone app linked to a vehicles integrated head unit using Android Auto.   

For the Radcliffe connected traffic light network as the equipped car drives towards a set of lights the In-vehicle display provides recommended optimal speed to drive through the lights without stopping, spoken and displayed and as the car gets closer to the lights the time to red/ time to green is displayed and spoken.

The system provides a practical, rapidly deployable way to explore the use of GLOSA and by using the cars in-built display provides a highly effective, immersive connected in-vehicle driving experience.

Extensible

Also deployed in Bristol and Stoke Traffic lights can be added in the cloud model in seconds and are then instantly operational anywhere in the UK or across the world.

As a demonstration if you have live real time data for traffic lights KL Systems would be pleased to integrate your data to show this working.

Requirement

  • Current state of lights (Red/ Green)
