Most traffic lights are dumb – they just come with a built-in timer and ensure that no accidents happen, paving the way for smooth traffic (according to the best of its ability, any way). Well, here is a “smart” traffic light known as the Intersector, where it is capable of detecting incoming bicycles at a crossroads, changing the light times to make it safer for cyclists – and helping impatient drivers get to their destination faster. Makes sense, considering how cars generally move far faster than bicycles, which places cyclists in jeopardy whenever the traffic lights decide to turn green – or red.
Ubergizmo, Intersector traffic light smart enough to detect incoming bicycles
