Copenhagen to install intelligent traffic light can read road conditions

  Noted for its bicycle culture in Denmark's capital Copenhagen in 2009 has made a big goal: to become zero carbon emissions before 2025 (carbon neutral) of the city, and the city to promote public transport and bicycle commuting.

  In addition, the intelligent lights can detect a pedestrian signal with a smart phone based on Bluetooth, so as to determine their number. 2014 once they were tested after the game, jams from 40 minutes in half.

  Under the plan, Copenhagen to buses by the end of this year's travel time reduced by 5%-20%. Already in the Copenhagen suburb of Worcester, (Valby) according to test results, the new device could have let the bus during rush hour to save a maximum of 2 minutes.

Copenhagen to install intelligent traffic light: can read road conditions?

Built green lights on the ground, it is recommended that cyclists speed of 20km/h

  Copenhagen the scheme in enhancing the efficiency of green on the trip's latest effort. In this city, 40% of people commuting by bike, they have dedicated lanes on an overpass.

  In order to enhance efficiency of the bike, city roads built with green lights, if green light is off the ground, riders knew in order to catch up with the front of the Green needs to speed up. MCM
