Intelligent Traffic Lights

A team of researchers from industry and university institutes has developed an intelligent traffic light system which reacts to the actual traffic situation. These modern traffic lights help to save time and protect the environment. The project is part of the research initiative AKTIV (Adaptive and cooperative technologies for intelligent transport) funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi)

: 29 partners from the automotive and supplier industry are working together to find solutions which channel traffic in the best possible way and provide individual support for drivers in potential accident situations.
Aktiv stands for „Adaptive and Cooperative Technologies for the Intelligent Traffic“. This German research initiative brings together 29 partners - automobile manufacturers and suppliers, electronic, telecommunication and software companies as well as research institutions. The four-year cooperation will continue through 2010.
With the goal of improving both traffic safety and traffic flow in the future, the partners are working together to design, develop, and evaluate novel driver assistance systems, knowledge and information technologies, solutions for efficient traffic management and C2C and C2I communication for future cooperative vehicle applications.

Aktiv Partners

29 partners cooperate in the three projects of the initiative Aktiv - automobile manufacturers and suppliers, electronic, telecommunication, and software companies as well as research institutes. Numerous university and research institutes as well as small to medium-sized companies are also contributing to the projects as subcontractors.
