GLOSSARY
a traffic light control system which is adaptive to actual traffic demand.
an intersection equipped with traffic lights to enhance traffic safety.
a point of road congestions and minimum traffic capacity.
a maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point using all road lanes.
a traffic detector that integrates multiple detection technologies.
vehicle flows with conflicting traffic movement paths.
a system that manages traffic lights and variable message signs (VMS) to improve traffic management efficiency.
a number of vehicles occupying a unit length of roadway, typically expressed as vehicles per kilometer (veh/km)
a work mode of a coordinated group of traffic lights when several traffic lights set up a non-stop "green route" for vehicles; turns on for a while.
a work mode of a coordinated group of traffic lights intended for one-time vehicle group non-stop passing; vehicles must move in one direction. While a «wave» moves each traffic light controller (TLC) in the group switches to a required mode one by one. After passing the vehicle group TLCs switch to a basic mode.
a traffic detector embedded in the road that detects vehicles by sensing changes in electromagnetic inductance.
a traffic detector enable to detect vehicles in a given point of roadway based on infrared radiation of a heated one.
an integration of advanced technologies to improve traffic mobility, efficiency, and safety.
a number of vehicles passing a reference point on a roadway per unit time (typically vehicles per hour, veh/h).
a traffic data collection device that requires embedding in roadway pavement.
a detector used to determine count, presence, and speed of vehicles by measuring disturbances in Earth's magnetic field.
a traffic detector used to measure speed, occupancy, classification, and other traffic parameters using Doppler radar technology.
an ability of road users to move from place to place.
a traffic data collection device that operates without embedding in roadway pavement.
a percentage of time a traffic detector senses vehicle presence over a measurement period.
a manual coordination of traffic equipment by operators at a traffic management center.
the highest traffic volume passing a reference point on a roadway during a specific time period.
a total number of pedestrians passing through a given area or reference point.
a button that pedestrians press to activate the pedestrian signal phase, ensuring safe roadway crossing.
a traffic detector that continuously identifies vehicles at a specific point or zone on a roadway.
an adaptive traffic light system that prioritizes passage for public and special city transport.
a panel that enables traffic police to manually control traffic light controllers at intersections.
