TechnoNews - UK - Buses get green light to catch up when running late
Edinburgh,Scotland,UK - Scotsman, by ALAN RODEN -27 Mar 2006: -- Edinburgh's traffic signals are to be controlled by satellite to ensure late-running buses always get a green light... The new technology is being installed as part of a £800,000 revamp of the city's traffic light system... Satellites will be used to pin-point the exact location of a bus and check if it is running to schedule. If an approaching bus is late, traffic lights will either be held on green until the vehicle reaches the junction, or changed to green as quickly as possible... The upgraded technology also means computers will monitor congestion in real-time across the city, and alter traffic lights to tackle tailbacks...
