Using Machine Learning Techniques to Incorporate Social Priorities in Traffic Monitoring in a Junction with a Fast Lane

Abstract

Traffic lights monitoring that considers only traffic volumes is not necessarily the optimal way to time the green/red allocation in a junction. A “smart” allocation should also consider the necessities of the vehicle’s passengers and the needs of the people those passengers ought to serve.
