If you're comfortable with the present green, amber, and red traffic lights, be prepared to get uncomfortable. New research suggests that adding a white light will speed up traffic and improve safety ...

Engineers are exploring a future white phase on U.S. traffic lights, showing how autonomous vehicles could coordinate movement at intersections.

Traffic engineers are quietly working on a radical idea: adding a white signal to the familiar red, yellow, and green. Instead of signaling drivers directly, the extra light would tell humans when to ...

Development of self-driving technology seems to have slowed down due to the complexity of navigating human-driven traffic. A new paper from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ...

As more self-driving cars enter roadways around the world, many aspects of driving could change forever. More electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AV) are already leading engineers to ...

The classic traffic signal design was internationally recognized in 1931. The ubiquity of stop lights’ Red-Yellow-Green phases aren’t just coincidence—they’re actually codified in an international ...

A “white light” added to traffic signals could enable self-driving vehicles to help control traffic flow—and let human drivers know what’s going on. In computational simulations, the new approach ...

What do you think of a fourth traffic light color being added to traffic signals for self-driving vehicles to help control traffic flow? I get that one day a bunch of connected autonomous cars may ...

If you've ever wondered how traffic lights work and how they can detect your car, you've probably also been curious about those small blue lights mounted above the signals themselves. These blue ...

As cars and trucks get smarter and more connected, the humble lights that have controlled the flow of traffic for more than a century could also be on the cusp of a major transformation. Researchers ...
