Very Nice initiative but not to be discouraging you IN India the population density is so much that this system will always be on...think about it. have you seen a road empty for a full 5 minutes ?
I haven't seen that even at wee hours of morning I still see people going around. but its a novel thing you are doing. GO Green.

the idea given by JD is perfect .. but the idea by German company *****... i mean dial to switch on the light ... WTF ...

and also ... idea by JD is much simpler to implement .. really ....

I had thought of a similar idea long time back for red light crossings ... at different times .. different roads on a single red light crossing have different traffic frequency. Yet ... the light goes red on each crossing (4) for a fixed time. It happens that at say noon .. the road on which there is no traffic has red light for just 30 sec .. and the road that has a lot of traffic has red light for 60 sec ... and it happens entire noon causing jam at one road .. yet the other (perpendicular) one is just empty ...

So have a magnetic barrier around 500 metres off the red light junction and continuously monitor the traffic at each road (4 roads) and depending on the traffic rush of each road ... adjust the red light timings. The road that has max traffic .. let the red light turn on there only for 10-20 seconds and allow green there for longer durations.

Really ... loads of traffic jams can be avoided ... ....

Or ... build a Flyover .. ha ha ha ...

this sys will work very nicely in our city though whre we have nobody on roads after 11 0 clock in the night ... we nice find mate .....

but street light is needed all the time at night.. even if sum1 is walking. u need street lights.. it would increase crime rates.. also certain things for example you car is parked between to sensors.. so u have to move like 300 - 400 m wiout street light.. unless u put on the sensor every few metres. which will itself makea small portion of lights go fo .. (maybe just 2-3 lights) .. which would not save enough electricity and will not cover any real costs..

only best thing would be turn off the lights as ssoon as its monring.. that can be done torugh light sensors for it. since humans can make error or they are just too lazy over here in india.



and if i am not wrong .. the street lights here tkae a couple of minutes to light up to their full intensity.. which itself kills the purpose of puttiong them off for small periods..

This is actually the de facto method of traffic control the world over. Just not back home :/

Exactly. Like I said. Nice initiative. That's all.

This is used world OVER.. and trust me!! this will greatly reduce the emission levels and wait times.. For example if my father earns 500Rs an hour .. and if he has to waste 1 hr on the roads everyday to commute and due to jams.. he looses 1.8lacs a year!! now multiply this many folds.. !! and see how much the country looses.. n think if we are able dave time.. how much our country can prosper more!!

This is kinda the most essential thing on the list.. and ironically it is way cheaper then building flyovers on such busy roads for example nariana New Delhi..

lolz ... now since i havent been the world over ... i didnt know it was like that ... ...

anyways ... so dammit ... my idea already implemented world over ... so when are we gonna start it in India ... specially Pune ...
