Another traffic project is STAR — Smart Transport and Roads — designed to monitor traffic flow. Instead of laying a wire at traffic lights to track when a car passes an intersection, the project uses video sensors to work out in real time how many cars are standing in a queue.
The real-time information can then be used to allow dynamic traffic control, altering traffic light phases, for example, or permitting more right-hand turns in a lane.
