The screen shows a project currently running at a roundabout on the Princes Highway in Albion Park, south of Wollongong. The roundabout has recently had new lights installed, but the lights only turn on when they are needed — when traffic flow becomes heavy and queuing reaches a certain length.
The graphs in the top right-hand corner show how long the queues are in each direction, which is taken into account when determining if lights will go on and for how long.
STAR's efforts received special mention by Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy in his speech at the event, who said it would "lead to more efficient operation of roads", meaning motorists would use less petrol and cut emissions.
