Problem Or Need Traffic lights can frequently be difficult to see
In front of the sun.
Blocked by large vehicles.
Lights behind sharp turns.
Motivation According to NHTSA in 2008*
~800k intersection related traffic accidents
Majority (>50%) of these accidents attributed to traffic light recognition errors
>7400 were fatal
Increase Traffic Safety
Save Lives!
* NHTSA. (2010). “Crash factors in Intersection-Related Crashes: An On-Scene Perspective”. DOTHS 811 366. Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Objective Create a dashboard mounted device that displays relevant traffic light
information. Current light state
Amount of time left for relevant light state
Proof of concept design, not a complete solution!
Requirements Should display accurately and be simple to understand Low Cost/Power Consumption Durable/Reliable Safe, easy to use Should be able to fit and operate in a vehicle Software should be easy/readily available.
Alternatives Google utilizes a related design in its driverless car.*
Still susceptible to line of sight
Requires extensive optical algorithms
NHTSA is researching options
