At artfromme.com we intend to bring forward fresh innovations to help the public solve problems and bring forward creative solutions with the help and support of the public.

One of the main problems these days that every country faces is traffic jams and despite all kinds of attempts to fix this problem it has got worse not better.  It will also get even more problematic in the future if steps are not taken

There are other alternatives like using underground tunnels etc and this would definitely make a serious difference but the problem will be so bad in the near future that you will need every trick in the book just to keep ahead of the problem.   It requires governments to tackle this problem in several different ways simultaneously in order to fix this longstanding issue

I have a number of solutions regarding this problem.  If we can get the traffic moving there will also be less pollution.  Clearly all these traffic jams simply pile on the pollution for the public.

Smarter Traffic Lights  / Congestion Busters 

GB2316232.4

Any driver reading this will understand where I am coming from.  You are behind a Bus that has stopped at the traffic lights and in the other lane this is a lorry.  When the lights go to green there is a significant delay as the heavy vehicles need to build up enough power to propel them very slowly forward, meantime you cannot overtake and simply have to wait.  

This kind of thing is happening  at many traffic lights where heavy vehicles take ages to move from a standing stop.  This I believe is the main cause of traffic jams because with this happening all the way down the road at most traffic lights it is completely killing the momentum of the traffic all the way down the road as it has a knock on effect.  The solution is to have either A.I. (artificial intelligence) or operated from a control room.

There could be two types of light sequences depending on the traffic.  One for normal conditions and one for rush hour when lights can be delayed going red when appropriate.

If for example its rush hour and two heavy vehicles with heavy weight are about to be stopped at the lights, a controller elsewhere sees this and puts a delay on the red light a second or two just long enough so the heavy lorry / buses are allowed through and do not end up at the front of the traffic lights to hold everyone back. (this could also be done by A.I)

A means to delay traffic lights coming on red depending on the vehicles about to be stopped to ensure that all heavy vehicles where possible are further back in the traffic queue to allow other faster cars etc to overtake and keep the momentum of the traffic going regardless of the number of vehicles.  It may not be possible to do this all the time but if it can be done most of the time then this is enough to make all the difference.  

You dont even need this on every road, just the problem roads or the main roads in and out of town.  This kind of thing would make a massive difference to traffic congestion worldwide and also the pollution associated with this particular problem.
