MODULAR TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM SET TO REVOLUTIONISE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND REDUCE COSTS

摘要

The modular traffic Light System (MTLS) was conceived and developed in response to the high number of serious injuries andrnfatalities among motorists around the world. Thirty per cent of all motor accidents worldwide involve vehicles impacting traffic lights and street poles. Of these accidents 2,5% are fatal and many more result in serious injuries (University of Adelaide, Australia study, 1999).rnInstead of offering an impacting vehicle a high level of resistance, the MTLS is designed to collapse on impact. This dramatically reduces the level of damage to the motor vehicle and in turn greatly increases passenger safety.
