Abstract

Traffic signals provide the key mechanism to regulate traffic, and promote safe and efficient traffic flow at intersections. However, incidents of red light running can compromise the safety of the system. These incidents stem mostly due to the well known dilemma zone problem where the drivers cannot decide whether slowing down the vehicle would bring their vehicle to a stop or should they increase the speed and cross the intersection. Other factors, such as wet road conditions, make the problem worse.
