How much time do smart traffic lights save? ATSC systems can reduce vehicle wait time by 40%, cut travel time by nearly 26%, and lessen vehicle emissions by 21%, according to Carnegie Mellon University. Digital traffic signals can dispatch pre-processed and raw data to a connected cloud-based control center, such as an intelligent transport system (ITS).
