Abstract
A system for controlling a vehicle actuated signal includes: a vehicle terminal that transmits actuated signal light information and estimated arrival time information when an actuated signal lane on a travel route is reserved to be used; a telematics server that requests a signal change reservation based on the actuated signal light information and the estimated arrival time information; and a traffic light control server that sets the signal change reservation in response to a request of the telematics server and controls a signal of the actuated signal light based on set reservation information.
Claims20
A system for controlling a vehicle actuated signal, the system comprising:
- a vehicle terminal configured to transmit actuated signal light information and estimated arrival time information when an actuated signal lane on a travel route is reserved to be used;
- a telematics server configured to request a signal change reservation based on the actuated signal light information and the estimated arrival time information;
- and
- a traffic light control server configured to:
- set the signal change reservation in response to a request of the telematics server;
- and
- control a signal of an actuated signal light based on set reservation information,
- wherein the vehicle terminal includes:
- a processor configured to determine whether a vehicle is located in a detection area of the actuated signal lane through a vehicle speed sensor and a camera when the signal change reservation is not possible.
A method of controlling a vehicle actuated signal, the method comprising steps of:
- confirming, by a vehicle terminal, whether an actuated signal lane on a traveling route is reserved to be used,
- transmitting, by the vehicle terminal, actuated signal light information and estimated arrival time information to a telematics server when the actuated signal lane on the traveling route is reserved to be used;
- requesting, by the telematics server, a traffic light control server to reserve a signal change based on the actuated signal light information and the estimated arrival time information;
- and
- reserving, by the traffic light control server, the signal change in response to the request of the telematics server, and changing a signal of an actuated signal light based on reservation information,
- wherein the step of transmitting includes a step of determining, by the vehicle terminal, whether a vehicle is located in a detection area of the actuated signal lane through a vehicle speed sensor and a camera when the signal change reservation is not possible.
