Vehicle traffic management via wireless system

A system comprising:

• a master communication device;
• multiple slave communication devices;
• and
• the master communication device operative to:
• establish first wireless connectivity with each of the multiple slave communication devices, each of the slave communication devices monitoring vehicular traffic at a first traffic intersection in a wireless network environment;
• receive input of monitored vehicular traffic from the multiple slave communication devices;
• and
• communicate a status of the vehicular traffic over second wireless connectivity to a wireless base station in communication with a controller that controls the vehicular traffic at the first traffic intersection.

A method comprising:

• at a traffic light controller:
• receiving first vehicle status information transmitted over first wireless connectivity from a first master communication device that monitors a first street intersection in a wireless network environment via first traffic monitor information wirelessly received from a first set of slave communication devices operative to collectively monitor the first street intersection;
• receiving second vehicle status information transmitted over second wireless connectivity from a second master communication device that monitors a second street intersection in the wireless network environment via second traffic monitor information wirelessly received from a second set of slave communication devices operative to collectively monitor the second street intersection;
• and
• based on the first vehicle status information and the second vehicle status information, producing traffic light control information.

Computer-readable storage hardware having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, cause the computer processor hardware to:

• establish first wireless connectivity with each of multiple slave communication devices, each of the slave communication devices monitoring vehicular traffic at the first traffic intersection;
• receive input of monitored vehicular traffic from the multiple slave communication devices;
• and
• communicate a status of the vehicular traffic over second wireless connectivity to a wireless base station in communication with a controller that controls the vehicular traffic at the first traffic intersection.
