A method of using predictive traffic signal information to adjust an operation of an on-board system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving the predictive traffic signal information from outside of the vehicle;
- integrating the predictive traffic signal information with internal information about the vehicle;
- and
- adjusting the operation of the on-board system based on the predictive traffic signal information and the internal information about the vehicle;
- wherein the predictive traffic signal information is generated by:
- obtaining data from a plurality of types of sources;
- and
- analyzing the data to predict states of a plurality of traffic signals,
- wherein the data comprise crowdsourced data.
