  • Patent number: 11842635
    Abstract: A traffic light control assembly includes a plurality of mounting poles each attached to a cross beam of a respective traffic signal at a roadway intersection. A plurality of light detection and ranging sensors is each mounted to a respective mounting pole to be elevated over traffic on the roadway. Each of the light detection and ranging sensors is positioned to sense the number of vehicles that are stopped at an opposing traffic signal. Each of the light detection and ranging sensors is in electrical communication with a remote data unit thereby facilitating the remote data unit to analyze data gathered by each of the light detection and ranging sensors with respect to the number of vehicles. Moreover, the remote data unit adjusts timing of the traffic signals to most efficiently direct traffic through the intersection with respect to the number of vehicles that are approaching the intersection.
