Traffic ControlMarie desJardins

• Why I picked it
• I hate sitting at traffic lights and being stuck
  in traffic
• If people spent less time idling, it would reduce
  greenhouse emissions and calm road rage

• Computing
• Adaptive traffic light timing
• Traffic intersection control (see picture)
• Monitor traffic density (google maps traffic
  option)
