“…Works exploiting technologies besides standard ITS communication technologies also exist. R. Gheorghiu et al [11] evaluated the use of ZigBee technologies for Vehicular-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications. The system would be installed in emergency vehicles that, when in the vicinity of an intersection, would communicate with the traffic light system so the latter could facilitate the crossing of the emergency vehicle.…”

“…The existing solutions differ from the work presented in this paper since none exploits Bluetooh Low Energy (BLE) [13] as an alternative technology. Moreover, our work focus on a centralized approach that combines both legacy and ITS systems; the aforementioned works either employ distributed approaches [6], [7], [8], [9], discard the support for legacy vehicles [10], or focus on applications oriented towards emergency vehicles [11], [12].…”

Traffic control management at intersections, a challenging and complex field of study, aims to attain a balance between safety and efficient traffic control. Nowadays, traffic control at intersections is typically done by traffic light systems which are not optimal and exhibit several drawbacks, e.g. poor efficiency and real-time adaptability. With the advent of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), vehicles are being equipped with state-of-the-art technology, enabling cooperative decision-making which will certainly overwhelm the available traffic control systems. This solution strongly penalizes users without such capabilities, namely pedestrians, cyclists and other legacy vehicles. Therefore, in this work, a prototype based on an alternative technology to the standard vehicular communications, BLE, is presented. The proposed framework aims to integrate legacy and modern vehicular communication systems into a cohesive management system. In this framework, the movements of users at intersections are managed by a centralized controller which, through the use of networked retransmitters deployed at intersections, broadcasts alerts and virtual light signalization orders. Users receive the aforementioned information on their own smart devices, discarding the need for dedicated light signalization infrastructures. Field tests, carried-out with a realworld implementation, validate the correct operation of the proposed framework.
