Audi Expands Traffic Light Knowledge

Audi is the first manufacturer to launch Green Light Optimized Speed ​​Advisory (GLOSA) in the US GLOSA offers speed recommendations to minimize stop in red light and helps reduce driver stress

GLOSA uses traffic signal information and the vehicle's current position to display a speed recommendation designed to allow drivers to pass the traffic lights through a green range to help reduce the number of stops at the red lights. The stop distance, the speed limit profile for the field, and the signal timing schedules are used to calculate the displayed speed recommendation to the driver.

Survey data from the AAA Traffic Safety Foundation show that an average American driver spent an average of 300 hours per year on the equivalent of twenty-four-hour weeks in the office. Giving drivers additional information, such as green light optimized speed recommendations, can help reduce anxiety and help the driver to relax at the times behind the wheel.

”Audi is committed to moving America in many ways, including the development of industry-leading connectivity and mobility solutions,“ he said. ”Nowadays, not only technologies such as GLOSA-to-infrastructure technologies benefit drivers, they are also critical steps to move towards an automatic future.“
