Most central Cambridge junctions snarl up at critical moments between lectures, with accidents, broken limbs and worse as students jump red lights after realising they are running late. Your task is to create a fault-tolerant traffic light controller (using a pair of Raspberry Pis with a hardware fail-over), that builds a traffic model based on weather data, university building management systems, bus timetables, and any other data sources that you can discover to accurately predict cycle volumes. This database should be combined with traffic sensor data to invent a new cycle-aware junction control model.
