JLR develops new technology to help drivers avoid red lights

GLOSA system allows vehicles to talk to traffic lights and informs drivers the speed at which they should drive as they approach junctions or signals

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has developed ‘Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA)’ technology that helps drivers to avoid red lights, the automaker said in a press release on 15 November. The GLOSA system is a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology which allows vehicles to talk to traffic lights and informs drivers the speed at which they should drive as they approach junctions or signals. The technology helps to prevent drivers from racing to beat the red lights and improve safety and reduce traffic congestion near traffic signals.
