Potential Misuse:
Sensor Abuse
Risk: Drivers can trigger a sensor several times to trick the system into believing more vehicles present at the intersection.
Solution: Implementation of multiple methods of feedback (e.g. cameras) to verify that the information collected is accurate.
Smart Signaling Failure
Risk: Smart signaling does not function unbiasedly and unintentionally makes vehicles and pedestrians stop at the intersection longer than necessary.
Solution: Strive for higher software quality and efficiency.
Road Violations
Risk: Drivers and pedestrians do not follow signaling and pass red lights or jaywalk causing incidents
Solution: Implement failsafe and account for situations where drivers or pedestrians violate intersection signalingÂ
