Dynamically configurable traffic controllers and methods of using the same
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a first sensor to face a first direction to detect oncoming traffic in a first area;
a second sensor to face a second direction to detect oncoming traffic in a second area; and
a first display to face the first area, the first display to display a first signal in response to (1) the first sensor not detecting the oncoming traffic in the first area and (2) the second sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the second area, the first display to display a second signal in response to (1) the first sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the first area and (2) the second sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the second area, the first signal being different than the second signal.

Abstract
Dynamically configurable traffic controllers and methods of using the same are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first sensor to face a first direction to detect oncoming traffic in a first area, a second sensor to face a second direction to detect oncoming traffic in a second area, and a first display to face the first area. The first display is to display a first signal in response to (1) the first sensor not detecting the oncoming traffic in the first area and (2) the second sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the second area. The first display is to display a second signal in response to (1) the first sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the first area and (2) the second sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the second area. The first signal is different than the second signal.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
detect oncoming traffic in a first area based on a first input from a first sensor facing in a first direction; detect oncoming traffic in a second area based on a second input from a second sensor facing in a second direction; and display, via a first display facing toward the first area, a first signal in response to (1) receiving no input from the first sensor and (2) receiving the second input from the second sensor; and display, via the first display, a second signal in response to (1) receiving the first input from the first sensor and (2) receiving the second input from the second sensor, the first signal being different than the second signal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method, comprising:
-
monitoring, with a first sensor, oncoming traffic in a first area; monitoring, with a second sensor, oncoming traffic in a second area; displaying, with a first display facing toward the first area, a first signal in response to (1) the first sensor not detecting the oncoming traffic in the first area and (2) the second sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the second area; and displaying, with the first display, a second signal in response to (1) the first sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the first area and (2) the second sensor detecting the oncoming traffic in the second area, the first signal being different than the second signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
