1. A traffic signal control system employing universal coordinated time (UTC) of OPS as time base comprising:

  • a core system for receiving data of GPS, and to include longitude and latitude data and to convert information to local time as a common time basis for the traffic signal control system;

    a basic input/output system including a manual control device, manual data input/output device, and a means of calculating rectified phase of a light signal switching;

    a selective secondary system including (a) a diode light source uninterrupted system, (b) a fine tune system, and (c) beehive wireless telephone system used as a non-synchronized batch type loading wireless re-new setting system to form a complete disperse system control system;

    wherein the manual control device of the basic input/output system is a relay, the manual data input/output device is a box containing IR receiving and transmitting device which is set by portable computer following an interface, the means of calculating rectified phase is added with a new rectified phase for light signal switching control parameter so that traffic signals synchronize at the same time, the beehive wireless telephone system divides 24 hour of a day into a plurality of interval, each interval being 10-15 minutes as a basis, including ⅔

    being communication time interval and ⅓

    being free interval.
