#Can the internet of things save us from traffic jams? Traffic is getting worse. It doesn just feel that way,
the stats prove it: commuters in 2014 spent an average 66 more hours stuck in traffic than they did in 2013, according to navigation tech firm Tomtom.
So when internet of things technology is disrupting every part of our lives, when will traffic lights be rebuilt rethought and?
Well, the traffic light revolution is already underway. It is all part of the promise of connected and self-driving cars,
which allow data about individual journeys, routes and vehicles to be monitored centrally, controlled and systematised.
Autonomous intersection management Once computers are in full control of our cars, do need we even traffic lights at intersections?
That the idea behind AIM autonomous intersection management at the artificial intelligence laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin.
Rather than stop at red lights, self-driving cars would schedule a slot through an intersection in real-time,
But it won be fainthearted for the at least not until passengers have learnt to entirely trust their automated pilots:
For the idea to work, it would require roads to be mostly full of autonomous cars, says project leader Professor Peter Stone
The researchers compared AIM to heavy traffic on a major road, saying it would reduce delay by as much as 100 times though that only at intersections, not total driving time.
but also used anonymised data from third party navigation apps, including smartphone maps. e have agreements with a number of smartphone manufacturers,
says Nick Cohn, senior traffic expert at Tomtom. It also gathers data from telematics units installed in fleet vehicles as well as in-dash systems
and for deciding whether they need to switch to a different traffic signal scheme, Cohn says.

he says. t might be to turn some traffic lights green quicker or send a text message to a car,
Highways England used to simply warn there were ueues ahead but now tells drivers it will be 17 minutes to their junction, points out Giles Perkins, business development director for intelligent transport at Mouchel,
which runs the National Traffic information service. ore data in and more data out can only be a good thing.
Unintended consequences Though traffic data makes it possible to see the movement of traffic in real time,
and traffic lights themselves are operated algorithmically, it is still not possible to engineer a way of turning the lights green as you pull up. t easy to change the traffic lights, ssays IBM Standford-Clark. ut...
you get this terrible interconnection of unintended consequences. Your main route into a city may be clear,
but every road feeding into it would be gridlocked. t not a trivial thing to do.
One way self-driving vehicles may be introduced is latooning with a lead car in control of a train or group of followers, handy for giving lorry drivers a break.

There, traffic lights are alkingto motorists, sending messages to a device in car about obstacles or delays ahead,
if they travel at 24 miles an hour they will hit the next four sets of traffic lights on green,
says Newcastle University professor of intelligent transport systems Phil Blyte, announcing the project. n more congested areas or particularly busy times of the day,
then vehicles on key roads might be given priority in order to keep the traffic flowing. The system also gives priority to non-emergency vehicles,
So far, 20 traffic lights are using the system in Newcastle city centre. Zombies ahead and cyclists As with any tech innovation, one of the biggest challenges is security.
The best example so far is hacked surely construction signs in the US with attackers warning of zombies ahead,
roads aren used only by cars. What about the bicycles, scooters and pedestrians hoping to cross the street?
They have smartphones, so there otential to do something with that, said Tomtom Cohn. think it be great as a pedestrian and a cyclist if
I didn have to push a button to cross and I didn have to wait, that
or route when I walking or cycling. That raises a question: what the goal of Iot-connected traffic lights?
don think the main reason is going to be racing people through intersections, it going to be said safety applications
boost public transport or improve safety, or is there some other goal we haven thought of yet? here a whole bunch of optimisation goals which may not be the ones you first thing of,
The best way to achieve it may not be via smart, reactive traffic lights, but by sending messages to drivers in cars,
and nudging them into better routes. t probably easier to change driver behaviour than it is to change the traffic lights.

Furthermore there has to date been known no hormonal response to fructose in the way that the hormone insulin responds to glucose.
Maratos-Flier has been studying the FGF21 hormone for almost a decade and previously found that in both humans
and that Chrebp can regulate FGF21 expression suggested to Maratos-Flier and Herman the intriguing hypothesis that fructose ingestion might stimulate production of circulating FGF21 in people.
This tells us that fructose actively regulates FGF21 in humans says Maratos-Flier. The hormone-like response of FGF21 to fructose ingestion suggests that FGF21 might play an unanticipated role in regulating fructose metabolism.
because to date there has been no way of assessing the body's acute metabolic response to fructose ingestion.
