Definition

СВЕТОИЗЛУЧАЮЩИЙ ДИОД

(светодиод , электролюминесцентный диод), полупроводниковый прибор с электронно-дырочным переходом или контактом металл - полупроводник, генерирующий (при прохождении через него электрического тока) оптическое излучение, которое в видимой области воспринимается как одноцветное. Яркость излучения достигает 105 кд/м2, кпд 40%. Применяется в индикаторных устройствах, системах отображения информации и др.; перспективен в оптической связи и т. д.

Traffic light

Traffic lights, traffic signals, or stoplights – also known as robots in South Africa – are signalling devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings, and other locations in order to control flows of traffic.

Traffic lights consist normally of three signals, transmitting meaningful information to drivers and riders through colours and symbols including arrows and bicycles. The regular traffic light colours are red, yellow (also known as amber), and green arranged vertically or horizontally in that order. Although this is internationally standardised, variations exist on national and local scales as to traffic light sequences and laws.

The method was first introduced in December 1868 on Parliament Square in London to reduce the need for police officers to control traffic. Since then, electricity and computerised control has advanced traffic light technology and increased intersection capacity. The system is also used for other purposes, for example, to control pedestrian movements, variable lane control (such as tidal flow systems or smart motorways), and railway level crossings.

Examples of use of signal light

1. I see a white signal light on the ridge." The night before, Wallace had sent out two platoons of scouts.

2. "You can imagine signalling being not just a static signal light but something more dynamic," says Mr Chin, who suggests the words "reversing" or "turning left" could roll across the car‘s body to declare the driver‘s intentions.
