Oslo Virtual Sensor Green Wave
GPS-based conditional priority for public transport
Oslo represents the cutting-edge of the "green wave" concept. Instead of cutting expensive physical detection loops into the pavement, the city relies entirely on "virtual sensors" utilizing existing GPS trackers on buses.

The Innovation
By utilizing the existing GPS trackers on buses, traffic managers map geographic reporting points in their software. When a bus crosses this virtual sensor, the system instantly communicates with the Traffic Light Controller (TLC) to grant conditional priority based on the bus's occupancy or delay status.
