I have no doubt in that. At one point not long ago, the state had some 60 or 70 different financial systems with few to none that could talk to each other and they were all "too old to replace". Um, that means they DO need to be replaced... like now.

Most of the same applies. Most lights are independent from the rest of the system. There's no ability for the system to adjust timing based on system demand. Those systems exist, but they're not deployed (or properly configured if they are) most places. Most traffic lights default to flashing red after a power outage. This is singly one of the most retarded things they could do. When the power comes back on, just do what you were already doing. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 9, 2016 9:47:24 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Delta failure So what makes traffic lights not efficient?

You would think someone the size of Delta would know better. They should look into this new thing called "the cloud"... I've heard it's an up-and-coming new technology that might really help them.
