signalcontrol
Signal control is the act of directing or managing signals—devices that convey information or commands—to achieve safe, efficient, and reliable operation in systems that rely on signaling. The term covers several domains, including traffic engineering, railway signaling, and electronic signaling.
In traffic engineering, signal control refers to the coordination and timing of traffic signals at intersections
In railway signaling, signal control ensures safe train movements through interlocking and block systems. Signals convey
In electronics and computing, signal control includes gating, enabling, or routing of electrical or digital signals
Overall, signal control integrates sensing, decision-making, and actuation to regulate the flow of information and movement
