The Cyclescope software is optimised for bicycle detection and when it detects a bicycle stopped at the intersection stop line, the upgraded system initiates a Bike Min-Green operation. This extends the green phase of the lights controlling the relevant direction by around four seconds in order to provide the cyclist additional time to clear the intersection.
When there are no bicycles detected, the normal signal timing optimised for motor vehicles, is resumed and no action required by the rider to initiate a call for a green light.
