    Impact of Energy Outages on Traffic Lights: Use of Back Up Solar Batteries
    (Inglés II. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Paraná, 2025-12) Bieri, Fiorella; Frías, Franco; Pekar, Marcelo
    Abstract— Nowadays, transport has come a long way in terms of innovation and versatility, and most people choose personal vehicles to move from one point to another in a city. In big cities this has become an issue due to the high density of traffic that is generated, which often results in traffic accidents. To solve this situation there are different types of signals; one of them being traffic lights. However, this system is not perfect, as these lights can stop working due to numerous situations, one of them being power outages. The purpose of this project is to describe the importance of the problem of energy outages in traffic lights and analyse backup solar batteries as a main solution. To achieve this, the project is organized as follow. First, a description of the consequences of power outages in cities. Secondly, solar backup batteries are studied as a solution. Finally, the weaknesses and strengths of backup solar batteries are analysed. This project is expected to take advantage of the existing sustainable energy technologies, while at the same time, contributing to the transition to clean and sustainable energy.
