PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a traffic light controller capable of preventing travel of other vehicles from being intervened.SOLUTION: Included are a specific vehicle travel decision unit 121 that decides based on information on a driver or information on a vehicle, which is acquired from a vehicle that is traveling on an incoming path led to an intersection, whether a vehicle driven by a driver, who is classified into a specific type, or a specific vehicle, which is a vehicle classified into a predetermined category, is traveling on an incoming path led to an intersection, a preceding jam decision unit 122 that acquires a result of decision made on whether a preceding jam, which indicates a state in which the vehicle cannot enter an outgoing path, which recedes from the intersection, because of a traffic congestion occurring on the outgoing path receding from the intersection has occurred, and a lighting time change unit 126 that changes a lighting time of a blue signal lamp of a signaling light on the incoming path, which is a signaling light disposed at the intersection and intended for vehicles that travel on the incoming path, on the basis of a result of decision made by the preceding jam decision unit 122.
【課題】他車両の走行の阻害を防止することのできる交通信号制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】交差点への流入路を走行する車両から取得される運転者の情報または車両の情報に基づいて、所定の種類に分類される運転者が運転する車両または所定の区分に分類される車両を示す特定車両が、交差点への流入路を走行しているか否かを判定する特定車両走行判定部121と、交差点からの流出路における交通渋滞によって当該交差点から当該流出路へ車両が進入することのできない状態を示す先詰まりが発生しているか否かの判定結果を取得する先詰まり判定部122と、特定車両走行判定部121により特定車両が流入路を走行していると判定された場合に、先詰まり判定部122が取得した判定結果に基づいて、交差点に設置された信号灯器であって、流入路を走行する車両に対する信号灯器である流入路信号灯器の青信号の灯色時間を変更する灯色時間変更部126とを備える。【選択図】図5
