PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a signal control apparatus capable of preventing contact accidents of pedestrian crossing a crossing zone with a car turning left while preventing congestion of vehicles waiting to turn left.SOLUTION: A signal control apparatus 4 includes: a signal control unit 47 that controls the signal display of a vehicle traffic light 11; and a pedestrian determination part 46 that determines whether any pedestrian is crossing a crossing zone in an intersection into which a vehicle which follows the signal display of the vehicle traffic light and turns left will proceed. When the pedestrian determination part determines that there is a pedestrian crossing the crossing zone in a period when the vehicle traffic light should display a left-turn signal and a rectilinear signal, the signal control unit 47 controls the signal display to display the rectilinear signal only excluding the left-turn signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】横断区域を横断する歩行者と左折車との接触事故の防止、および左折待ちの車両の渋滞の防止を両方とも実現することが可能な信号制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】信号制御装置4が、車両用信号機11の信号表示を制御する信号制御部47と、車両用信号機の信号表示に従う車両が左折したときに進入する交差点の横断区域を横断する歩行者が存在するか否かを判定する横断者判定部46とを備え、信号制御部47は、車両用信号機が左折信号および直進信号を表示すべき期間に、横断者判定部で横断区域を横断する歩行者が存在すると判定された場合には、左折信号は表示せず直進信号のみを表示するように信号表示を制御する構成とする。【選択図】図1
