The present disclosure is directed to methods and apparatus that manage the flow of traffic. Methods and systems consistent with the present disclosure may allow biometric information of individuals to be collected when access privileges associated with particular individuals are validated or updated. These methods may allow a supervisor to temporarily or permanently authorize certain employees to access components that are located within a traffic control cabinet and these methods may allow changes in traffic signal light timing to be authorized according to a set of rules. Such authorization rules may require proposed signal light timing changes to be approved by a supervisor before a proposed change is implemented. Methods and systems consistent with the present disclosure may also cause components within a control cabinet to be disabled or disconnected when a signal light control cabinet is accessed by unauthorized persons.
