Pedestrian traffic lights and vehicle traffic lights are installed all over the road in order to allow the roads to be used safely by the vehicles and pedestrians as the roads expand and as the number of vehicles increases. Especially, traffic congestion areas such as intersections have traffic lights as well as traffic lights Loop detectors for detecting traffic lights, CCTV for monitoring roads, etc. These traffic lights, loop detectors and CCTVs are connected to a traffic signal controller installed at one side of the road, The traffic signal controller collects various traffic information transmitted from the control objects to the traffic control center by being connected to the external traffic control center through a dedicated line.
Generally, in the conventional traffic signal control system, the 220V energizing cables are connected in a one-to-one manner between the traffic signal controller and the respective control objects, and at the same time, the control objects are driven by the switch control method. A bundle of strong electric cables connected between the control objects is indiscriminately accommodated.
Therefore, in the traffic signal control system of the related art, the volume of the housing forming the traffic signal controller increases, unnecessarily large space is consumed, the strong cables are connected in a one-to-one manner and the power leakage is severe and there is a safety risk due to the strong cable bundles , Installation and maintenance are difficult.

However, in the conventional method 1), the controller and the Proxim (radio equipment) to be controlled are configured to transmit and receive the traffic-related data through the wireless communication through the wireless communication. Therefore, the wireless communication interface module must be installed in each device, The communication stability is lowered.
In addition, in the conventional method 2), the light source of a signal lamp is provided as an LED so that the LED is used for data transmission and reception while providing signal information. However, in order to improve data transmission / reception efficiency of optical communication, Because installation skills require specialized skills, installation costs are increased, and they are vulnerable to surrounding environments and obstacles.
In addition, the conventional method 3) has a disadvantage in that a separate communication line is unnecessary and has an advantage of being easy to install, but has a drawback in that transmission power is limited and interference and noise are severe due to high load.
In order to solve this problem, the applicant of the present application filed a traffic signal control system which controls the control objects by using can communication while supplying a voltage to the control objects using a single low-voltage cable, 10-1506301 (entitled " Traffic Signal Control System Using CAN Communication ").
