Conventional signal controllers require electrical power, so an outage can take an intersection dark unless adequate backup power and maintenance are provided.
UPS or battery systems can keep critical signal equipment operating for a period, but batteries age, loads differ and extended outages can exceed the designed autonomy. A resilient intersection therefore needs an appropriate backup-power design, health monitoring, maintenance and a clear response plan.
A UPS that has not been tested or whose batteries are at end of life can fail when the grid fails.
Monitoring power and cabinet health can help operators identify outages and battery problems before relying only on public reports.
It may be technically possible for suitable intersections, but traffic-signal loads, safety requirements, solar resource, battery autonomy and local standards must be engineered for the specific site.
