A traffic signal system and a traffic signal deployment method that enable a traffic signal to be disposed quickly are provided. A traffic signal system includes multiple drones each of which can hold a traffic signal, and a server that can communicate with the multiple drones, in which the server includes a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of a target point, the target point being a place where it is necessary to dispose the traffic signal, and the drone includes: a flight control unit that controls flight of the drone holding the traffic signal so that it moves to the target point and hovers at the target point based on the position information; and a light control unit that controls lighting of the traffic signal so that timings of the lighting of the multiple traffic signals are synchronized with each other.

A rotor includes: a rotor core in a shape of a shaft; a permanent magnet; and a connecting member interposed between the rotor core and the permanent magnet and connecting the permanent magnet to the rotor core. The connecting member contains a thermally conductive filler made of a non-magnetic material. Only ends of the filler have magnetism, and the ends are in contact with either or both of the rotor core and the permanent magnet.
