Abstract
A method for controlling traffic by a traffic control system includes transmitting, to a first traffic control vehicle, a first message requesting the first traffic control vehicle to autonomously navigate to a location corresponding to a traffic incident. The method also includes monitoring a location of the first traffic control vehicle based on receiving location information from the first traffic control vehicle. The method also includes transmitting, to the first traffic control vehicle, first information to be displayed via a first notification device integrated with the first traffic control vehicle based on the location information corresponding to the location of the traffic incident. The method still further includes transmitting, to the first traffic control vehicle after a period of time, a request to navigate away from the location of the traffic incident.
