Abstract
A method for predicting a remaining time of a signal phase includes capturing traffic data and a signal phase specification distinguishing different signal phases of a traffic signal generator. The traffic data is fed as input data to an artificial neural network including first and second sub-networks and a combination network for combining output data of the two sub-networks. The artificial neural network is trained to reproduce a time still remaining until a phase change of the traffic signal generator based on the traffic data. Outputting of the output data of the first and second sub-networks is controlled in a manner complementary to one another according to the signal phase specification. Lastly, the output data of the combination network or the prediction data derived therefrom are transmitted to a transport device or to a road user as a prediction of the time remaining for influencing traffic.
