Over the past 50 years, the domestic industry has produced several generations of road controllers, which form the basis of traffic control on the road network in the Russian Federation. Microprocessor technologies are widely used. Most traffic lights are included in automated traffic control systems, and more recently in intelligent transport systems. At the same time, the design remained virtually unchanged. Free-standing vandal-resistant metal cabinets on independent foundations are still needed. Switching of signals of traffic lights is made by switching of power supply. Connecting new devices to the controllers (transport detectors, video cameras, communication lines, etc.) each time requires the development of a new interface. In the proposed article, based on the classification of road controllers by periods of development and analysis of their functions, the structure and design of the 4th generation controllers are proposed. It is assumed that the concept of "smart traffic lights" with built-in led elements will eliminate the need for independent structural elements in the form of metal cabinets while expanding the functionality. Proposals for amendments and additions to the existing standards have been developed.
