It is one of the rare satisfactions of peak-hour driving: a momentary reprieve from the gridlock as a run of traffic lights consecutively flash green before your eyes.

Soon your car could emulate those dreamy stretches each day of the week, intuitively avoiding red lights and bringing a halt to stop-start city driving.

Car makers are racing to offer systems which calculate the amount of time before an upcoming set of traffic lights turn red, signalling to the driver the ideal speed needed to navigate roads and intersections in one constant movement.

Audi in Germany has pioneered the technology, joining forces with Berlin authorities in a trial which taps into the city's central traffic management system.

"The car is linked wirelessly to the central computer of the city of Berlin, and every second we get a ping from the computer which lets us know about the status flow of the traffic lights," Audi Germany technology and innovation spokesman, Tim Frozek, explained.

"We transfer that information into graphics on the driver information display and on one hand we have the possibility to let the driver know how long the red phase of the traffic light will last, and the other option is to show the driver the certain speed they should use for reaching the next green light."
