video game traffic controller

Have you played an on-line game? I have for longer than I would like to say. I had rescently talked to a police officer about the thermo imaging "sensors" that were applied above the traffic signals in my home town. My proposition revolves around really inefficient traffic flow and the supernatural ability of some of the game players out there. If the sensors could generate an image on a video game symbolysing an approaching car at an intersection, than it could turn a real live problem into a challanging video game any person could play; the players would do the work of a traffic controller in most aspects. Of course there would be someone actually paid to over-see to make sure there are no real conflicts. The overseers would manually override any mistakes occationally, in case the connection failed, the player left the game to use the restroom, etc. and to actually report an immediate problem where law enforcement, ambulance or any apparent real life situation may arise.
