ArabiaWeather - In our modern era, artificial intelligence has become indispensable in our daily lives, and with the rapid progress in this field, artificial intelligence appears as a solution to solve many of the challenges facing us.

In this context, this article takes a deep look at how advanced technology can be used to solve the problem of increasing traffic and traffic signal chaos in our large cities, and how artificial intelligence can provide an innovative and effective solution to this problem.

Smart traffic lights regulate traffic

An AI-powered smart traffic light system is a step towards improving pedestrian safety at road intersections

The system uses artificial intelligence technologies to recognize pedestrians as they cross and walk through the lanes designated for them. In the event that pedestrians fail to cross the intersection during the green traffic light period, the system automatically extends the pedestrian light time by 5 to 10 seconds , which allows sensitive groups such as children and the elderly. People with special needs can complete the process of crossing the street safely. This program also aims to protect pedestrians from the dangers resulting from changes in traffic lights during the crossing process.

Smart traffic lights that communicate with cars to overcome traffic

The smart traffic lights will be powered by artificial intelligence technologies to monitor speed and congestion levels on the roads, with a focus on prioritizing traffic, including giving preference to ambulances using a green light signal. This technology will also rely on heat maps to analyze the pattern of pedestrian and driver use on the roads.

Cities have adopted this innovative technology

The city of Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom intends to be one of the first cities to host this innovative project, where around 2,500 sensors will be installed to control major road intersections and parking areas, with a focus on improving traffic flow.

Smart signals are equipped with cameras that determine traffic priorities for different categories, such as bicycles, buses, and ambulances, and give green lights according to the priorities set. In addition, these signals can interact with self-driving cars and send warning signals as pedestrians cross, which contributes to enhancing pedestrian safety and improving traffic flow. the traffic.
