A large-scale AI application hosted on Amazon Web Services predicts traffic conditions in Melbourne and aims to reduce delays in hotspots in the city.
A world first project launched today seeks to use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict traffic congestion up to three hours ahead, optimising traffic in large cities and improving road safety.
Transport engineering expert and AIMES director professor Majid Sarvi says the application can also optimise traffic signals for on-road vehicles, freight, and public transport such as buses and trams.
“The application observes the nature of traffic and figures out complex traffic patterns across the network through machine learning built into the technology”, Sarvi says.
