MADRID, 24 (EUROPA PRESS)
Toyota Mobility Foundation and the Alan Turing Institute collaborate on a project with which to transform the way cities are planned and managed, with traffic as their biggest problem, through Artificial Intelligence (AI).
According to the Japanese firm in a statement, the objective of this initiative is to "optimize the flow" of mobility systems through AI.
Three possible results of the investigation would be, according to Toyota, the integration of an AI system for the control of traffic lights; the construction of a platform for the manipulation of data and the establishment of mechanisms with which the operators of fleets and cities work together sharing data on traffic congestion or levels of pollution.
"Our vision is for city planners and operators to have a system that shows them data in real time, allows them to analyze how the city works and gives them an idea of ââwhen behavior patterns are changing. new technologies, transport patterns can now change drastically in a short time, and we hope that this will generate improvements in the health and mobility of the population, as well as safety and efficiency in traffic management, "said the executive director of the Alan Turing Institute.
For his part, the program director of the Toyota Mobility Foundation, Ryan Klem, explained that mobility is "fundamental" to promote social progress and improve lives around the world.
