L’IA en renfort pour lutter contre la congestion routière

Toronto is implementing AI-powered traffic lights to reduce road congestion, adapting signal durations based on real-time traffic conditions, bus presence, pedestrians, and cyclists. These smart signals have shown to be particularly effective in suburban areas, enhancing traffic flow and safety. However, experts warn that AI technology alone will not solve the city's congestion problem, which stems from a structural imbalance between road capacity and vehicle demand. A holistic approach, combining technology, infrastructure development, and behavioral changes, is necessary to address the issue fully.
