Smart Traffic Management is as important as Smart Transportations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about smart transportation, one of the most ground-breaking AI applications is always autonomous vehicles. More vehicles come to the city, traffic management, and safety much more matter to urban residents and the transportation department. Smart transportation refers to an intelligent integrated transportation system including but not limited to wireless communication, AI, and computer vision for enhancing smarter mobility. The online car shopping guide estimated that 15.2 million new cars will be sold in 2022<\/a>, representing a 1.2% increase from its 2021 vehicle sales. With more vehicles, another transportation problem that people face on a daily basis is traffic congestion. Congestion also leads to higher fuel consumption, air pollution, and unnecessary waste of time and energy. Traffic violations are the leading cause of road deaths. AI is now set to solve this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at Los Angeles, the city across the I-405 freeway, which was ranked as the 11th most congested roadway in the U.S<\/strong>. (Form 2021 Global Traffic Scorecard, INRIX<\/strong>. Actually I thought it was at least top 5?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I-405 Improvement Project partnered with Iteris<\/a> utilizing the intelligent transportation system (ITS) and 405 Express Lanes infrastructure design including changeable message signs, CCTV cameras, vehicle detection, ramp metering, and communications networks for both ITS and the Express Lanes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic management with Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The I-405 Improvement Project explains how ITS combines technology such as IoT and AI to help transportation mechanisms cooperate together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI integrated cameras that can ease the bottlenecks and chokepoints that often hinder traffic in our cities. Traffic congestion occurs mainly due to the neglect of certain factors, such as the distance between two moving vehicles, traffic lights, road signs, and pedestrians at the crossroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intelligent transportation system (ITS) is a major computer vision applied field, including vehicle classification, traffic violation detection, traffic flow analysis, parking lot detection, license plate recognition, pedestrian detection, traffic sign detection, collision avoidance, and road condition monitoring, and in-vehicle driver attention detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deploy Edge AI into our cities <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive into examples deploying NVIDIA Jetson-powered applications into smart cities utilizing fast training & deployment platforms and pertained models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
