Google's AI-Based Traffic Control System Claims To Cut Down Delays By 20 Per Cent

Google is spearheading smart readiness by using artificial intelligence to optimise traffic signals in hopes of reducing waiting time and inconsistencies. Tested at four traffic locations in Israel, the AI assisted traffic control was able to cut down delays by 10 - 20 per cent. On Wednesday, Alphabet Inc's Google announced plans to deploy the software in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Tested at four traffic locations in Israel, the AI assisted traffic control was able to cut down delays by 10 - 20 per cent. On Wednesday, Alphabet Inc's Google announced plans to deploy the software in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Currently, Google is facing pressure from both government entities and internal employees to do more in terms of combating climate change.

The world's third most valuable company is in a tight spot, being forced to address climate change on a bigger level. Recently, advocacy groups urged Google to stop selling its technology to oil companies and to politicians who discredit climate change as a hoax.

Google and climate change

Google is also dipping its feet in numerous projects aimed at highlighting climate change. Now, a fresh set of panels on the Google Maps application will display emissions shed by flights and the general rating of each flight in terms of environmental damage in the United States.

To limit the spread of climate change-related misinformation, Google is offering explanations in English, Spanish and French to all queries on its platform this month. The explanation for climate change will reflect the words of the United Nations.

It's still unclear how Google will roll out its technology, with no experience in traffic management and control. Even then, it should be an exciting experiment to witness

AI optimization of traffic.
