Toronto will use AI software to reduce congestion

Toronto city council has approved an updated traffic congestion management plan, which includes calls for hiking certain traffic fines and a pilot project for using new AI technology. Nick Westoll reports.

As part of that direction, officials with Rogers Communications—the parent company of CityNews—said the company, in partnership with NoTraffic, is installing a 5G-driven artificial intelligence system at five intersections. The cameras will be on University Avenue and York Street at Adelaide Street West, King Street West, Wellington Street West, Front Street West, and Bremner Boulevard.

The system will capture real-time data about traffic volumes, speeds and congestion levels at the intersections.

The pilot project will begin with a months-long phase focusing on data collection. The City of Toronto will then use the AI software to determine what improvements could be made to help ease congestion at the intersections. Rogers staff said the technology would eventually be able to analyze and manage traffic in real-time, including through AI-powered traffic signal adjustments.

During a visit to University Avenue and Adelaide Street West on Thursday, Dayal explained the cameras anonymize faces and capture vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. He said the only data captured is how people are travelling.

“Having that bird’s eye view of the intersection, you can have a real appreciation of the conditions in real-time,” Dayal told CityNews.

“What happens is these (traffic signals) are on a fixed timeline and now what you have the ability to do is to control the intersections more dynamically.

“The idea here is being able to monitor what’s happening in the intersection … to adjust to where the queueing is happening, or where the traffic is flowing from, will obviously then give you an opportunity to improve the idle time which obviously is contributing to loss of productivity, but also greenhouse gases.”

Nothing beats video data than from a fleet of public transportation vehicles going around major traffic routes on a regular frequency. Cameras mounted on TTC vehicles providing a video stream for analysis would be idea. They would also provide ALE and stop violations as a deterrent to motorists. Who could provide such a solution? What is the status of the TTC trials that took place a few years ago ...more

there was an article a couple weeks back, not sure if I posted it, but the idea was to have the camera's on buses using bus only lanes being able to pick up a green traffic light ahead and then send a signal to them to stay green an extra couple seconds so the bus would not have to stop. The benefit would be faster trips and less fuel used and less wear on bus componets. So in theory the ALE ...more
