Presenting TRALICO at the EIG CONCERT-Japan Kick Off Workshop

Our departmental colleagues Vilmos Simon, Árpád Huszák and Bereczki Norman, as well as Ismail Arai, a researcher from our Japanese partner, the NAIST, presented the TRALICO (Multi-Input Deep Learning for Congestion Prediction and Traffic Light Control) project at the EIG CONCERT-Japan Kick Off Workshop in Prague, with presentation and poster.

Our department’s MEDIANETS lab, together with partners Nara Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) and Istanbul IT and Smart City Technologies Inc. (Turkey), are developing solutions that can predict future traffic intensity and emerging traffic congestion using artificial intelligence. These predictions will be used to intervene in the control of traffic lights in real time, adjusting them to the predicted traffic characteristics, reducing travel time and emissions.

Our colleagues’ participation at the TRALICO project meeting

Our departmental colleagues Vilmos Simon, Árpád Huszák and Norman Bereczki participated in the meeting of the TRALICO (Multi-Input Deep Learning for Congestion Prediction and Traffic Light Control) project in Istanbul, holding discussions with their consortium partners, the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) and the ISBAK – Istanbul IT and Smart City Technologies Inc. (Turkey).

They visited the research and development center of ISBAK and the traffic control center of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, where the traffic of 16 million people is monitored and managed every day. Together with their partners, they develop solutions based on artificial intelligence to predict future traffic intensity and emerging traffic congestions. These predictions will be used to intervene by traffic lights control in real time, adjusting the programs to the predicted traffic characteristics, reducing travel time and emissions.
