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.
