Toyota Mobility Foundation is collaborating with Alan Turing Institute to research into modernising city planning and traffic management with artificial intelligence.
The goal is to establish optimised dynamic systems that are managed in real-time across many types of mobility.
Potential outcomes of the collaboration include the integration of an AI system for traffic light control, an interactive data platform monitor and predict traffic behaviour and to find mechanisms for fleet operators and cities to work together.
“Our vision is that city planners and operators should have a system that shows them real-time data feeds, lets them analyse how the city is working, integrates mathematical and computer modelling as well as machine learning models so that they can test out scenarios, and gives them insight into when behaviour patterns are changing,” explained Alan Wilson, CEO of The Alan Turing Institute and lead researcher.
“While there has been significant focus on AI inside the vehicle, we are excited for the opportunity to work with the Turing to bring data science and AI to a complementing facet of mobility
