New York City has deployed a cutting-edge AI traffic management system to reduce congestion and improve road safety. The system uses real-time data from cameras and sensors to adjust traffic lights, redirect flows, and alert emergency services.
The pilot project, launched in Manhattan, has already reduced peak-hour congestion by 12%. Mayor Eric Adams stated, “Smart cities are no longer futuristic—they’re essential. This AI system is saving time and lives.”
With traffic congestion a shared urban issue globally, similar AI-driven systems are being explored in Delhi, Dhaka, and Kathmandu. Urban planners across South Asia are closely monitoring the outcomes, seeing potential for scalable solutions in densely populated cities.
