Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in traffic management to solve the growing traffic congestion problem. NoTraffic, a start-up focusing on artificial intelligence traffic management, has made significant progress recently. Its advanced traffic management platform has been successfully deployed in Maryland and has demonstrated significant traffic optimization results. By combining hardware, artificial intelligence and edge computing technology, the platform achieves real-time intelligent control of traffic lights, effectively alleviates traffic congestion and improves road traffic efficiency and safety.
Artificial intelligence traffic management startup NoTraffic recently announced that it has signed a contract with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDoT) to deploy its advanced traffic management platform at the state’s congestion-prone intersections. The first deployment of the platform took place in Baltimore. After less than two months of testing, it was officially launched on October 17. It successfully dealt with problems such as "unexpected interruptions and re-routing" and alleviated the resulting traffic congestion.
Tel Aviv-based NoTraffic was awarded the statewide contract from the Maryland Department of Transportation through a partnership with Blackstar Diversified Enterprises, a traffic control and safety systems integrator. According to the company, the platform uses a combination of hardware, artificial intelligence and edge computing to install in less than two hours, transforming traditional signalized intersections into fully automated, cloud-connected transportation hubs.
The core component of the platform is a control unit mounted on a traffic light, which uses an artificial intelligence optimization engine called "Mobile OS" to analyze data from all traffic users on the road (such as cars, trucks, bicycles, public transport, emergency services vehicles and pedestrians). This data is collected, classified and anonymized using machine vision and radar, and then uploaded to the cloud for coordination and optimization of the city-wide network.
The platform can adjust signal duration in real time to alleviate traffic congestion and improve road safety. According to NoTraffic, the system has significantly improved traffic conditions in the Baltimore area by dynamically optimizing traffic flow.
In addition to its deployment in Maryland, NoTraffic's systems are already in use in more than 30 states including California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, and parts of Canada.
Tal Kreisler, CEO and co-founder of NoTraffic, said: "The approval from the Maryland Department of Transportation marks an important step in our mission to transform the field of traffic management. This deployment in Baltimore demonstrates how our technology can bring significant benefits. Traffic Management Benefits.”
Kreisler added: “As roads face additional challenges such as roadworks, traffic accidents and weather disruptions, having official support provides a solid foundation for our nationwide rollout of our adaptive mobility platform, ensuring communities across the country All will benefit from safer and more efficient transportation infrastructure.”
The successful deployment of NoTraffic in Maryland has set a good example for the promotion and application of its artificial intelligence traffic management platform, and also provided a new technical solution for alleviating global traffic congestion problems. It is believed that in the future, artificial intelligence technology will play a greater role in the field of traffic management, bringing a more convenient and safer travel experience.
