Singapore Advances Smart City Project with New AI Traffic System

Singapore launched a new AI-powered traffic management system today as part of its ongoing smart city initiatives. The system uses real-time data from over 10,000 sensors across the city to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion by up to 20%, according to Bloomberg. This implementation aims to improve urban mobility and lower carbon emissions by managing traffic lights dynamically and providing instant rerouting suggestions to drivers. The project is part of Singapore’s Smart Nation plan, which has invested over $2 billion since 2019 to integrate technology into urban infrastructure. Officials expect the system to be fully operational by the end of 2026, setting a benchmark for smart city projects worldwide.
