Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI), traveling from one place to another could soon become faster.

Are Artificial Intelligence Traffic Lights the Future of Efficient Commuting?

A new study from Germany says traffic lights that use AI technology could help traffic flow more smoothly. It’s part of a growing number of developments in AI-powered transportation solutions.

“Everyday users can plan their trips to avoid times or locations with high traffic,” Bilin Aksun-Güvenç, a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University and an IEEE member who studies smart transportation systems, told Lifewire in an email interview. “It will be easier to find a parking spot whose location is as close as possible to the user’s final destination.”

Commuting to and from work can be a nightmare as cars move slowly in stop-and-go traffic. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany want to change that with their “KI4LSA” project, which uses artificial intelligence to enable smart, predictive light switching.
