Raleighs Innovative Traffic Solution: AI-Powered Cameras for Smarter IntersectionsRaleigh is implementing a cutting-edge AI system using existing traffic cameras to alleviate congestion at bustling downtown intersections. The city, now home to over 500,000 residents, is leveraging this technology to optimize signal timings in real-time, enhancing safety for all road users without the need for road expansion.The system employs computer vision software to analyze live video footage, providing data on traffic volumes, turns, and travel modes. This replaces manual counts, reducing workload and enabling swift adjustments to signals during peak hours.City transportation leaders are enthusiastic about the pilot, citing its efficiency in managing bottlenecks, delaying costly road widening projects, and freeing up funds for other initiatives. The system, which initially focused on vehicles, has been expanded to include pedestrians and cyclists in high-traffic areas, visualized through a detailed 3D digital twin of the city.Privacy is a priority, with no stored video or personal information. Data is collected in fifteen-minute chunks and reviewed by humans before any changes are made. The system has been validated in over a dozen tests and also aids police and emergency services during crises. Checkout Solipillow.com
