From AME Info:
A smart traffic system is going to be installed in Dubai. It will consist of cameras, sensors, and electronic signboards. The motivation is that this system should initially reduce traffic congestion by 15%. The article states that in other countries these systems have reduced traffic jams by 30%. Here is one very cool application of smart systems:
To ensure that emergency vehicles like ambulances reach accident sites in the least possible time, the Smart Traffic System will detect the presence of such vehicles and inform the center that controls traffic signals, which will time the automatic signals in a way that will give priority to emergency vehicles.
