Smart Traffic Lights: Object Detection for Flow

Smart traffic lights are revolutionizing urban mobility by using real-time object detection to classify cars, bikes and pedestrians in milliseconds. By feeding live camera feeds into an AI controller — powered by a cloud-based Object Detection API — cities can dynamically adjust signal timing, cutting vehicle idle time by up to 30 %. The result? Smoother commutes, lower emissions and safer crossings — all without tearing up asphalt for traditional inductive loops.
