2019 Tainan City Transportation Corridor Congestion Improvement Project - Smart Dynamic Traffic Signal System in a Regional Street Network
Solution Description
Since Tainan’s old town area was developed earlier, its narrow streets constantly turn this zone into a traffic congestion hotspot. This project aims to deploy a regional smart dynamic traffic signal system within the old town area. Travel time data from Google and image data from CCTVs with AI image recognition functions allow the system to immediately determine the current level of traffic congestion on the roads. Dynamic traffic signal schemes are then deployed accordingly. This significantly reduces travel time in different road sections and improves road operation efficiency.
