EU Researchers Enhance Urban Flow With AI Innovations

European researchers are leveraging AI to enhance urban environments through an EU-funded initiative called AMIGOS, which aims to improve safety and sustainability in cities by analyzing pedestrian and traffic flows. This aligns with the EU's Cities Mission to support 112 cities in becoming climate-neutral by 2030. The concept of the Multimodal Metropolis is emerging, where AI-driven infrastructure creates responsive and efficient urban ecosystems, moving beyond traditional smart cities. In India, Ranchi Smart City has received recognition for its innovative use of AI in urban development, focusing on automatic number plate recognition to improve traffic management. Additionally, companies like Genesys International are developing digital twins of cities to assist urban planners in addressing challenges posed by rapid urbanization. Together, these initiatives highlight the transformative potential of AI and advanced technologies in reshaping urban living.
