A new trial of AI-powered traffic lights is underway in Solihull, UK, aiming to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians while encouraging active travel. Developed by VivaCity, the system utilizes advanced sensors to detect cyclists from up to 30 meters away, automatically turning traffic lights red for motorists and green for cyclists and pedestrians. Mayor Richard Parker emphasized the project's potential to enhance road safety and promote cycling as a healthier alternative to cars. The initiative, supported by Transport for West Midlands and Solihull Council, seeks to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. If successful, it could set a new standard for urban traffic management across the UK. The pilot project reflects a broader trend towards integrating AI technology into urban mobility solutions.
