Some of the busiest road junctions in Cambridge are to be used in trials of AI traffic signals in an attempt to reduce congestion and improve air quality.
The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) – consisting of the local city and county councils along with South Cambridgeshire District Council and the university – is funding the 12-month project to be run by Vivacity AI Labs.
It will investigate how camera based sensors and machine learning be used to optimise signals to improve traffic flow and reduce the emissions caused by idling vehicles.
This part of a wider package of measure to be discussed by the GCP board later this month.
Vivacity Labs’ AI traffic signal control is to be trialled at some of the busiest junctions in Cambridge to help cut congestion and improve air quality.

The Greater Cambridge Partnership-funded project forms a key part of a wider package of measures to be discussed by the GCP’s executive board later this month.
