Intelligent Traffic Management Systems To Help Save More Than 145 Million Metric Tons Of CO2 This Year
This figure will grow by 41% to 205 million in 2027, according to Juniper Research.
The implementation of intelligent traffic management systems will reduce CO2 emissions. This year Juniper Research predicts that these savings will amount to 145.7 million metric tons.
This figure will grow by 41% to 205 million metric tons in 2027. That same year, investment in smart intersections will reach $10.2 billion, compared to the $5.7 billion predicted for this year.
New solutions will boost connectivity between vehicles and the local road network ecosystem, in line with the government’s smart city initiatives.
Reducing congestion through optimized traffic control will, according to analysts, be the most influential factor in limiting pollution. Time spent in traffic is expected to decrease to about 36 hours per year per motorist five years from now.
This will be achieved using digital technologies and real-time data. 5G connectivity and machine learning algorithms will make their presence felt.
Cyber security will be another factor for the industry to consider, as systems handle user data and criminals will try to launch denial of service attacks to damage the smooth functioning of the infrastructure.
