Researchers at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) and Leicester University (LU) are using artificial intelligence and satellite data to help manage traffic patterns. The researchers will use information from Leicester’s Star Trak system, which tracks buses and feeds information on their status to passengers via electronic message boards at bus stops, to analyze traffic flow. “We are linking with the Star Trak scheme and using computational intelligence to make predictions about what the traffic situation will be like in the next half an hour to an hour,” says DMU professor David Elizondo. The researchers will use the data to create computer models that test how artificial intelligent systems control traffic lights. In addition, LU will provide earth-observation satellite data and environmental sensors to monitor air quality. “Bringing together air pollution measurements for space and sat-nav technology for intelligent journey planning is truly novel,” says LU professor Paul Monks.
