Google's Solutions for Sustainable Transportation

TLDRGoogle is using AI to optimize traffic lights in cities, reducing emissions and improving traffic flow. This technology, called Project Green Light, is already being used in 12 cities globally, with plans for further expansion in 2024.

Key insights

🚦Project Green Light uses AI to optimize traffic lights, reducing emissions and improving traffic flow in cities.

🌍Green Light creates 'green corridors' with waves of synchronized green lights at multiple intersections, reducing stop-and-go traffic and emissions.

🚗The AI-based recommendations of Green Light work with existing infrastructure, making it scalable and cost-effective for cities.

🌇City engineers can monitor the impact and see results within weeks, improving traffic conditions for residents.

📈Google plans to expand Project Green Light to more cities globally in 2024, further reducing emissions and improving sustainable transportation.
