New traffic system using artificial intelligence
Hopefully you notice a shorter commute, but you might not notice why. "If you are looking closely, you can probably see the fisheye camera, but other than that it'll look like all the other intersections," said Pima County Department of Transportation's Assistant Division Manager of Maintenance and Operations Michelle Montagnino. The new system will use cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence to better estimate traffic volumes, arrivals on red and side-street delays. But she says privacy issues are not a concern. "Maybe you can make out a make and a color, definitely not a model, you're not going to tell license plate information, driver, or any of that information," she said.
