Department for Transport looks up to AI to end holiday jams

#artificialintelligence

The UK Department for Transport is planning to make use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future to end holiday jams resulting from roadworks. Navigational apps powered by the disruptive technology, which will be developed to implement the same, are expected to help drivers to plan their trips. The apps are expected to give drivers the confidence to plan their key trips without the fear of getting stuck in traffic, apart from reducing congestion, delays and air pollution. The department said that the government will be opening up data on planned changes to the road network, showcasing possible traffic jams up to months in advance. This change in policy is expected to help motorists enjoy quicker and easier getaways on bank holidays in the near future.
