Google is working on a project to address traffic density in city centers and the resulting carbon emissions. The project, called “Project Green Light,” has already started to show its impact.
The US-based technology giant, known for offering numerous solutions to traffic problems through its Maps service, is now working on a new initiative designed to benefit city planners. “Project Green Light” aims to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions by optimizing traffic lights in cities using Maps and artificial intelligence. The project has already begun to bear fruit in the regions where it has been tested.
Google has developed a special artificial intelligence model for Project Green Light. This AI model analyzes various traffic situations and provides recommendations for alleviating congestion and reducing emissions. Based on these recommendations, city and urban planning experts implement various measures in the areas under their control.
Fuel consumption and carbon emissions of 30 million cars have been reduced!
Google’s new technology has been tested in over 12 cities, including Rio de Janeiro, Seattle, Bengaluru, and Boston. The artificial intelligence generated specific recommendations for each region, and the authorities implemented these suggestions. The evaluations revealed that the fuel consumption and carbon emissions of over 30 million vehicles decreased. To be more specific, unnecessary stops at intersections were reduced by up to 30 percent, and emissions dropped by up to 10 percent due to the AI recommendations.
Project Green Light, which is still in its early stages, is expected to be used in many more regions in the coming years. Google aims to support hundreds of countries and tens of thousands of intersections with artificial intelligence within a few years. If this project spreads globally, it seems that people will be able to enjoy a more comfortable driving experience and breathe cleaner air.
