The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has launched a smart traffic management system powered by artificial intelligence. The system uses cameras and sensors to monitor traffic flow and adjust traffic signals in real-time.
Key features include:
- Real-time traffic monitoring
- Adaptive traffic signal timing
- Emergency vehicle priority system
- Traffic violation detection
- Data analytics for planning
Since the pilot launch, congestion at major intersections has reduced by 30%, and average commute times have improved by 25%. The system is being expanded to cover 100 intersections across Accra.
The Department of Urban Roads plans to extend the system to Kumasi and Takoradi by 2025.
