How can traffic be managed more effectively with the help of artificial intelligence? This is now to be tested as an example in the very different cities in the southwest and east.

In the two cities of Landau and Leipzig, traffic control is to be tested with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). This is taking place as part of a research project called AIAMO - which stands for Artificial Intelligence and Mobility - funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport with a total of 16.7 million euros. Landau in Rhineland-Palatinate and Leipzig in Saxony have been selected as model cities for this project, the ministry announced in Berlin.

The growing city of Leipzig with more than 600,000 inhabitants and the medium-sized university town of Landau with around 37,000 commuters offer the ideal environment to test solutions for very different municipalities, the ministry explained.

The goal is a good database for practical use

The project uses AI to analyze mobility data. The aim is to create a database to develop practical applications. These could be intelligent guidance systems that react quickly to redirect traffic flows, or mobility apps that take into account public transport, sharing services such as e-scooters or bikes and cycle paths for possible routes.

Another possible application would be an environmental data monitoring network that collects and processes data on air quality and exhaust emissions to support municipal decisions. A data monitoring network with 50 stations is being set up in Leipzig for the research project, while in Landau existing systems on central traffic routes are being used.
