NoTraffic Revolutionizes Traffic Management with NVIDIA AI and Accelerated Computing
NoTraffic has reduced traffic congestion and carbon emissions globally by harnessing NVIDIA's accelerated computing and edge AI platforms. The current state of traffic management is inefficient, with 99% of world traffic signals operating on fixed timing plans. NoTraffic's AI Mobility platform predicts road scenarios, optimizes traffic flow, minimizes stops at intersections, and ensures safety. The platform can adapt to real-time changes in traffic patterns and volumes, improving transportation efficiency and safety. Tucson drivers have seen a 46% reduction in road delays during rush hours, freeing them from over 1.25 million hours stuck in traffic. The UBC experience saw a 40% reduction in pedestrian delays and significant decreases in vehicle wait time, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. NoTraffic has expanded to over 200 agencies across the US and Canada, reducing traffic congestion, accidents, and carbon emissions. The company estimates that for every city optimized with this platform, the total economic savings could reach up to $14 billion per year.
NoTraffic, a cutting-edge startup member of the NVIDIA Inception program for innovative startups and the NVIDIA Metropolis vision AI ecosystem, has made significant strides in reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions across the globe. By harnessing the power of NVIDIA's accelerated computing and edge AI platforms, NoTraffic's AI Mobility platform is revolutionizing traffic management, making cities safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.
According to NoTraffic, the current state of traffic management is marred by inefficiencies, with 99% of the world's traffic signals operating on fixed timing plans. This leads to unnecessary congestion, car accidents, and a substantial increase in carbon emissions from vehicles. To address these challenges, NoTraffic has developed an AI-powered platform that predicts road scenarios, optimizes traffic flow, minimizes stops at intersections, and ensures safety.
NoTraffic's AI Mobility platform integrates NVIDIA-powered software and hardware at the edge, under a cloud-based operating system, leveraging the power of the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform. This powerful combination enables real-time analysis of sensor inputs from multiple intersections, analyzing numerous traffic scenarios up to two minutes in advance. The platform can adapt to real-time changes in traffic patterns and volumes, sending messages between intersections and running optimization algorithms that control traffic signals to improve overall transportation efficiency and safety.
The results are impressive: with over 80 intersections tapping into the NoTraffic AI Mobility platform in Tucson, Arizona, drivers have seen a reduction of up to 46% in road delays during rush hours, with peak queue lengths reduced by half a mile. This has freed Tucson drivers from over 1.25 million hours stuck in traffic, resulting in an economic benefit of over $24.3 million. The company estimates that for every city optimized with this platform, eight hours of traffic time could be saved per driver.
In Vancouver, Canada, the University of British Columbia (UBC) is using NoTraffic's platform alongside Rogers Communications' 5G-connected AI-enabled smart-traffic system to reduce both pedestrian delays and greenhouse gas emissions. The UBC experience saw an up to 40% reduction in pedestrian delays and significant decreases in vehicle wait time. Thanks to NoTraffic's platform, the university reduces 74 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
The impact is felt across the United States and Canada, with over 200 agencies deploying NoTraffic's AI Mobility platform across 35 states and numerous cities. This expansion has led to a reduction in traffic congestion, car accidents, and carbon emissions from vehicles, resulting in significant economic savings for drivers.
NoTraffic estimates that for every city optimized with this platform, the total economic savings could reach up to $14 billion per year, thanks to reduced traffic time and lower carbon emissions. By harnessing the power of NVIDIA's accelerated computing and edge AI platforms, NoTraffic is making a significant impact on the world of traffic management.
In conclusion, NoTraffic's innovative use of NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing has revolutionized traffic management, reducing congestion, accidents, and carbon emissions across the globe. The company's commitment to using cutting-edge technology to create safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly cities is an inspiration for urban planners, policymakers, and innovators around the world.
