Alibaba cloud to provide traffic management solutions to Hangzhou Government

China: Alibaba cloud (Alicloud), a subsidiary of e-commerce giant Alibaba group, will provide artificial intelligence technology in predicting real time traffic to alleviate road congestion in collaboration with Hangzhou government.

Under ‘Hangzhou City Brain’ plan, Alicloud will provide real time traffic recommendations and re-route travelling routes based on video and image recognition technology using big data collected through real-time traffic.

Adjustment of traffic light turns out be one of the most prominent feature of the smart traffic management system wherein a green light will automatically extend when system detects heavy congestions of vehicle on any particular road.    

TechSci depicts that increase usage of smart traffic management solution which uses artificial intelligence to analyze big data collected through real-time traffic, would help civic authorities across the globe to improve traffic and other aspects of urban living.

According to the recent published by TechSci Research “Global Traffic Management Market By Transportation Mode, By System Type, By Region, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011-2021”, global traffic management market is projected to surpass US $ 22 billion by 2021. In 2015, North America was the leading regional market for traffic management due to implementation of stringent government initiatives supporting use of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), growing need to reduce traffic congestion and accidents, coupled with increasing utilization of traffic data for traffic control in real-time. On account of rising population, growing demand for public transit vehicles, surging automobile sales, and rising demand for air travel, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness fastest growth in its traffic management market during the forecast period.
