Adaptive Traffic Signals for Extreme Weather Events

Our project aims to revolutionize how cities respond to extreme weather events—such as heatwaves, wildfire smoke, and flooding—through the installation of smart traffic lights. These aren't just any traffic signals; they're enhanced with real-time weather data and AI algorithms, allowing them to adjust dynamically to ensure optimal traffic flow, reduce congestion, and minimize emissions during these challenging times. By improving traffic management, we also aim to significantly improve emergency response times, enhancing public safety when it matters most.

Initially piloted in a major Canadian city—be it Vancouver, Edmonton, or Montreal—the project's success will be meticulously evaluated against key indicators. These include reductions in traffic congestion times, lowered emissions, and quicker emergency response times. By demonstrating tangible benefits, our goal is to inspire wider adoption across cities globally, setting a new standard for adaptive urban infrastructure that's smarter, safer, and more sustainable.
