MELAKA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Paya Rumput state seat, Datuk Azman Abidin, has proposed using artificial intelligence (AI) to coordinate traffic lights according to traffic density in the area.
He said the system could determine the number of vehicles and traffic flow at junctions, unlike existing systems that rely on sensors to detect passing vehicles.
“This is not a new concept, as several developed countries are already using this technology to manage traffic. A similar approach should be considered for Paya Rumput.
“It is also more affordable, as constructing flyovers or widening roads would involve high costs and take time,” he told Bernama.
