AI traffic management system expands into China with granting of new patent

Description

An innovative traffic management system, which uses artificial intelligence to optimise urban traffic flow, has expanded into more towns and cities, as well as being granted a patent for use in China.

The technology was developed by Simplifai Systems in collaboration with a team of leading experts in AI and transport, including the University of Huddersfield’s Professor Mauro Vallati and his AI4UTMC research team.

Professor Vallati, who is Director of the University’s Centre for Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (CAIS), and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, commented: “Our collaboration with Simplifai clearly demonstrates how research at the University can deliver tangible impact. Not only driving economic growth through new technologies and markets, but also improving the quality of life of people in urban environments. The granting of the patent opens the door to applying our research in entirely new contexts and at a truly global scale.”
