Smart traffic lights which 'turn green for cyclists' to be installed on 25 Leeds roads

Leeds roads are getting 'smart signal controls' with artificial intelligence for detecting traffic, across 25 sites to tackle congestion.

Leeds City Council has announced plans to install 'Smart Signal Control: AI for Detection'. ‘AI for Detection’, made by VivaCity, enables junctions to operate more efficiently by responding to real-time demand.

It allows optimisation for active travel road users and the setting of multiple detection zones. In addition, ‘AI for Detection’ offers a wide range of traffic monitoring datasets. These include vehicle paths, classified counts of a range of transport types, including e-scooters, pedestrians, cyclists and buses, - anonymous journey time data, and speed insights.
