Initiative overview
The AI for Traffic Management Pilot Project seeks to modernise Malta’s transport systems by embedding AI technologies into traffic lights and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The initiative is designed to make traffic management more efficient, sustainable, and data-driven.
Key objectives of the pilot project include:
- Reducing traffic congestion and vehicle emissions to improve urban mobility and environmental outcomes
- Identifying patterns in transport behaviours to better understand traffic flows and commuter habits
- Supporting intelligent journey planning and the scheduling of public transport services
- Assisting with traffic monitoring, policing, and enforcement to improve road safety and compliance
The project involves collaboration between government transport authorities, urban planners, and technology providers, ensuring AI solutions are aligned with real-world traffic management needs. By leveraging AI insights, Malta aims to make its urban transport system more efficient, responsive, and sustainable.
