Al-Khobar adopts smart traffic signals without human intervention.

The relevant authorities in Al-Khobar Governorate have announced the launch of an advanced traffic system that uses artificial intelligence technologies to manage traffic flow automatically. The new system analyzes traffic density on the streets in real time and then adjusts traffic light timing to achieve the best possible flow and reduce congestion. This project is a step forward toward the concept of smart cities that use technology to serve residents and improve the quality of daily transportation. The system is characterized by its ability to learn from traffic patterns and automatically adjust its decisions according to changing conditions, such as rush hours or emergency incidents. It also contributes to reducing fuel consumption and pollution levels caused by long vehicle stops. The municipality plans to expand the experiment to additional areas in the coming period, linking it to public transport systems to enhance the overall efficiency of the transportation network.
