Some main data points are speed of vehicles, volume of traffic, time of day among a multitude of other data entry points. Once the data is organized and compiled in a pertinent way, AI powered programs are able to predict patterns and create models to improve traffic flow at peak hours and offer a smoother ride to daily commuters.
