The article from Railway Technology discusses how MTR Corporation, in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has developed a smart traffic management system that won the Best Smart Mobility (Transport) award at the ICT Awards 2023. This system integrates real-time data from various sources including MTR's own operations, public transport, and road traffic to optimize train schedules and enhance passenger flow. The technology uses AI and big data analytics to predict and manage crowd levels, reduce congestion, and improve overall transport efficiency in Hong Kong. The initiative not only aims to improve the commuting experience but also contributes to the broader goal of creating a smarter city through advanced ICT solutions.
