We are very excited to announce the launch of AI MOVE – Public Transport Prioritization For All, a new project that brings a whole new perspective on public transport in cities. In cooperation with our partners ITC – Intelligent Traffic Control Ltd., the City of Říčany, CityZone and PowerHUB, we are launching an innovative solution that uses AI and CCTV to optimise traffic and prioritise public transport vehicles in urban traffic.
What are we solving?
Everyday traffic jams, late buses, dangerous crossings. Known problems for which we have found a concrete answer: smart prioritisation of public transport using existing infrastructure.
Using AI analysis from camera systems, the project detects the movement of buses, trams and pedestrians and can adjust traffic management in real time – from traffic lights to routing.
The result? Smoother traffic, shorter waits, fewer accidents, and cleaner air.
Key benefits
- Speeding up public transport: shorter waiting times by prioritising public transport vehicles at intersections
- Improved safety: lower risk of accidents at bus stops thanks to synchronisation of vehicle and pedestrian data
- Lower emissions: smoother traffic means less CO₂ in cities
- Lower costs: using existing cameras without the need for large investments
- Data for decision-making: cities gain valuable data for further transport planning
Why is this important?
Public transport is the backbone of sustainable urban mobility. But for people to use it, it must be fast, reliable, and safe.
AI MOVE meets these needs – not only for passengers, but also for cities looking for smart solutions without the need for massive investment in new infrastructure.
Our vision
The project is fully aligned with the strategic objectives of EIT Urban Mobility – supporting the green transformation of cities, increasing the efficiency of urban logistics, and improving the daily lives of citizens.
Pilot testing will take place in Czech cities, with the results serving as a model for other European locations.
We believe that this combination of technology, data, and collaboration between cities and experts is the key to smarter, safer, and more sustainable cities. And we are proud to be part of it.
