Using AI to Fight Climate Change
With the steady advent evolution of technology, environmentalists have taken to adopting smart technologies to curb climate change.

The cutting of carbon emissions is instrumental in the fight to limit climate change. The same doctrine is applicable for all sectors of transport, city and traffic planning, and for the aviation industry. While more and more governmental bodies adopt smart technologies to fulfill the need for a sustainable ecosystem, let us look into how and why video analytics make all the difference.
Road traffic
Infrastructure anomalies
Look into vehicular pollution, typical passenger vehicle emits around 4.6 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. A major part of this number is attributable to congestion, poorly constructed roads and parking lots and idle time which is a result of traffic jam.
Searching for parking spots
Parking poses similar problems for climate neutrality. German drivers spend 41 hours per year looking for a parking spot.
Video Analytics as solution
Infrastructure anomalies
The use of AI in edge-based devices is a step up from ordinary surveillance, as the data is processed at the site of collection. The data, therefore, also reaches planners faster than it usually would, resulting in a quicker response time. Video analytics help planners differentiate between types of vehicles and create different lanes for different types. This limits congestion by keeping traffic from bottleneck-ing at a particular location. By implementing specific lanes, operators can also guarantee a better success rate for accident prevention.
Searching for parking spots
Video analytics can help resolve this problem to a great degree by using data-driven planning to ensure optimization and create neatly demarcated areas based on availability. The end result? Lower emissions.
Benefits for the future
The use of urban technology promises great results for the long term, too. Data, collected over the period of many months, can act as the foundational base for better roads, sustainable infrastructure and easy parking processes. It is not an exaggeration to ascertain that the power of AI can be harnessed to implement not just an efficient, climate-neutral transport system but also to improve the standard of living for citizens.
