NEC Corporation has developed an optical fiber sensing technology to monitor road conditions and accurately predict sudden traffic congestion in real time. By collecting data from existing optical fiber communications cables and analyzing real-time traffic flow data using a proprietary AI model, the researchers have reduced prediction errors by 80% compared to conventional methods.
This technology enables effective traffic control, including the arrangement of detour routes, thereby contributing to the resolution of societal challenges such as logistics issues and CO2 emissions.
