The hallmark of a modern city lies not only in the efficiency of its daily operations, but also in its resilience in the face of emergencies. The deep integration of autonomous driving and intelligent transportation will fundamentally enhance the responsiveness of urban transportation systems, transforming them from passive and fragile systems into proactive, self-healing organisms.
Imagine this scenario: When a serious accident occurs on a major thoroughfare, nearby autonomous vehicles immediately upload firsthand data, including the precise location and video footage, to the ITS platform. The platform's AI analyzes the data within milliseconds and immediately activates contingency plans: automatically guiding traffic behind the vehicles to alternative routes, adjusting the timing of traffic signals throughout the city to manage congestion, and creating a clear "green lane" for autonomous ambulances…
