Meet the startup on a critical mission to eliminate traffic congestion
ILYAS is a comprehensive and highly effective 5G traffic detection system that is part of a larger traffic engineering trend which aims to solve traffic congestion
Traffic congestion costs businesses billions of dollars a year. Every major city and even some smaller cities suffer from frustrating and time-consuming traffic jams and congestion. Los Angeles loses a whopping $19.2 billion a year through the direct and indirect costs of traffic congestion.
In Los Angeles, New York, Moscow, London and Paris, drivers spend 102, 91, 91, 74 and 69 hours, respectively, stuck in traffic each year. That’s well over two weeks a year doing nothing but wasting time and fuel.
ILYAS traffic management in ‘smart cities’
ILYAS is a startup is looking to expand beyond simple car counting and instead intends to become the ‘go to’ traffic management system for what are commonly called ‘smart cities’.
We are currently developing software to create mapping and navigation services, while constantly collecting traffic data.
The company is gradually introducing several technologies which are being combined into one system, that will connect switchboards at each road intersection to a cloud system that will enable streetlights to communicate with each other and respond to traffic volumes, all in real time. In simple terms, rather than traffic lights dictating how traffic flows, the volume of traffic will dictate traffic light sequences.
