Phuket to Use AI to Tackle Traffic Congestion Amid Roadwork

Phuket plans to implement AI-driven adaptive traffic control to address worsening congestion, particularly during peak tourism periods. Inspired by Bangkok’s successful system, which improved travel times by 25%, the initiative will manage traffic lights based on real-time patterns. Proposed by Phuket Police during Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s visit, the project is pending budget approval. With tourism rising, officials emphasize public cooperation and adherence to traffic rules to ease congestion.
