A “smart” transport monitoring system developed by a joint academic-business team has helped reduce traffic jams around Hsinchu, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) said yesterday.

The team, whose members come from Academia Sinica’s Institute of Information Science, National Taiwan Ocean University and Elan Microelectronics Corp, discussed the potential applications of their system at a news conference at the ministry in Taipei.

The team was put together by National Taiwan University’s Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Advanced Robotics — one of the four AI research centers the ministry has set up — to explore applications of machine deep learning in tackling multimedia data, institute director Mark Liao (廖弘源) said.

The research is guided by proposals from Elan.    [FULL  STORY]
