Traffic is increasing all over the world. But what if an intelligent system could automatically coordinate our roads? We could sleep longer, spend less time in traffic-jams, save money, and would all be more relaxed at work and in life in general. At the 2013 Cannes Future Lions competition, IBM announced the “Project Accel” project which earned them one of the five awards of the AKQA Future Lions contest.
Project Accel is a mobile app which connects all the other motorcycles, cars and further motor-enabled vehicles around your region. It automatically offers navigation guidance and enables you to find the most efficient route to get you to work or just your friends in time. Furthermore, it is an intelligent learning system that monitors you and the other people with their motors on the street to understand the traffic development and get better and better.
What do you think? Big brother or fantastic project?
