Since 2019, Taipei's Traffic Control Engineering Office has run two AI-linked signal schemes in select districts: "dynamic" signals recomputing timing from flow detectors every five minutes (10-13% faster travel, 13-14.5% less delay in the city's own 2019-2020 data), and "responsive" signals using AI cameras to hold side-road reds until traffic appears.
