Cloud computing company Alibaba Cloud has partnered with Sena Traffic Systems to build smart traffic system in Malaysia which it claims could reduce travel time by 12%.

Selina Yuan, president of Alibaba, says: "The smart traffic solution will constantly learn and adapt to changing traffic environments, making the traffic management system a smart learning platform and no longer just an analytic tool."

Alibaba is to provide its cloud computing resources and City Brain, a solution which uses real-time city data to help correct defects in urban operations. Sena, a smart traffic system controller, will be responsible for the design and development of traffic light systems and the installation of its patented algorithm for the city traffic light system

Dato’ Tan Boon Hock, managing director of Sena, says the partners are “looking at exploring developments in several intelligent digital platforms for urban management systems such as street furniture controllers, IoT and smart city enterprise management together”.
