Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article proposes innovative solutions in the field of traffic management – smart traffic lights with computer vision, aimed at improving traffic flow in the large cities of Kazakhstan. With a growing number of vehicles and increasing traffic volume, the issues of congestion and delays at intersections have become increasingly relevant. The article reviews the operational principle of such smart traffic lights, which is based on analyzing computer vision data using sensors and cameras. The benefits of applying this technology, including responsiveness, efficiency, and environmental friendliness, are considered. Furthermore, the potential of smart traffic lights in major megacities of Kazakhstan, such as Astana and Almaty, is analyzed in detail. The conclusion supports the assessment of traffic flow, travel time, and an overall evaluation of the traffic situation. Ultimately, this article highlights the improved performance of smart traffic lights with computer vision coverage in modern cities of Kazakhstan, aiming to ensure higher traffic safety and efficiency.
