PositiveImpact
The implementation of Smart Traffic Management Systems (STMS) may ultimately lead to increased productivity in the workforce due to improved traffic flow, reducing time wasted in congestion. This efficiency can foster local businesses reliant on timely deliveries and customer access. Moreover, job creation can be seen in sectors such as tech, analytics, and traffic management maintenance, providing stable employment for future generations while also embedding smart infrastructure in urban planning.
NegativeImpact
While STMS may offer short-term congestion relief, it does not address the root causes of increased dependence on personal vehicles. Over time, this reliance could worsen urban sprawl and reduce investments in sustainable public transport options, creating generational infrastructure debt. This system could lead to potential data privacy concerns and increased investment in monitoring that detracts from other social programs. Additionally, if not paired with public transport incentives, it may inadvertently encourage further car usage instead of sustainable modes of transport.
