PositiveImpact By implementing Smart Traffic Management Systems (STMS), Switzerland can significantly reduce carbon emissions associated with traffic congestion. This improvement in traffic flow can lead to less idling and more efficient fuel usage, contributing to cleaner air and a decrease in greenhouse gases over the long term. Additionally, a more efficient transportation network supports the transition to electric vehicles, further bolstering emissions reduction efforts. STMS may also pave the way for future investments in sustainable infrastructure and technologies, laying the groundwork for a resilient energy system.

NegativeImpact While STMS presents opportunities for emissions reduction, its reliance on technology could lead to unforeseen consequences such as an increased number of vehicles on the road or inefficient adaptation by users. Should the system fail to achieve intended efficiency gains, congestion could worsen, leading to higher emissions. Furthermore, as this system might not incentivize a shift away from car dependency, it could perpetuate reliance on fossil fuels rather than promote a greener public transport paradigm.
