PositiveImpact Smart Traffic Management Systems (STMS) have the potential to significantly reduce emissions from vehicles by optimizing traffic flow, leading to decreased idling times and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, through improved efficiency in traffic management, STMS could encourage the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, further reducing carbon footprints and promoting cleaner transport options for future generations.

NegativeImpact However, relying solely on STMS without accompanying policies may lead to an increase in vehicle numbers due to induced demand, as reduced congestion can incentivize more people to drive. This paradox can exacerbate emissions in the long run, and failure to invest in other sustainable transport options could create a dependency on car usage, ultimately leading to higher overall emissions.
