PositiveImpact The implementation of Smart Traffic Management Systems (STMS) could lead to improved traffic flow on the A1 motorway, resulting in reduced journey times and increased transport efficiency. Over five years, this technology could create a culture of smart, data-driven decisions in transportation, contributing to sustainable urban mobility and potentially reducing emissions from idling vehicles in traffic jams. It could also indirectly encourage innovations in other urban transport policies and enhance public acceptance of technology use in city infrastructure improvements.

NegativeImpact Despite the initial improvements, STMS might face limitations in significantly alleviating congestion if the primary issue remains an unsustainable reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Furthermore, if the technology does not fully integrate with existing transport systems or is not well communicated to the public, its effectiveness could diminish. This may result in unfulfilled expectations leading to public discontent and loss of trust in future technological initiatives. Additionally, without concurrent investment in alternative transport options, the long-term societal dependency on cars could persist, undermining the sustainability goals.
