The system uses real-time data from cameras, inductive loops, and connected vehicle signals to dynamically adjust traffic light timing across the network, prioritising public transport and emergency vehicles while smoothing private traffic flow.

The city's transport department said the rollout will be completed by year end and is expected to generate measurable reductions in vehicle emissions in areas currently exceeding air quality limits.
