Tokat implements AI-driven systems for urban management

The Tokat Governorate, Tokat Municipality, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University, and the Artificial Intelligence Policies Association (AİPA) held the “Anatolian Meetings in Artificial Intelligence” program in Tokat, Turkey. The event brought together academics, industry representatives, and students to discuss the transformative role of AI in sectors such as industry, agriculture, education, and health.

Tokat Mayor Mehmet Kemal Yazıcıoğlu announced the completion of an AI-supported Coordination Center designed to manage city infrastructure from a single hub. This system will monitor traffic, water networks, parks, and municipal teams to accelerate response times and improve resource efficiency.

A key feature of the new urban management plan includes AI-supported traffic control. Cameras at major intersections will monitor vehicle density in real time, allowing traffic lights to adjust green light durations automatically to reduce congestion during peak hours.
