The I. Razzakov Kyrgyz State Technical University, the Bishkek Mayor's Office Digital Technology Center, and the local startup Doroga have signed a memorandum of cooperation. The partnership aims to digitally develop the capital using artificial intelligence technologies.
How the "Atlas" platform will work
The project is based on the "Atlas" digital platform, which creates a detailed model of the city, including streets, intersections, traffic lights, and public transport routes. Using AI, the system will analyze traffic and predict the emergence of congestion in specific locations in advance. This will allow for testing various management decisions in a virtual environment before their real-world implementation.
What this means for citizens
For Bishkek residents, the platform will become a trip planning tool. Users will be able to choose the most efficient routes, considering various modes of transport: walking, public transport, private cars, or ride-sharing services. The system will also suggest the optimal time to hit the road.
In addition to transport tasks, the analysis of collected data will help determine which city districts experience a shortage of social infrastructure, such as schools, kindergartens, and medical institutions. All data will be anonymized and stored within Kyrgyzstan.
Context
Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan with a population of approximately 1.19 million people. As part of the project, there are also plans to develop a domestic digital map that will operate in Kyrgyz and Russian.
