ITMAX cut peak-hour corridor travel times by up to 26% using simulation to test traffic signal timing in Malaysia, NVIDIA said in a blog post published on Nov. 3.
The chipmaker described projects combining public services on shared computing systems. It described them in “Cities Worldwide Build and Scale AI Services With NVIDIA Physical and Agentic AI.” NVIDIA said cities could expand services without each department or municipality buying and managing its own computing resources.
ITMAX integrates TeraSim, an open-source traffic simulation platform from Laplace Intelligence, into its work, the company said. Its SamurAI V2 vision agents are expanding on NVIDIA processors to support more than 17,000 cameras by 2027, a target rather than a completed deployment.
In Taiwan, Linker Vision and Dutch architecture firm MVRDV are using NVIDIA technology to assess the environmental effects of urban planning options, the company said. They simulate 15 years of urban forest canopy outcomes in 10 minutes, cutting the time for each design revision from two weeks to less than an hour.
NVIDIA said cities face difficulties turning camera, sensor and operational data into actions that improve planning, maintenance and public services. It described applications using AI agents, software that can answer requests and carry out tasks, alongside infrastructure simulations and video analysis.
In Spain, 1MillionBot combines models trained at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center with NVIDIA and other models, the company said. Its resident-service agents serve Madrid Digital, Catalonia's public administration body and more than 150 deployments across Spain, handling procedures, appointments, planning incidents and service inquiries.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, LiveX is developing conversational AI hosts for airports, hospitals, local events and other public spaces, NVIDIA said. The hosts can answer questions and take action, with adaptations for local languages and service needs.
In Wroclaw, Poland, K2K is building shared AI infrastructure to analyse existing camera feeds for mobility, safety and responses to events, the company said. Several city functions would use the same computing infrastructure.
At Dangote's Lekki refinery in Nigeria, Honeywell Technologies uses NVIDIA-powered agents to interpret operational data, the company said. A digital twin, a computer model of the plant and its processes, is planned for simulation and training.
At Morocco's Tanger Med port, Cires Technologies is expanding computing infrastructure for planned applications including worker safety, congestion analysis and cargo routing, NVIDIA said. It is also building a network of providers to develop local models and applications.
NVIDIA said smaller systems, including workstations, may suffice to start some services, depending on the workload. It said shared resources and managed services could help cities extend AI applications across departments and municipalities.
