WASHINGTON: The US Transportation Department and NXP Semiconductors NV are joining forces in a pilot project to use communication technology to reduce congestion and speed traffic, they said on March 11.
The department said in December that it would award up to US$40mil (RM163.54mil) to a mid-size US city to pilot the efforts.
