On September 5, 2024, several members of the EUCloudEdgeIoT community met for a workshop organized by the European Commission to discuss results of the Swarm Intelligence cluster of projects, namely INCODE, TaRDIS, OASEES, OpenSwarm and SMARTEDGE. SmartEdge contributed by showcasing its innovative use of swarm intelligence in three key areas: traffic management, smart factories and standardization.

As part of the SmartEdge project, we are developing swarms of autonomous mobile robots and smart edge devices that can adapt themselves to dynamically changing environments while collaborating with each other to achieve common goals.
Rear-end collisions are a major road safety problem, particularly at intersections with traffic lights. Using swarm intelligence, Aalto University and Conveqs Oy are introducing a new approach to tackle the problem through connected and cooperative traffic management that deploys the technologies provided by the SmartEdge project. It has been measured that around 30% of accidents at intersections with traffic lights are rear-end collisions. The dangerous moment comes when the green
