The information is instant, making the entire firefighting process faster, safer and more accurate.City Brain gives meaning to data. By using AI and advanced algorithms (计算程序)，City Brain is able to analyze a large amount of data and turn them into useful information in real-time speed.As a result of City Brains ability to predict traffic flow, detect accidents and provide instant feedback(反馈), Hangzhou has dropped from 5th to the 57th on the list of Ghinas most congested(拥塞) cities.
