Rekor Presents Leading Transportation Management Solutions and Features in Speaker Sessions at 98th Annual Transportation Short Course
Rekor attended the 98th Annual Transportation Short Course, held from October 7 to 9, 2024 at Texas A&M in College Station, TX. The conference brought together transportation leaders from across Texas to network and explore new technologies in the industry.
Rekor team members Jim Hanson, Paul Zamsky, Melissa Warnke, and Ryan Wells joined the event in person to discuss key solutions for transportation leaders, Rekor Command™ and Rekor Discover™.
Rekor Highlights:
At the booth, the team shared Rekor’s core platforms for the 98th Annual Transportation Short Course attendees:
- Rekor Command™: Through the use of our proprietary AI algorithms and technology, the Rekor Command™ platform detects events by transforming raw roadway and mobility data into actionable insights, ensuring transportation teams can respond to events disrupting the roadways in a timely and efficient manner, while also enabling the insights needed to analyze past performance and make collaborative data-driven decisions to drive improved performance of the roadways in the future.
- Rekor Discover™: Rekor Discover™ is a cutting-edge platform that addresses the limitations of traditional traffic data collection methods, which are often unsafe, costly, and inefficient. By leveraging AI-powered roadside systems, Rekor Discover™ automates the capture of comprehensive traffic and vehicle data, offering transportation organizations robust analytics and actionable insights.
Rekor Recognized in Speaker Sessions:
In the 98th Transportation Short Course General Session on Monday, October 7, the speakers discussed the practical uses of AI. For example, Austin, Texas is using Rekor’s AI to identify traffic incidents with remarkable results—workers are notified as soon as an incident is discovered, so they can respond faster and warn the public faster.
Then, in the presentation titled “Leveraging the Power of AI for Traffic Management” on Tuesday morning, Mike Arellano (P.E., Austin District Deputy Engineer, TxDOT) discussed Rekor Command™ and Rekor’s work with TxDOT. Rekor Command™ improved their response efficiency, reducing secondary crashes: “Rekor helps us with event detection, roadway response, and advanced analytics.”
The 98th Annual Transportation Short Course is an invaluable event for Rekor; the team enjoyed connecting with attendees at the booth, attending speaker sessions, and discussing how Rekor Command™ and Rekor Discover™ support transportation leaders.
