Presentation Highlights: “Roadway Intelligence: From Concrete to the Cloud”
At the conference, Rekor CRO Mike Dunbar presented “Roadway Intelligence: From Concrete to the Cloud,” explaining how Rekor transforms traffic management and public safety through AI-powered solutions.
Key Challenges in Transportation:
- Outdated Emergency Situation Reporting: Legacy systems slow emergency responses and reduce the ability to determine the location of incidents.
- Insufficient Infrastructure: U.S. public infrastructure, rated C- by the ASCE, both under-report and delay reporting of traffic volume.
- Obsolete and Unsafe Traffic Measurement Systems: Traditional traffic measurement tools, such as pneumatic tubes, require dangerous roadside construction.
Use Cases by Industry:
- Traffic Management: AI-driven data supports incident detection, cross-agency collaboration, and helps agencies notify the public faster.
- Urban Mobility: Insights assist with vehicle classification, speed, and volume, along with collecting more information on electric vehicles and emission estimates.
Results and Impact:
Rekor’s suite of AI-powered platforms delivers results across use cases, including:
- Up to a 23-minute faster notification compared to 911 systems.
- 49% increase in incident identification.
- 95% vehicle classification accuracy and 99% vehicle count accuracy as compared to ground-truth studies and human methods.
