TRB Annual Meeting 2025
The TRB program covers all transportation with sessions and workshops addressing topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academia.
Rekor at the 104th TRB Annual Meeting: Showcasing Innovation and Expanding Connections
Rekor Systems proudly participated in the 104th Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting, held from January 5-9, 2025, in Washington, DC. This prestigious event brought together thousands of transportation professionals from around the globe to discuss critical issues and innovative solutions shaping the future of mobility. Rekor’s presence as an exhibitor, sponsor, and poster presenter demonstrated our commitment to advancing roadway intelligence and fostering collaborative partnerships in the transportation industry.
Rekor Command and Rekor Discover Take Center Stage at Booth #1021
At the heart of Rekor’s participation was our exhibit at Booth #1021, where we showcased our flagship roadway intelligence solutions: Rekor Command™ and Rekor Discover™. These cutting-edge technologies drew significant attention from attendees eager to learn how Rekor’s non-intrusive data-driven approach is revolutionizing traffic management and urban mobility, enhancing roadway safety, and enabling smarter infrastructure decisions.
Rekor Command™ provides transportation agencies a way to take command of their roadways with real-time, AI-driven event detection, roadway response, and advanced analytics, enhancing Traffic Incident Management (TIM) timelines, improving traffic flow, minimize the risk of secondary accidents, decrease operational costs, boost efficiency, and enhance safety.
Rekor Discover™ provides powerful and comprehensive roadway leveraging non-intrusive, video-based Edge systems to automate traffic and vehicle ground-truth data, including 13-bin vehicle classification, vehicle speeds, vehicle volumes, air quality, electric vehicle statistics and more. Throughout the conference, our team engaged with new and existing clients, partners, and industry leaders. These discussions highlighted the growing demand for intelligent transportation solutions and reinforced Rekor’s position as a trusted partner in addressing these challenges.
Advancing Research with Poster Presentation on Traffic Incident Persistence
Rekor’s commitment to innovation was further exemplified by our participation in the poster session on Tuesday, January 7th, from 1:30 to 3:15 PM. William Mills, Data Science Manager, presented the poster titled Real-Time Prediction of Traffic Incident Persistence. This research, conducted by Rekor Data Science Team Lead Aviv Gruber and Data Scientist Tal Katz Ratz, showcased Rekor’s advancements in predictive analytics for traffic incident management.
Predicting traffic incident durations is crucial for effective traffic management and resource allocation. The research introduced a Bayesian Network (BN) model designed to estimate incident durations using a diverse dataset from multiple states and incorporating multiple variables. The model provided a robust and flexible framework for predicting traffic incident durations, that could contribute to improved traffic incident management and road network efficiency.
The poster session attracted considerable interest from attendees, including academics, policymakers, and industry practitioners. The engaging discussions that followed underscored the relevance of Rekor’s research in addressing real-world transportation challenges and its potential to shape the future of traffic management.
Rekor Rush Hour: A Memorable Networking Event
In addition to our presence at the TRB Annual Meeting, Rekor hosted our annual TRB Rekor Rush Hour on the evening of Tuesday, January 7th, at the historic Morrison Clark Hotel. Sponsored by Omnisight, this highly anticipated event provided a unique opportunity for attendees to connect in a relaxed and elegant setting.
The Morrison Clark Hotel, with its blend of historic charm and modern sophistication, served as the perfect backdrop for an evening of meaningful conversations and networking. Rekor Rush Hour brought together transportation professionals, industry leaders, and Rekor’s team to discuss emerging trends, share insights, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
Guests enjoyed an array of refreshments and hors d’oeuvres as they mingled and exchanged ideas. The event’s warm and welcoming atmosphere fostered connections that will undoubtedly lead to future partnerships and innovations in the transportation sector.
