Drakewell's comprehensive software suite connects seamlessly to Rekor's recently unveiled AI-based non-intrusive data collection system. It covers all aspects of a Department of Transportation's traffic data program, from tools for field operations to real-time data retrieval and short-term count processing, data evaluation, and public portals with customizable reports and visualizations.

"Drakewell's unparalleled reputation as a trusted supplier to multiple domestic and international departments of transportation is due to their unmatched access to a vast and continuously updated traffic database," said Michael Dunbar, Rekor CRO. "The integration of our state-of-the-art Rekor Edge Max and Edge Flex AI-based data collection systems with Drakewell represents a breakthrough to real-time traffic data collection and analytics for our customers and is proving to be an invaluable resource to public and private agencies looking to have a real-time, comprehensive view of all objects moving on roadways."

"Our Drakewell suite of software can fuse together data from any deployed technology or source. Our customers do not want to be tied to the inefficiency of using multiple manufacturer-specific software platforms due to an array of technology deployed on their networks to monitor traffic. By joining the RPN, we receive real-time individual vehicle records from Rekor's Edge platform, including vehicle counts, Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA") 13-bin classifications, and vehicle speed generated completely through Rekor's proprietary computer vision and machine learning technologies. This is game-changing and a strong value-adding source of insights for our customers," concluded Duncan Jamieson, Business Development Director, Drakewell.
