Artificial intelligence (AI) firm Currux says this accuracy is maintained at day and night, in the rain and when part of the camera view is obstructed. Costar's high-resolution cameras and systems are a suitable platform for deploying the platform in transportation sectors, the company adds.

According to Currux, the system removes the need for constant human oversight and limits observation time by autonomously monitoring traffic cameras and systems. It is expected to count and identify vehicle types, slow traffic, wrong way traffic, pedestrian detection and counting and speeding while also offering a dashboard that does not require a separate video management system to operate.

Alex Colosivschi, founder of Currux, says the solution is designed to “accelerate wide-scale adoption of AI-capabilities by cities and businesses both in the US and internationally.”
  
The test was carried out in the city of Grapevine.

    Machine vision techniques can provide solutions to some of the traffic planners most enduring problems With a high proportion of cars being occupied by the driver alone, one of the easiest, most environmentally friendly and cheapest methods of reducing congestion is to encourage more people to travel in each vehicle. So to persuade people to share rides, high occupancy lanes were devised to prioritise vehicles with (typically) three of more people on board and in some areas these vehicles are exempt from

At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
