Currux Vision, leader in AI powered Traffic Management Systems, with its Distributor Western Systems, announces the successful implementation of its pioneering system designed to detect, quantify, and stop red light violations with the City of San José, California.
HOUSTON, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Red light runners cause hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries each year in the US. In 2022, 1,149 people were killed in crashes that involved red light running. Half of those killed were pedestrians, bicyclists and people in other vehicles who were hit by the red-light runners. And of course, car insurance goes up approximately 25%. Until now there is no good solution.
Currux Vision uses existing, standard video cameras coupled with its sophisticated AI models and latest, fastest video processors to accurately provide the information required to understand and identify high incident intersections and determine the issues with these intersections as well as prevent accidents.
Currux Vision identifies and records instances where vehicles failed to stop at red lights. Currux Vision also analyzes a vehicle's speed and distance from a stop bar to predict if it will run a red light to alert the signal controller to extend the red light on the other side, or to hold a green phase to reduce rear-end collisions. The majority of existing traffic management system are not considered valuable, reliable, and efficient for this type of analysis and prevention.
Alex Colosivschi, CEO of Currux Vision: "Deploying this technology is a testament to our commitment to using AI for societal good, especially in enhancing urban traffic safety. The accuracy and impact of our systems are paving the way for safer cities."
Ho Nguyen, ITS Manager of San Jose: "Integrating Currux Vision's technology into San Jose's traffic management provides us with the data needed to make informed decisions that directly contribute to reducing traffic accidents."
Zach Hoiting, Sr VP Western Systems: "We are excited to work with City of San Jose and Currux Vision to provide the cutting-edge AI based analytics for monitoring, managing and providing influential data."
