Fourteen AI-powered pedestrian crossings have come up in Dubai Silicon Oasis to boost road safety and traffic management.
Designed by Derq, a prominent developer of AI analytics solutions, the tech will detect and track vehicles and other road users approaching the pedestrian crosswalk.
This maximizes the effectiveness of the system on the reaction time of the approaching surrounding vehicles.
The system's control algorithms also provide the flexibility to activate or deactivate alerts and control their duration, allowing for customization based on specific crossing scenarios.
Alerts can be configured to remain active for a predetermined crossing time or as long as a pedestrian is detected in the crosswalk or its vicinity.
It follows extensive testing over a period of two years.
The system also collects valuable data to enhance road users’ awareness and relevant authorities’ responsiveness to safety issues.
