ITS America Member Webinar – Revolutionizing Road Safety: The Power of AI and Automated Data Collection
Increasing road safety is a critical mission for every Department of Transportation (DOT) and local agency. However, with growing populations and expanding road networks, ensuring the safety of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians is becoming increasingly complex. This webinar will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming road safety and asset management, moving us closer to achieving Vision Zero—eliminating all traffic fatalities and severe injuries. Traditional, manual road inspections are costly, inefficient, and pose significant safety risks. We’ll demonstrate how AI-powered solutions, leveraging existing dash camera footage, provide real-time, actionable insights, enabling agencies to proactively address safety hazards before they lead to accidents.
We’ll delve into the limitations of current inspection methods and how AI automates data collection and analysis, identifying critical road issues like missing signs, potholes, and malfunctioning streetlights within minutes. Discover how these insights integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, allowing for rapid remediation and improved resource allocation. You’ll also learn how this technology is not only improving current road safety but also preparing infrastructure for the future of autonomous vehicles.
