In today’s rapidly evolving urban landscape, the demand for smarter, safer, and more efficient traffic management has never been higher. Traditional centralized data processing models struggle to meet these demands, particularly as cities move toward more extensive camera networks and increasingly complex traffic use cases. In this talk, we explore how cutting-edge AI and computer vision algorithms can deliver multipurpose traffic sensing solutions that address diverse challenges—from speed monitoring and congestion analysis to accident detection and pedestrian safety.

At the heart of this innovation is edge computing, which allows us to process data directly at the camera level, minimizing latency and maximizing scalability. By deploying intelligent algorithms on edge devices, traffic managers will be able to support mass-scale camera deployments that are not only cost-effective but also adaptive and resilient. Join us as we delve into the transformative potential of edge-based AI in traffic sensing, and why it holds the key to the future of urban mobility solutions worldwide.
