Saving Lives With Smart Road Tech - Charlie Degliomini #6254

Kerry Lutz interviewed Charles Degliomini from Rekor  Systems to discuss the impact of AI on roadway management. Charles explained that their technology employs off-road sensors to gather precise traffic data, moving away from outdated methods like rubber tubes, which enhances vehicle classification accuracy and improves worker safety by minimizing their exposure to traffic. The AI system operates continuously, delivering real-time data that aids in reducing traffic congestion and optimizing roadway maintenance, ultimately aiming to decrease highway accidents and fatalities. He highlighted the system's ability to integrate various data sources, such as Bluetooth signals and Waze reports, allowing traffic center operators to respond to incidents significantly faster than traditional methods. Charles noted the successful implementation of this technology in cities like Las Vegas, where it has proven beneficial for emergency responders. He emphasized the necessity for modernizing traffic data reporting and contrasted proactive states like Texas with those resistant to change, while also mentioning that toll operators are more open to adopting new technologies.
