Derq’s AI-powered platform ingests and fuses data from traffic cameras and sensors, runs real-time analytics, and delivers continuous and actionable safety and traffic insights. Derq’s automated safety performance metrics – based on live identification of safety events and road user behaviours such as crashes, near-misses or pedestrian and cyclist compliance issues – are translated into safety scores.

The seamless integration of Derq safety performance metrics with Econolite’s cloud-based ATMS – part of the Umovity Tech Suite – gives traffic managers a unique advantage by enhancing situational awareness and by allowing simultaneous monitoring of transportation performance and safety.

It provides users with instant visibility into safety issues at intersections with the option to dive deeper using Derq’s cloud-based dashboard, so transportation agencies can make rapid adjustments to traffic signals and address emerging safety issues. The partnership’s first proof of concept is already underway in Pinellas County, Florida.

Christian U. Haas, CEO of Umovity, said, “We’re crafting a distinctive traffic management solution that prioritizes the safety of all road users – particularly the most vulnerable ones, such as pedestrians and bicyclists.”
