Redefining Transit Safety and Efficiency

In the always-evolving world of urban mobility, one event serves as a spotlight for transit innovation and progress: the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) EXPO.

At the upcoming 2023 APTA EXPO and TRANSform Conference in Orlando, FL, a presentation is promising to redefine our understanding of transit safety and efficiency.

The presentation “AI-Based Vehicle Detection: Reducing Collision Risk, Enhancing Transit Service,” part of the “Exploration of Safety Technology” Learning Zone panel is set to be a game-changer and explore groundbreaking AI-based advancements in urban mobility.

Scheduled for Monday, October 9th, from 1:50 to 2:20 pm ET, at Hot Topics 1 in the Learning Zone (Booth #1389), the presentation delves into the topic of advanced transit safety and efficiency alongside other insightful talks on the topic of “Safety & Security”.

Come Meet Safe Fleet at Booth #2777!

We’re thrilled to offer you an exciting sneak peek into the future of transit safety—a future that is to be unveiled at the APTA EXPO 2023. We invite you to join us at the Safe Fleet booth (Booth #2777), where we will explore an array of cutting-edge solutions. Including:

ClearLane™ ABLE

Utilizing an Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) camera, context camera, and AI algorithms for real-time monitoring, this system ensures efficient bus routes by swiftly identifying unauthorized parked vehicles, enhancing urban transit safety by automating and streamlining the process of enforcing bus lane regulations.

MirrorLess Collision Avoidance Technology

Upgrade road safety! By replacing mirrors with advanced cameras and LCD screens, we provide a cost-effective solution to eliminate blind spots. Additionally, improved situational awareness, reduced collision risks, and increased confidence behind the wheel enter the equation.

MobileMule™ AI

This AI-assisted driver behavior system enhances fleet management by detecting fatigue, distraction, and more using AI, all while safeguarding driver privacy. MobileMule™ AI boosts safety and promotes responsible driving practices within your fleet.

Lighting Solutions

Elevate transit safety with our innovative lighting solutions. As experts in vehicle safety, we redefine road safety for passengers and pedestrians while improving visibility on roads and scenes. Our LED interior lights, warning signs, strobes, scene lights, and work lights offer heightened visibility day or night.

Furthermore, we’re excited to discuss advancements in video surveillance, showcasing how technology can play a pivotal role in enhancing safety across urban transit systems.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with our experts and explore the future of transit technology firsthand. Let’s redefine the way we approach transit safety and efficiency.

Tackling Urban Congestion Head-On

Urban congestion has become an all too familiar challenge in metropolitan areas, impacting everything from ride times to air quality. One critical aspect of this challenge is dedicated bus lane violations, leading to overcrowded stops, delayed services, and heightened collision risks.

Enter: Safe Fleet ClearLane™, an AI-based Automated Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) system, poised to disrupt the norm and create safer, more efficient transit corridors.

The Safe Fleet ClearLane™ Advantage

Imagine dedicated bus lanes operating without obstructions, ensuring seamless bus movement and an improved passenger experience. The revolutionary ClearLane system makes this a reality by transforming real-time monitoring of bus lanes.

At its core, ClearLane relies on onboard technologies like an ALPR and context camera, a purpose-built computer, GPS receiver, and a cellular router. When a violation occurs, the cameras capture and recognize license plates and the violating vehicle. Advanced AI then analyzes this data, seamlessly cross-referencing it with local laws using GPS. Finally, the evidence package is sent for review via the cellular router, following the city’s citation processing policy, through the Department of Transportation.

This innovative system is a game-changer for transit safety. By swiftly identifying unauthorized vehicles, enforcing bus lane regulations, and enhancing traffic flow, ClearLane paves the way for safer, more efficient urban mobility.

But the impact doesn’t stop at bus lanes. From detecting blocked intersections to identifying illegal turns, the applications of this technology extend across urban landscapes, creating safer roads and more efficient traffic flow.

Passenger-Centric Innovation

The real beauty of this innovation lies in its passenger-centric approach. With congestion mitigated and services back on track, passengers experience a new level of comfort and reliability. Crowded bus stops and buses, long commutes, and many delays become a thing of the past, replaced by a smoother, more enjoyable transit experience.

With AI-based vehicle detection leading the charge, the future of public transportation is brighter and safer than ever before. So, mark your calendars and get ready to witness the unveiling of a new era in urban mobility at this year’s APTA EXPO.

Join us in shaping the future of transit safety and efficiency! Visit our booth #2777 at the APTA EXPO, explore cutting-edge solutions, and meet our experts. Don’t miss our presentation on “AI-Based Vehicle Detection” at Hot Topics 1 in the Learning Zone (Booth #1389) on Monday, October 9th, from 1:50 p.m. ET.

We look forward to seeing you there!
