Pack your shades, because our next customer is Metro Los Angeles ☀

In addition to bus lane enforcement, Los Angeles will join Washington, DC in deploying automated bus stop enforcement -- becoming the second city in the country to do so.

"Hayden AI was inspired by CEO and co-founder Chris Carson’s experience riding a Muni bus. He noticed the driver was forced to manually record whenever a car stopped illegally in a bus zone. There had to be a better way, he thought.

The San Francisco company has developed an AI-based camera technology for government-owned vehicles like buses to automatically catch scofflaws. In Philadelphia, a pilot involving seven buses highlighted 36,392 violations over a 70-day period, potentially totaling millions of dollars in fines. (The city did not ticket any offenders during the pilot.)"

Great to be included in The San Francisco Standarddard article on AI for local governments.

Other cities are ahead of San Francisco when it comes to AI experimentation.

To manage increasingly complex mobility challenges, planners need advanced tools. Digital twins could be the answer.

Check out our latest piece in Government Technology, authored by Weilie Yi, Hayden AI’s Vice President of Data Science.

Digital twins have revolutionized the way businesses operate, and now, startups like Hayden AI are exploring new aspects of the groundbreaking technology to transform the way cities are designed and maintained, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for communities.

“We’re thrilled to join Metropolis and incorporate NVIDIA’s vision AI tools into our patented perception platform,” said Chris Carson, co-founder and CEO of Hayden AI. “NVIDIA tools enable us to collect and process data at the edge, enhancing our algorithms in real time and helping protect data security by limiting the amount of data transmitted to the cloud.” Urban Digital Twins are digital representations of the physical built environment in our cities, including urban transport networks, buildings, and infrastructure, connected to the data in and around them. Digital twin technology is expected to save cities $280B by 2030 while helping cities reach their net-zero targets. https://www.hayden.ai/hayden-ai-joins-nvidia-metropolis-to-power-its-computer-vision-platform?fbclid=IwAR16OrMXCmdGGF8imcDoH4tlmjucDQ1vGePTGG8HugbIqSFySS_Yn8QCGQM

We’re thrilled to announce that Hayden AI has been awarded a contract with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority – the largest transit agency in the U.S. – to deploy 300 automated bus lane enforcement camera systems on MTA buses, with an option to install as many as 200 additional camera systems upon MTA request.

Automated enforcement is a powerful tool because it so clearly works. After the MTA began automated camera enforcement of bus lanes in 2019, the agency experienced a 17% increase in speed along the dedicated bus lanes on the B44.

“We are very proud to partner with MTA on this exciting transit bus mobility initiative,” said Hayden AI CEO Chris Carson, Ph.D. Carson. “Ensuring that bus lanes are free from illegally parked vehicles means that thousands of riders will experience faster, smoother, and safer transit trips. We appreciate the opportunity to deploy our technology as we help to enhance the ridership experience for all MTA transit bus passengers.”

With world-class engineers and a highly experienced R&D leadership team, Hayden AI is pioneering the next generation of smart traffic enforcement technologies with an unrivaled portfolio of inventions that is years ahead of the industry.

“We devised this method because traditionally, the way of defining and managing traffic rules in a digital form is either non-existent or very preliminary,” said Bo Shen, CTO and Co-Founder of Hayden AI. “Our pilot programs consistently show significant improvement in the efficiency and flexibility of managing traffic rules when compared to the traditional logic-based approach. We’ve also built-in mechanisms that enable municipalities to gauge the effectiveness of a particular traffic rule or lane restriction in alleviating traffic congestion and improving the schedule reliability of public fleet vehicles.”
