Video Analytics towards Vision Zero
Worldwide problems demands bold action
- Worldwide 1.25 million people are killed annually in traffic accidents
- In 2016, road crashes resulted in 40,000 deaths and 4.6 million injuries in the United States.
- Crashes are preventable and we need not wait for someone to be killed or injured before we take action
Make a difference, teach computers to learn
- Unique opportunity to help prevent traffic crashes and save lives
- "Teach" our computers how to recognize vehicles, people walking and bicyclists
- Cities will be able to rapidly detect road conflicts and traffic engineers can then take preventative action to avoid crashes
