Following a comprehensive two-year testing period, a unique and pioneering system has been deployed. This system can initiate flashing cautionary indicators, lights embedded in the road, and even control traffic signals in preparation for pedestrians to cross.
Imagine a community in Dubai where 14 super-smart pedestrian crossing systems have popped up, thanks to the power of artificial intelligence (AI). These special systems, located in Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), are like super detectives for the road. They use their AI brains to spot pedestrians, cyclists, and other people who need to cross safely.
But wait, there’s more! These AI systems have super cool algorithms that can follow cars and other things moving towards the pedestrian crosswalk. This helps the system work extra well with cars, making sure they stop on time. It’s like a superhero team-up between technology and vehicles!
The best part is that these systems can change their alerts and timing depending on the situation. They can flash lights or make signs light up to tell everyone, “Hey, someone’s crossing!” These clever alerts can stay on for a set time or as long as there’s someone crossing. It’s like the system knows exactly what to do to keep everyone safe.
The brain behind all of this awesomeness comes from a company called Derq. They used super-smart models that can predict what people might do next. So, before you even start crossing, the system has already prepared by lighting up signs, road lights, and even traffic signals. It’s like having a crystal ball that sees into the future and helps prevent any traffic troubles.
And guess what? These systems also collect data to help make roads even safer and improve traffic flow. They’re like little spies gathering important info to help keep everyone happy on the roads.
These AI systems are like wizards with their own speedy 5G internet connection. This lets them talk to each other and gather data super fast. Plus, they can be controlled from far away, making sure they’re always working their magic.
In the future, these systems will use their 5G powers to talk to cars and warn them when someone’s about to cross. It’s like they’re sending secret messages to cars, saying, “Be ready, someone’s coming!”
So, thanks to these AI-powered crossing guards, the roads in Dubai’s DSO community are safer than ever. It’s like having a team of AI superheroes watching out for everyone, making sure we all cross the street with big smiles and no worries.
