Company’s INSIGHT offering now provides framework and tools to identify and prioritize safety issues efficiently across road networks, filling a key gap in the transportation industry
Washington, DC - (January 9, 2023) - Derq, an award-winning MIT spin-off and leading provider of real-time artificial intelligence (AI) analytics solutions for intelligent roads and connected vehicles, today announced at the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) 102nd Annual Meeting the release of an industry-first Automated Safety Performance Monitoring solution to help agencies with safety scoring and prioritization across various road networks in the US.
As the company exhibits at TRB, the largest global gathering of transportation professionals and researchers this week in Washington, D.C., the new dashboard features create an automated safety performance scoring framework and tools, which draw from the safety and traffic insights the platform collects and generates on a real-time and continuous basis for Derq’s customers.
“With the U.S. Department of Transportation recognizing the importance for data-driven approaches to understanding and resolving road safety issues through significant investments in programs such as SS4A and SMART, Derq’s new safety scoring framework fills this key need by providing a unique solution to continuously measure safety performance metrics for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists,” said Karl Jeanbart, COO and Co-founder of Derq. “Our number one priority remains to help agencies reduce the rapidly increasing number of roadway deaths to ultimately achieve their vision zero target.”
