• Bonang AI: The platform is an end-to-end AI system designed to detect and track vehicles
as well as pedestrians and to estimate a safety metric for an intersection. Object tracking
recognizes the same object across successive frames, giving the ability to estimate
trajectories and speeds of the objects. The platform also detects collisions and near misses.
A real time dashboard visualizes the intelligence extracted from the traffic intersection
along with annotated video stream(s).This collected intelligence can be used to adjust
traffic lights to optimize the traffic flow of the intersection, or to evaluate and enhance the
safety of the intersection by allowing emergency services notifications, such as calls to the
police or armed response, to be triggered by collision detection or break ins, reducing
emergency response times.
