Todays traffic data collection methods utilize outdated technologies that are unsafe, costly, unscalable, resource straining, and single purpose. AI is changing the game in transportation and has been for a while. With the advent of ALPR, traffic signal management, variable speed limits to google maps to helping navigate traffic and AI supporting traffic management teams, AI is creating powerful insights. And now, AI is driving an evolution in data collection.

Rekor Discovers Class, Count, and Speed application, along with Rekor Edge Series systems, utilize state of the art AI and edge processing to automate the safe and efficient capture of FHWA 13-bin vehicle classifications, vehicle counts, and vehicle speeds. By analyzing live, high-resolution video of active traffic, Rekor Discovers Class, Count, and Speed application delivers per vehicle records (PVR) in both real-time and historic reports, that enable cities, states, and municipalities to better plan and engineer safe and reliable roadways for the future. Leveraging proprietary Rekor Edge devices, systems are deployed quickly and easily on the side of the road, keeping workers out of unsafe conditions. AI edge data processing is then utilized to capture comprehensive and accurate per vehicle records including full FHWA 13-bin classification, vehicle count, and speed. Insights can be accessed via partner portals, such as Drakewell and MS2, or directly in the Rekor Discover dashboards, all while Rekor Edge systems are monitored and updated remotely. Some features of the application include vehicle classification which collects highly accurate and complete per vehicle record classification for all FHWA 13-bin categories, our vehicle counting feature which collects critical per vehicle record insights into the volume of vehicles on your roadways, including average daily traffic (ADT) and location-specific vehicle counts with a high level of accuracy, and our speed reporting feature, which collects accurate per vehicle records of average speed and spot speed pattern data, including maximum, minimum, and 85th percentile values, to analyze and leverage for roadway planning.
