Currux Vision Announces Industry-Leading Accuracy Testing Results With the City of San José
HOUSTON — Currux Vision LLC today released test results from a deployment with the Department of Transportation of the City of San José, California. San José, recently named the Most Innovative City in the U.S. by the Center for Digital Government, used the fully integrated, AI-based SmartCity ITS platform to monitor city intersections and roadways.
The San José Department of Transportation and Currux Vision share a focus on building a safer, smarter city. SmartCity ITS delivers one of the most comprehensive autonomous traffic management platforms available today — basic and advanced traffic management, big-data collection and analytics, and real-time alerts, built around a set of Vision Zero initiatives covering vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle near-miss detection, and autonomous real-time prediction of hazardous conditions such as wrong-way drivers, stopped vehicles, speeding, and red-light or stop-sign running.
Extensive testing at key San José intersections confirmed that Currux Vision can operate with “an up to 99% accuracy averaged under various conditions including day and night, rain, camera vibrations and even partial camera view obstruction.” Testing covered vehicle detection and classification, turning-movement counts, pedestrian counts, bicycle discrimination, stopped vehicles, and speeding.
“Increasing urbanization, traffic, mode shift, and increasing focus on safety drive the urgent need for a next-generation traffic management solution like our SmartCity ITS,” said Alex Colosivschi, Founder and CEO of Currux Vision, who framed the results as a step toward wider adoption of autonomous AI capabilities among municipalities and infrastructure developers.
“Testing this leading-edge technology is a step in implementing the City of San José Smart City Vision,” said Ho Nguyen, ITS Manager for the City of San José, pointing to the role data-driven infrastructure would play in reducing congestion and improving safety citywide.
