Using the power of Rekor's AI-driven solutions, TxDOT will be able to use these existing data sources, together with multiple new data sources, for a comprehensive real-time source of roadway intelligence that improves incident response time and overall roadway safety for its citizens. The additional data sources include predictive high-potential crash hotspots, real-time connected vehicle data, and multiple other third-party data sources to alert the TMC about incidents including crashes, abandoned vehicles, roadway debris, and more. Armed with this real-time intelligence, TXDOT will be able to respond more quickly and to more incidents happening on the roadway, as well as to determine areas of high-risk zones allowing them to be more proactive in their efforts. "Improving the safety of transportation infrastructure in Texas starts with better real-time detection and understanding of the state's roadway traffic trends and changes," said Rekor President, David Desharnais.
