AI-Powered Innovation: Advancing Traffic Incident Prevention for Safer Roads in San Jose
Our Urban City Customer
San Jose, California, known for its innovation and vibrant cultural is home to over one million residents. As the city grows, traffic density increases, raising pedestrian and vehicle incidents. In response, the city adopted Vision Zero’s goal to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries through roadway improvements and new safety measures with the purpose to create safer streets for all – bikes, vehicles, and pedestrians.
