Image Sensing Systems’ ISS Labs Engages in Transportation Projects
April 06 2017 - 3:30PM
Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISNS) today announced that ISS
Labs is engaged in a number of transportation innovation projects
across the country. These projects support States Department
of Transportation (DOT) to introduce and evaluate new technology
solutions to solve specific safety and efficiency traffic problems.
ISS Labs recently partnered with AECOM and
completed a project with Minnesota DOT on enhanced speed compliance
for work zones. Work zones on heavily traveled divided highways
present problems to motorists in the form of traffic delays and
increased crash risks. Speeding has long been considered a major
cause of crashes within work zones. The objective of this
project is to save lives; improve driver and worker safety; enhance
the safety and efficiency of state patrol officers; reduce work
zone crash severity, injuries and property damage and enhance
mobility of the work zone. ISS Labs provided the sensor processing
system on a mobile trailer to assist in the achievement of these
objectives by integrating and presenting video and radar tracking
information, and presenting it to the state patrol agent for
targeted speed enforcement.
The system was deployed and tested in a work zone
location along the heavily traveled Interstate 35E in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul area. The system utilized the Autoscope Duo
sensor platform to capture visual and speed information that was
sent wirelessly via cellular communications in real-time to the
Minnesota State Patrol vehicle. The use of this system saw an
overall reduction in speed violators during the enforcement period
of the project.
“ISS Labs participation in this project aligns with
the overall mission of this research and development team,” said
Dr. Saad Bedros, Manager of ISS Labs for Image Sensing
Systems. “As a technology company it is vital for us to stay
abreast of the disruption changes in technology and intelligent
transportation systems trends and market requirements so that we
can strengthen and grow our market leadership.”
ISS Labs currently has a number of projects
underway with State and Federal Department of Transportations
ranging from pedestrian safety to connected vehicles and situation
awareness at intersections. All of these projects are using
machine learning and embedded sensor processing to provide
actionable data for solving traffic challenges.
ISS Labs was created in 2013 by ISS’ founder Dr.
Panos Michalopoulos and lead by Dr. Saad Bedros. The Lab’s
mission is to strengthen technological and market leadership by
identifying and capitalizing on recent innovations and emerging
trends applied to the traffic management markets. ISS Labs
aims to develop partnerships and alliances with key leaders in
academia, research centers, consultants, technology suppliers and
integrators. These key alliances influence the development of
new technologies, and solutions that provide the marketplace with
leading-edge technology to solve smart city problems.
