AI-based detection sensors launched for smart intersections

Smart mobility infrastructure management company Iteris has unveiled a new artificial intelligence-powered smart sensor for smart intersections. Iteris claims Vantage Apex is the industry's first 1,080p high-definition (HD) video and four-dimensional (4D) radar sensor with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Vantage Apex identifies objects using Iteris' AI video analytics, image library, high-performance GPU/CPU-based computing, machine learning and neural network algorithms. This enables high-precision and detailed classification of many different vehicle types and vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. According to Iteris, using forward-fire radar technology to'virtually' eliminate occlusion, the Vantage Apex hybrid sensor uses 4D/HD radar technology with a field of view exceeding 600 feet.
