  • Publication number: 20260105756
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for alleviating traffic congestion within an enforcement zone. In some embodiments, a system for alleviating traffic congestion within an enforcement zone comprises a server and a plurality of edge devices coupled to carrier vehicles deployed within the enforcement zone. The edge devices can be configured to capture videos of vehicles that may be subject to the traffic congestion pricing policy and to determine their locations, license plate numbers, and certain vehicle attributes using certain sensors on the edge devices and deep learning models running on the edge devices. The edge devices can also be configured to transmit evidence packages to the server concerning such vehicles. The server can be configured to evaluate the evidence packages received from the edge devices and prepare final evidence packages concerning the vehicles for further review and processing.

  • Publication number: 20260100058
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for detecting traffic lane violations. In one embodiment, a method for detecting a potential traffic violation is disclosed comprising bounding a vehicle detected from one or more video frames of a video in a vehicle bounding box. The vehicle can be detected and bounded using a first convolutional neural network. The method can also comprise bounding, using the one or more processors of the edge device, a plurality of lanes of a roadway detected from the one or more video frames in a plurality of polygons. The plurality of lanes can be detected and bounded using multiple heads of a multi-headed second convolutional neural network. The method can further comprise detecting a potential traffic violation based in part on an overlap of at least part of the vehicle bounding box and at least part of one of the polygons.
