How the UK’s South West is Harnessing AI for Safer Roads

Road fatalities are going back to pre-pandemic numbers and on many occasions, those deaths could have been prevented with a simple gesture, like buckling up or not looking at the mobile phone. In the Devon and Cornwall area in the UK, to make sure drivers are wearing their seatbelts and aren’t distracted behind the wheel, police deployed an AI-enabled solution by Acusensus that uses radar and cameras to catch rule breakers, find problematic areas and change driver behavior to make roads safer.

In this video we discuss this project, part of the scheme Vision Zero South West, with Adrian Leisk, Head of Road Safety at Devon and Cornwall Police, and Geoff Collins, UK General Manager for Acusensus.
