Hayden AI

What Hayden AI does

Hayden AI combines advanced vision AI with purpose-built, vehicle-mounted hardware to analyze urban environments in real-time. Their technology helps cities make streets safer and improve transit performance by detecting and enforcing parking and traffic violations. They offer solutions for bus lanes, bus stops, bike lanes, and double parking, aiming to improve transit ridership, efficiency, safety, and accessibility. The platform utilizes edge processing and a data portal for reviewing violations and managing traffic rules, with a strong emphasis on privacy.

Products

• Automated Bus Lane EnforcementA Vision AI platform that uses bus-mounted, AI-powered camera systems to keep bus lanes clear for buses, enforcing violations at scale and in real-time to speed up transit and improve safety.
• Automated Bus Stop EnforcementA Vision AI platform that uses bus-mounted, AI-powered camera systems to keep bus stops clear for buses, ensuring accessibility and safety for boarding and exiting.
• Automated Bike Lane EnforcementA Vision AI platform that equips parking enforcement and other agency vehicles with forward-facing, AI-powered cameras to enforce parking violations in bike lanes, enhancing safety for cyclists.
• AI-Powered Camera SystemThe core technology that locates illegally parked or moving vehicles with high accuracy using computer vision and machine learning.
• Edge ProcessingAn AI Perception Engine that identifies and documents potential traffic violations while the vehicle is moving, enhancing privacy by only uploading necessary data for prosecutable violations.
• Data PortalA platform for authorized agencies to review potential traffic violations, integrate with processing systems for citations, manage traffic rules, and access advanced aggregated data analysis and visualization.
