Raleigh, NC and Boulder, CO, Aug. 17, 2020: MeteSYS, a smart cities and utility technology solutions provider, and Boulder AI, an Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and software company have tied up to bring pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, parking, and other smart visual transportation and mobility solutions to US cities.
“Transportation planning, safety, and operations are often labour intensive, and transportation planners and engineers are telling us that they often rely on snapshots of manually collected historical data to make decisions, as opposed to automatically accessing data and insights in real-time conditions.
“With more pedestrians, bicyclists, and other alternative forms of transportation sharing roadways with vehicles on city streets, our clients are looking to use IoT technologies to improve how they manage traffic signals and infrastructure at school crossing zones, high-traffic intersections and multi-modal lanes,” explained Andy Honeycutt, CEO of MeterSYS, in a press release. “We selected Boulder AI as a partner because they have figured out how to solve important transportation and mobility problems with a cost-efficient and easy to deploy IoT solution.”
“We recently announced a new partnership with the City of Denver that provides safer traffic crossings for pedestrians,” said Bryan Schmode, chair and CEO of Boulder AI’s board. The improved planning for intersection safety in Denver is made possible with Boulder AI’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven platform that makes decisions based on traffic flow analytics and pedestrian behaviour to inform real-time interventions and long-term projects.
Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina and within the Research Triangle, MeterSYS provides comprehensive smart community solutions and services for public water utilities, cities, and other public agencies.
