Roundabout Technologies provides an AI-driven vision system that uses real-time camera data to create a live map of all road users. This system makes instant decisions to optimize traffic signal timing for improved safety and reduced wait times. The technology integrates with existing signal controllers to dynamically manage traffic flow based on current road conditions.

Problem
Traditional traffic signal systems rely on outdated detection methods and fixed timing plans, leading to inefficiencies and increased wait times for vehicles and pedestrians. Existing coordinated systems are fragile and often fail to adapt to changing traffic conditions, special events, or the needs of pedestrians and cyclists.
Solution
Roundabout Technologies offers an AI-powered traffic signal control system that optimizes signal timings in real time based on comprehensive 3D perception of all road users. Integrating with existing camera infrastructure, the system anticipates the movements of vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians to make optimal signal changes. By conducting a traffic study four times per second, the AI dynamically adjusts signal timings to minimize wait times, prioritize buses and emergency vehicles, discourage speeding in high-injury corridors, and protect pedestrians needing extra crossing time. The system adapts to nearby signals, responds to traffic patterns from special events or road closures, and eliminates the need for complex detector configurations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes city transportation departments and municipalities seeking to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance pedestrian safety in urban environments.
