Shepherd Traffic
Shepherd Traffic provides a real-time traffic analytics platform that captures full vehicle trajectories and enables bird's eye video playback of intersection activity. The system automatically logs near-miss events and tunes traffic control to a community's specific patterns, helping agencies identify dangerous crossings before collisions occur. It surfaces live congestion, delays, and efficiency metrics for proactive traffic management.

Problem
Traditional traffic data collection relies on simple vehicle counts and aggregated summaries, which fail to capture the complex dynamics of how vehicles and pedestrians actually move through intersections. This lack of detailed behavioral data makes it difficult to identify unsafe crossing patterns, study accident causation, or design infrastructure that responds to a community's unique traffic flows.
Solution
Shepherd Traffic provides a real-time traffic analytics platform that goes beyond basic counts by capturing full vehicle trajectories and enabling bird's eye video playback of intersection activity. The system logs how intersections are traversed, defines behavioral expectations, and automatically tunes traffic control to a community's specific patterns. It surfaces live congestion, delays, and efficiency metrics, allowing agencies to manage traffic proactively. The platform also automatically logs near-miss events, giving users a novel layer of insight into dangerous crossings and high-risk zones before actual collisions occur.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal transportation departments, traffic engineering firms, and urban planning agencies responsible for studying, maintaining, and designing intersection infrastructure.
Features
- High-resolution trajectory tracking that records not just vehicle counts but the full path and movement of each road user through the intersection
- Bird's eye video playback for ground-truth review of how intersections are traversed and how incidents unfold
- Adaptive traffic control engine that defines behavioral expectations and tunes signal timing to a community's unique traffic patterns
- Real-time dashboard for monitoring congestion, delays, and intersection efficiency to enable preemptive management
- Automated near-miss detection that logs dangerous crossings and identifies areas of concern before accidents happen
