SensorDog  Solution Details

Road trauma continues to rise in Australia, and despite multiple campaigns and interventions, someone is killed or hospitalized every 46 minutes because of a crash on roads in Australia. The Department of Transport (TfNSW) turned to Cisco to see if we could use our technology to assist. Using an AI system (SensorDog for Transportation), developed internally at Cisco using unsupervised learning and an ability to understand behavior of objects, we ran a successful trial in Sydney, Australia.

The Cisco AI reasoning engine solution has the ability to automate the identification of high-risk intersections through video data, the causes of the risk, and then prioritize intervention. The customer was so pleased with the solution that it received Ministerial approval, has been rolled out to 4 additional intersections, and has spearheaded work on an AI program in the department. The value of our solution is the opportunity to save lives and reduce road trauma.

Please join me in congratulating all of this year’s winners!
