Deployment in Estonia’s capital city marks
Hayden AI’s third program in Europe
Hayden AI, a global leader in artificial intelligence and
spatial analytics, is partnering with the City of Tallinn,
Estonia’s capital, to pilot Hayden AI’s automated bus lane and bus
stop enforcement platform. The pilot is part of the city’s “Test in
Tallinn” initiative, which aims to develop and implement smart city
solutions for global markets.
For this pilot, Hayden AI will install forward-facing,
AI-powered camera systems behind the windshield of two transit
buses to detect the number of parking violations occurring at bus
lanes and bus stops. The pilot will also determine the impact of
these obstructing vehicles on public transport service.
Hayden AI’s technology is a proven solution for the safety and
efficiency problems created by parking violations in dedicated
transit zones and cycle lanes. Blocked bus lanes and bus stops
delay transit service and create operational hazards for bus
drivers, who have to frequently change lanes to avoid these
vehicles. Additionally, passengers with disabilities or mobility
issues cannot safely board or exit the bus when bus stops are
blocked.
Kalle Killar, City Enterprise Director in Tallin, says that
“this pilot plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall quality
and sustainability of services that the city provides.” Killar also
anticipates that “companies using Tallinn as a testbed for their
products will not only succeed on a global scale but also set the
benchmark for creating innovative and sustainable urban
spaces.”
“We are thrilled to work with Tallinn on this pilot,” said Chris
Carson, CEO and founder of Hayden AI. “Tallinn is a pioneer in
testing and deploying innovative technology for public services,
and we are looking forward to piloting our vision AI technology in
their city. We hope to help deliver the same benefits to transit
riders in Tallinn that our technology delivers in cities like New
York and Washington, DC.”
Hayden AI is the United States market leader in mobile automated
bus lane enforcement and bus stop enforcement, with hundreds of
bus-mounted, AI-powered camera systems installed on transit buses
across the country. This technology is proven to reduce vehicle
collisions, improve bus on-time performance, and help ensure that
bus stops are accessible to people with disabilities.
This pilot in Tallinn marks Hayden AI’s third deployment in
Europe. The company has piloted its technology in Gdansk, Poland
and will soon begin a pilot in Braga, Portugal.
