Contract utilizes Rekor’s technology to detect bicycles and pedestrians in support of FDOT’s goal of improving safety and mobility for all road and trail users Rekor Systems, Inc., a global AI technology company with a mission to provide insights that build safer, smarter, and more efficient cities through intelligent infrastructure, recently announced that it has been awarded a contract with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Office of Transportation Data and Analytics (TDA). This contract covers hardware, software and data collection services for the State’s Non-Motorized Count Station Installation and Maintenance Services over a five-year term. The contract was executed by Rekor subsidiary Southern Traffic Services (STS), which it acquired in June 2022. Recently, the State of Florida (the State) was named as having the most bicycle fatalities among states by the U.S. Department of Transportation and recently was cited as the second most dangerous state for pedestrians by Smart Growth America. To combat this urgent safety risk, the State has put in place an aggressive program to collect and analyze data on non-motorized pedestrian and bicycle traffic across the State. This new contract expands these efforts by using Rekor’s advanced monitoring capabilities and AI-enabled analysis to identify trends and changes in real-time traffic that can lead to better solutions. The data collected, which includes volume data and supporting statistics, can be used for analyses in a variety of projects, such as safety studies and planning for FDOT facilities, pavement and trail maintenance. “This contract is a clear example of what the billions of dollars flowing from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act need to be used for first. The infrastructure of the future will be shaped by a better understanding of real time roadway data. Understanding these rapidly changing needs is a critical first step in every new infrastructure project and we are pleased to be a leader in delivering these vital services at this important time. Our recent acquisition of STS is already generating significant revenue for the Company, and we look forward to providing similar enhanced value in the many other states where STS is also a trusted partner,” said Robert A. Berman, CEO and Chair, Rekor. Under its terms, Florida counties and municipalities will also be able to use the benefits of this five-year contract with FDOT. This data collection follows national guidelines allowing the data to be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration. This translates into funding allocations for state and federal highway programs and is therefore a critical necessity in each State.

As a provider of comprehensive, continuous, and real-time roadway intelligence, Rekor leverages AI, machine learning, and holistic data to support the intelligent infrastructure that is essential for smart mobility.

Campus safety is a core value and top of mind for students, faculty and especially parents. A face recognition-based smart access control and time attendance system is a modern convenience that is needed even today. Such a system can help to track staff and student attendance accurately, which can save enterprises and schools money. In addition, adding such a system to the workplace and schools can also help to add a layer of security. Many primary schools are introducing the latest facilities to create a smart campus. On such a campus, parents can be assured that their child is within the secure confines of the school and the classroom once inside campus. The touchless Access Control & Time Attendance devices would be the first choice of the smart campus, not just to mark attendance but also to ensure the safety and security of its students. Campus Management Anviz FaceDeep 3 outside every classroom is part of the Smart Campus, as it will mark students’ attendance every morning. It could also be integrated with the turnstile of the campus gate, the canteen payment system, printing system, to facilitate students’ smooth movement between classrooms, the canteen, and printing rooms. Thus, once the child is inside the classroom, it will be amply clear to the school which class a particular child is attending and it will account for every student on the premises. Also, it will save teachers time and effort by eliminating the manual marking of attendance. This time can be used for other productive activities. Shortly, when FaceDeep 3 is coupled with the Anviz smart survelliance cameras guarding the campus, it will be will easy to spot a student on the huge campus.

Recognize and clock in with the face in seconds, after the face of students is aligned with the camera of the FaceDeep 3 on the bus, even if they are wearing masks. Further, every student will have designated buses, and strangers have no chance to get on. Thus, there is no need for bus drivers to check the passengers’ identities. “We are glad to create a technology-driven environment with related skill-based training to ensure it benefits comprehensive student services. It will be certainly simple if the access control, time attendance, and canteen management as well as printing management are integrated into a centrally managed system,” the IT Manager of Anviz said.
