This AI-powered solution is designed to enhance safety and efficiency at intersections, addressing the growing need for reliable detection of not only vehicles but also vulnerable road users (VRUs), as highlighted by recent NHTSA reports. Derq’s VDS is part of its broader platform that includes safety insights, performance monitoring, and V2X applications, cementing the company’s position as a leader in intelligent intersections.

CEO Georges Aoude explains that the VDS addresses a key customer need for an end-to-end solution that integrates real-time safety insights with advanced video detection. The system uses AI, computer vision, and data fusion to provide multimodal detection, even in challenging weather and visibility conditions. It tracks vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, giving traffic controllers the ability to adapt signal timing dynamically based on real-time conditions.

Derq’s VDS integrates with both modern and legacy traffic systems in North America, Europe and the GCC, offering flexible compatibility with signal controllers, dynamic signage, and connected infrastructure. The system is NEMA TS2 compliant, meeting North American standards. It generates real-time safety and traffic insights via the Derq Dashboard or APIs and triggers connected vehicle alerts for enhanced intersection management.

With over 30 active deployments across 16 US states and internationally, Derq’s VDS is paving the way for a safer and more efficient connected transportation ecosystem.
