Hayden AI’s camera systems are to be rolled out on the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)'s automated bus lane enforcement (ABLE) on the Q44 route.
This is the first of the nine bus routes to be activated for ABLE by the end of 2022.
In the next few months, Hayden AI will install as many as 500 interior-mounted ABLE camera systems for the MTA, it says.
“The Q44 is a critically important connector, providing access to jobs and essential services for thousands of riders everyday," says Hayden AI CEO Chris Carson.
"We’re proud to help the MTA improve service on this route with automated bus lane enforcement.”
ABLE is designed to increase compliance with dedicated bus lane stopping and parking restrictions, improving bus speed and reliability of service.
This is a live issue in many urban areas, with New York even pondering a plan to pay people to report bus lane blockers.
“We look forward to helping make buses on the Q44 route move faster, having a positive impact on the tens of thousands of passengers commuting on this route,” said Hayden AI executive VP Vaibhav Ghadiok.
