Hayden AI, a provider of vision AI and spatial analytics technologies, and LYT, a provider of intelligent connected traffic technology solutions, have formed a partnership to enhance public transportation. The companies seek to combine the real-time data and location accuracy applications of Hayden AI’s bus-mounted vision AI platform and LYT’s transit signal priority system to create technology solutions that help transit agencies improve road safety, on-time bus performance and accessibility.
Hayden AI says its automated bus lane and bus stop enforcement platform is installed on many transit buses across the USA to improve road safety, transit reliability and transportation accessibility.
LYT.transit, LYT’s signal priority solution, uses cloud technology powered by AI and edge processing to time traffic signals so that transit buses can regularly receive green lights at intersections.
In New York City, where Hayden AI technology is installed on Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses, the company says transit speeds have increased by up to 36% on certain routes and vehicle collisions have decreased by 20% on streets that use the technology. In Portland, Oregon, LYT reports that TriMet’s FX2 route experienced a 70% reduction in signal delay and a 13.2% savings on fuel costs when using LYT.transit.
“Our customers value the high level of precision that our vision AI platform offers, and so we are thrilled to work with LYT to unlock more benefits from our technology for transit agencies,” said Chris Carson, CEO and founder of Hayden AI. “Transit zone enforcement and transit signal priority are two powerful tools to improve transit service for riders. We’re looking forward to making a more robust suite of transit technology.”
Tim Menard, CEO and founder of LYT, added, “Accurate real-time location data is essential to the effectiveness of our transit signal priority platform. Working with Hayden AI will open up even greater efficiency improvements for our transit agency customers.”
