The Engineering Conference 2022: Using AI to Promote Greener Smart Mobility and Improve Road Safety
At OSPE’s 2022 Engineering Conference, Emanuel Corthay (P.Eng.) will share his experience using AI (artificial intelligence) and computer vision to design greener, safer roads. In recent years, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes have been introduced across Canada to reduce emissions and congestion. However, it is estimated that much of the traffic in these lanes comes from single-occupancy vehicles. To address this problem, accurate data is needed on the use (and abuse) of HOV lanes. Corthay’s presentation (Using Artificial Intelligence [AI] to Promote Greener Smart […]
