Los Angeles Adopts AI Tech for Automated Ticketing of Bus Lane Violators

 

With the new artificial intelligence-powered system, Metro buses in Los Angeles will be able to use cameras to target drivers who are breaking the law by using bus lanes illegally and ticketing them. Los Angeles buses may soon use AI cameras to issue tickets automatically to cars parked in bus lanes, which could have a dramatic impact on traffic. 
LA Metro has announced a partnership with the tech company Hayden AI to roll out an initial deployment of 100 cameras.

A metro system, Los Angeles Metro, recently attempted to deploy technology to assist in enforcement of the bus-only lanes on Wilshire Boulevard. 

However, the system ran into state regulations that prevented it from implementing this technology given that it would violate state laws. These cameras are primarily intended to identify and penalize drivers who illegally use bus lanes during specified hours of operation, thereby improving bus operations and ensuring they operate as smoothly and efficiently as possible. 
In a similar way to the system already in place in San Francisco and Washington, DC, which utilizes 100 cameras programmed with artificial intelligence, which are installed within bus windshields, the system will be able to detect offenders who are using the lanes during designated times that are specifically reserved for buses.
