Using AI to create pedestrian-friendly, efficient cities.

Roundabout Technologies provides an AI-powered traffic signal control system that uses computer vision and commodity cameras to create a real-time 3D map of intersections, simulates signal states, and selects the one that minimizes wait times. The product targets cities and traffic engineers and aims to reduce congestion, improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, and prioritize buses and emergency vehicles without specialized hardware or large-scale studies.
