New AI technology will allow Metro buses to spot bus lane violators and report to traffic enforcement
“A brand new artificial intelligence powered system will allow cameras on Metro buses to target and ticket drivers illegally using bus lanes in Los Angeles.
The system, similar to those already in place in San Francisco and Washington, DC, which will use 100 cameras programmed with AI technology placed in bus windshields, will specifically be looking for offenders using the lanes during posted times where they’re specifically supposed to be for bus use.
“We’ve told the system using AI that if a vehicle is parked in a certain location, then the image of that vehicle should be captured,” said Charles Territo, with Hayden AI, the driving force behind the programming. “An image of that license plate should be captured.”
At that point, the images will be sent to parking enforcement for review, but only for bus lane and bus stop violations.
The program comes as a result of a bill passed by California lawmakers in 2021.”
