Announcing Francis AI Technologies, Inc. (“Francis AI”) — an artificial intelligence technology company and smart city solutions provider.
Francis AI creates smart city solutions purpose-built for modern traffic conditions and increased urbanization. Their team originates from the autonomous vehicle space with domain experience in deep learning, computer vision, and mapping.
Chris Carson, Co-founder & CEO, Francis AI, introduced the company accordingly: “Our antiquated roads are being choked by modern technology. There’s no integration of the old ways and new, and sadly, it’s not just a matter of being inconvenienced, as citizens are suffering. In the last ten years alone, pedestrian fatalities in urban areas are up by 69%. At Francis AI, we’ve asked ourselves, ‘What can we do to reverse this trend? How can we mitigate congestion while saving lives?’”
The solution is not just more traffic enforcement but smarter, scalable enforcement. Enforcement that integrates. Francis AI has created a platform called Safe Sense consisting of an intelligent camera, smart cloud, HD maps, and a web portal that can be easily accessed by city officials.
Vaibhav Ghadiok, VP of Engineering added, “Francis AI’s mobile perception system that utilize a city’s existing transportation fleet to collect real-time data to support the enforcement of traffic laws. This cost-effective and scalable approach provides 100% coverage of the roads, thus drastically improving traffic safety, eliminating traffic fatalities, and enabeling transportation efficiency.”
In addition to collecting data that supports the enforcement of traffic laws, Francis AI’s system collects rich data for cities to use in parking management, city asset tracking, analysis of traffic patterns, real-time mapping updates, digital curbside management, identifying road and sidewalk hazards, and more.
