‘Te pandemic has brought about changes to road and pavement use... Data insights provide the ability to analyse it’

single camera and radar unit on each side of the bus, plus two internal displays for the driver; Fusion Processing’s AI algorithms identify cyclists. Each unit can be fitted at the external mirror location of most buses using the same or similar mounting bolt pattern. Te system achieves the low latency


required by EU regulation #46, to provide the video stream in real-time, and superimposes images onto the display screens, warning if cyclists and pedestrians get too close to the vehicle. Te CycleEye CMS replaces the wing


mirrors, which in itself has a lot of benefits including eliminating mirror head strikes that can occur when pedestrians are too close to buses and trucks. ‘Te head strikes are a real issue for the industry,’ Fleming said.


‘Tere are more and more standards out


there, so safety engineering has become even more important. It’s not just about understanding sensors,’ he added. Designing a system such as this must


also take longevity into consideration, particularly when it is used in the kind of conditions faced on London’s roads. It has to be able to withstand all weather conditions, along with aspects such as being put through a bus wash every day, Fleming explained. In the future, Fleming foresees vision technology finding its way more often


A smart city pilot study in London is helping support crowd management when lockdown restrictions are eased


into the areas of driver assistance and autonomous driving. He said that providing technology for autonomous vehicles is a huge area for Fusion Processing, as is helping drivers identify vulnerable road users. ‘Look out for autonomous buses in the future,’ he said. In a similar vein, London-based Vivacity


Labs is providing its AI and Internet of Tings technology to help London’s Sutton and Kingston Councils improve active travel insight and, ultimately, the safety of pedestrians in high footfall areas. But rather than accidents, this project aims to keep people safe if they need to travel during lockdown. Te work falls under the InnOvaTe


project, an initiative funded by the Strategic Investment Pot as part of the London Councils Business Rates Retention scheme.


‘With each frame of video deleted immediately after processing, only anonymous data is extracted’


Te funding will allow the boroughs involved to deliver a multi-purpose Internet of Tings platform, connecting various sensors across borough boundaries. Tis is being used to gain new data insights to support and drive economic growth and create a safer environment across the sub- region.


Te pilot study recognises the cultural


shift created by the pandemic, resulting in a dramatic drop in traffic levels, so residents feel safer on the roads when they are taking their daily exercise or making essential trips. But, as the world begins to return to some sort of normality, the study can anonymously support crowd management, monitoring the impact of road and pavement changes and reducing the infection risk for residents with better management of high footfall areas.
