Creating intelligent city streets in Philadelphia Navy Yard with AWS Partner Rekor Systems
In 2022, the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) initiated a pilot project to analyze traffic patterns and provide analytics within the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The PIDC is Philadelphia’s public-private economic development corporation and master developer of the historic shipyard, which is now a thriving, mixed-use campus.
The PIDC had many objectives to consider when researching technology for this project. One of their key goals was to gain greater visibility into the impact that road closures and construction have on mobility and learn how to improve mobility during significant projects and events. Additionally, they were looking to strengthen the Navy Yard’s ability to understand the volume and traffic flow of car carriers or other large vehicles and quantify the impact of speed-mitigating devices deployed across hazardous stretches of roadway. Lastly, the PIDC wanted to address public safety issues related to speeding and collisions, and decrease damage to their property.
After much research, PIDC employed Rekor Systems, Inc. (Rekor) to bring this pilot project to fruition. Rekor is a global artificial intelligence (AI) technology company and an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Public Sector Partner with a mission to provide insights that build safer, smarter, and more efficient cities worldwide through intelligent infrastructure.
