The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has launched automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement with bus-mounted technology from Hayden AI, a provider of vision AI technology. It is part of the City of Chicago’s Smart Streets initiative to improve traffic safety, enhance protections for people walking and biking, and speed up public transportation.

Chicago is the tenth major US city to deploy Hayden AI’s technology to detect parking violations that affect safety and obstruct bus lanes, bus stops, and bike lanes.

Hayden AI’s bus-mounted technology identifies instances of potential parking violations while the bus is moving. All violations are reviewed by the City of Chicago before penalties are issued.

“Everyone deserves a safe, reliable, and on-time ride. We’re honoured to be part of Chicago’s important mission to make streets safer with new technology,” said Marty Beard, CEO of Hayden AI.
