Velo AI to equip local bike share fleet with sensors as part of DOT program to improve road safety

We're excited to share that Velo has been awarded funding as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation Complete Streets AI Initiative aimed at leveraging technology to responsibly deploy artificial intelligence solutions that prioritize safety, comfort, and connectivity. The project will be led by a core team of Velo, The Ehrlichman Group, Carnegie Mellon University’s Mobility Analytics Center and local bike share partner, POGOH.

Eliminating conflict with motor vehicles is the most effective means of protecting bicyclists, and the combination of crash data and near-miss observations can be an effective means of understanding where new road infrastructure is needed. We believe our technology can help reimagine the future of smart mobility and make streets safer for everyone.
