Artificial intelligence and car-sharing

23 June 2020 - Events - France

France’s new Mobility Orientation Act (LOM in French) encourages carpooling, and Cyclope.ai (VINCI Autoroutes) is developing new image processing technology that detects the number of occupants in vehicles using reserved carpooling lanes, whether they are seated in the back or front of the car, and travelling by day or night.

This deep-learning based solution is currently being tested on the A7 motorway at Lançon-de-Provence, southern France. As part of its low-carbon motorway programme, VINCI Autoroutes plans to offer metropolises this technology for their ring road connections.
