Edge Computing and Sensor Fusion System for Comprehensive Monitoring of Traffic and Road Conditions

In Phase I, AIWaysion successfully developed a working scaled prototype named the Mobile Unit for Sensing Traffic (MUST). MUST is an Edge Computing and Sensor Fusion System for comprehensive traffic and road conditions monitoring. This innovative roadside edge computing device seamlessly integrates a low-power edge computing chip with advanced traffic and environment sensors and other essential components. The prototype system was designed, developed, and tested at three locations, covering both rural and urban environments. Building upon the prototype system developed in Phase I, Phase II will develop the system into a fully functional and commercial-ready product by improving its design and functionality and ensuring compliance with DOT standards. Phase II will expand collaboration efforts with a wider range of agencies and conduct field testing in both urban and rural areas covering a variety of environmental conditions to ensure the product's versatility and effectiveness. By conducting more field tests, the system will be able to adapt to different scenarios, circumstances, and customer needs, which will make it more robust. Additionally, the data collected during the field test will be used to improve the system's performance by fine-tuning the AI-algorithms and models.
