The City of Las Vegas has awarded a $1.5m tender to Australian artificial intelligence (AI) solutions provider SenSen Networks to provide a range of intelligent transportation and smart city solutions.

In a statement, SenSen said its technology will be used to assist the city of Las Vegas in keeping roads safe and congestion-free by automating the enforcement of hundreds of bylaws associated with regulating traffic and parking on city streets.

Parking enforcement units

Due to be rolled out later this year, the deployment will include two SenForce mobile parking enforcement units and 80 of its Gemineye mobile units, an AI-powered smartphone app.

Using SenForce, a parking officer drives a vehicle fitted with the SenSen system with all zones and parking rules (time and permit based) preloaded with automatic synchronisation with SenSen’s cloud-hosted back-office software SenBOS.

The solution includes a weather-proof Thule luggage box mounted on roof racks capable being switched from one vehicle to other in less than 10 minutes.
