NEW YORK, NY — Digital Sense, with a proud trajectory of over 15 years and experience in custom AI and computer vision solutions, is proud to announce the successful completion of a strategic pilot collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) and Newlab.

The initiative focused on developing and running a pilot on novel solutions to automate the monitoring of city infrastructure. Utilizing modern edge computing and sophisticated machine learning models, Digital Sense deployed an autonomous system on an NYC DOT emergency response vehicle to detect regulatory speed signs and identify streetlight outages across the city.
