Violations at intersections, including non-compliance with a red light signal, are among Europe's most common causes of traffic accidents. According to data by the European Transport Safety Council, fatalities on European roads have more than halved since 2000, but the number of severe injuries and deaths caused by traffic accidents remains higher than the EU's target.

In response to this situation, LMT has built a GDPR-compliant AI-powered traffic monitoring solution that minimally interferes with existing road infrastructure and uses readily available resources. It can be installed in a matter of hours without construction and only requires an electrical connection.

LMT's solution uses a PANORAMIC camera paired with computer vision technology to analyse everything it sees in the video frame, then sends the metadata to the cloud. The cloud's algorithm sifts through the data and detects an occurrence of a red light offence. This information can further be used for detecting and prosecuting the violators and addressing the problem to help reduce such infringements in the first place.

The European Union’s Vision Zero – no fatalities and severe injuries on European roads by 2050 – stands to benefit from implementing such solutions as the traffic monitoring solution by LMT.
