Obvio.ai: Smarter Tools for Safer Roads

Why Better Monitoring Is Needed

Unsafe driving leads to many crashes each year. Common issues include speeding, running red lights, and failing to stop at stop signs or crosswalks. Most cities use cameras or manual checks to catch these behaviors, but those systems don’t work all the time or in every location.

What’s often missing is a way to see what’s really happening on the roads, all the time, not just now and then.

What Obvio.ai Does

Obvio.ai is a system that watches how drivers move through roads and intersections. It uses AI to review video from street cameras and spot risky actions.

Some behaviors it can detect include:

• Running red lights
• Not stopping at stop signs
• Speeding
• Ignoring pedestrians
• Unsafe lane changes

The system runs in real time. It doesn’t wait for someone to check the footage later. Instead, it can recognize a risky move as it happens and log that event.

How the System Works

Here’s how Obvio.ai captures and processes the data:

1. Cameras record video near intersections or other busy spots
2. AI scans the video and looks for unsafe driving patterns
3. If something risky happens, the system saves a short clip with the time and location
4. All events are stored in a secure system for review and analysis

The system focuses only on driving behavior. It does not store personal information, such as faces or license plate numbers, unless needed for a confirmed event.

Why This Data Is Useful

The data collected by Obvio.ai gives cities a clearer view of how people actually drive. It highlights where risky behaviors happen most often and shows patterns that might not be obvious through manual checks. For example, officials can see whether drivers are stopping at new crosswalks, how they respond to updated traffic signals, or whether certain intersections need better design.

This kind of insight helps planners and safety teams decide where to make changes, where to place signs, or where to adjust enforcement. Over time, they can also measure whether those changes are working.

Where Obvio.ai Fits In

Obvio.ai works well in areas where traffic monitoring already exists, like intersections with cameras. But it can also be set up in new locations where safety concerns are growing, or data is limited.

It’s especially useful in places with high pedestrian activity or frequent incidents, near schools, busy crossings, public transport hubs, shopping centers, or roads with a history of crashes. Because it runs continuously, it provides a full picture of how drivers behave throughout the day, without needing extra staff on site.
