Design decisions we make on purpose
These are the choices that decide whether a pilot survives its second winter.
Compute where the data is created
A crosswalk camera produces roughly 40 GB a day. Sending that to a cloud region is expensive and adds a dependency on a link that a road authority does not control. Our default is to detect on the terminal and transmit events measured in kilobytes.
Power from the sun when there is no cable
Most retrofit sites cannot be trenched without closing a lane or digging up a finished surface. Solar plus a battery pack sized for seven days of low irradiance removes that civil works line from the budget entirely.
Open interfaces, not a closed appliance
Every deployment has to hand data to someone else's platform — a city dashboard, a SCADA system, a maintenance contractor. Closed appliances win the tender and lose the integration. Ours expose documented APIs from day one.
Firmware we can update remotely
A device on a gantry 6 metres above a carriageway is not something you want to visit for a bug fix. Over-the-air updates with rollback are standard across the range.
