The RTC, together with the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) and Nevada DOT (NDOT), launched an artificial intelligence (A.I.) project on one of the busiest sections of I-15 with technology company Waycare in 2018. Waycare’s A.I. platform and real-time data analysis enables detection of significantly more traffic crashes, facilitating faster validation and reducing emergency response times. Typically, law enforcement or drivers would have to call in a crash. Waycare eliminates the gap between dialing 911 or 311 and dispatching help. When every second counts, Waycare reports crash locations in real time. This is done by analyzing data from a variety of sources, including in-vehicle navigation devices, roadside traffic detectors, the Waze app, and other telematics providers. In fact, Waycare’s technology is expected to generate more data than all road sensors generate in Las Vegas today.
