With the dramatic shift in technology in communities across the globe, specifically increasingly complex traffic networks, the ability to detect and respond to incidents in real-time can make the difference between life and death. Lanternn by Valerann™ (LbV), an advanced data analytics engine for traffic management, demonstrates the power of cutting-edge technology in improving road safety and efficiency.
The Technology Behind Lanternn by Valerann™
At the core of LbV’s effectiveness is its sophisticated data analytics engine, which empowers road and network operators to harness diverse mobility data for better decision-making. Key features include:
• Data Fusion and AI Integration: By integrating real-time and historic data, LbV delivers reliable insights about road conditions and potential risks.
• Incident Detection and Alerting: LbV provides timely and accurate notifications about traffic events, ensuring swift responses.
• Comprehensive Traffic Monitoring: Insights on traffic flow, accident risks, weather conditions, and infrastructure context enable operators to take proactive measures.
• Resource Optimization: Real-time monitoring of patrol locations, CCTV cameras, and other resources ensures efficient management of incidents.
By employing advanced machine learning algorithms, LbV offers a holistic view of road networks, enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Whether integrated into existing Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) or used as a standalone solution, Lanternn by Valerann™ transforms how operators manage and respond to road incidents.
LbV in Action: To the Minute Life-Saving Solutions
Valerann recently encountered two incidents along transportation routes that we serve where LbV played a critical role in identifying emergencies, enabling swift response, and ultimately saving lives. Below we have provided these important stories and how LbV helped to save lives.
Incident 1: Rapid Detection and Response Saves a Life
On a recent morning, a Waze alert at 9:28am reported unexpected congestion on a motorway, indicating a build-up of vehicles near a bridge. Within seconds, LbV classified the event as an incident, leveraging its sophisticated data fusion capabilities.
By 9:29am, LbV had alerted the operator prompting a response, based on processed data from a vast array of sources, including:
● 1,763 Waze alerts
● 65 reports from its Traffic Fusion service
● 100 HERE alerts
● Hundreds of other real-time data points
This rapid aggregation and analysis allowed LbV to immediately raise an alert. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the congestion was due to an individual attempting to take their own life. Thanks to the prompt response by the road operator and emergency services, the individual was assisted in time, ultimately saving their life.
Incident 2: Proactive Hazard Identification Prevents Tragedy
In a similar incident at a separate location, LbV detected another potential crisis. A Waze alert flagged an unexpected traffic build-up, followed by a surge of reports indicating significant congestion. LvB identified the situation as a potential hazard and informed the road operator.
Recognizing the unusual activity, the operator initiated an investigation and discovered an individual attempting to take their own life on the road, a timely intervention that ultimately saved their life. This incident highlights the solution's capability to detect and respond to critical situations before they escalate into tragedies.
Impact on Users, Operators, and the Public
For road users, LbV means safer journeys, faster emergency responses, and reduced risks. For operators, it enables better resource allocation, data-driven decision-making, and compliance with safety objectives. For the general public, it contributes to a safer, more reliable, and more sustainable transportation network.
Lanternn by Valerann™ exemplifies how innovative technology can revolutionize traffic management. Its ability to detect, analyze, and respond to incidents in real-time has already saved lives and prevented potential tragedies. As the transportation landscape grows more complex, solutions like LbV will continue to play an essential role in ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability on our roads.
Through its powerful integration of AI, data fusion, and real-time analytics, Lanternn by Valerann™ is paving the way for smarter and safer mobility.
