Advanced video analytics technology delivers real-time traffic insights, helping the city to provide the community smoother commutes and safer streets
PHILADELPHIA – August 12, 2024 – Comcast Smart Solutions, a division of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA, news, filings) that specializes in smart technology solutions for businesses and communities, today announced that it is expanding its relationship with the City of College Park (College Park), Georgia with AI-powered video analytics in its downtown area. This technology will provide valuable data and insights, informing plans for more efficient traffic, local business growth, and more.
Established in 1890, College Park has been steadfast in its mission to cultivate a community where businesses, families, and individuals can work, play, and live in a better environment. College Park began its collaboration with Comcast Smart Solutions in 2022 to upgrade the city’s public WiFi network and help the city monitor a heavily trafficked area. The city is once again partnering with Comcast Smart Solutions to introduce more advanced video analytics on its Main Street.
College Park’s bustling Main Street – a hub of shops, restaurants, and green spaces, is now equipped with advanced AI video analytics solutions from C2RO. The deployment was made even more cost effective by easily integrating into existing camera infrastructure. The city will use vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic analytics to inform and help improve flow and path patterns. Metrics will be shared with local businesses and inform city growth plans.
“College Park’s successful initial deployment with our advanced video analytics solutions has led them to expand into its vibrant Main Street,” said Mike Slovin, Vice President and General Manager of Comcast Smart Solutions. “We’re excited to continue our close partnership and showcase how Comcast Smart Solutions helps cities operate smarter and safer, benefiting residents and businesses alike.”
With the addition of these smart video solutions, College Park’s existing cameras on Main Street are now delivering real-time insights on vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, including their speeds. This smart system seamlessly integrates with a cloud app, making it easy for the city to access real-time views of traffic patterns and trends that enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety.
“Through the partnership with Comcast Smart Solutions, we have transformed our downtown area into a more appealing place for residents and visitors alike,” said Michael Hicks, Chief Information Officer of College Park, Georgia. “The data-driven insights from their smart technology have been crucial in helping us enhance our city services. We’ve seen promising improvements, which empowers us to allocate resources effectively and better serve our community.”
College Park’s partnership with Comcast Smart Solutions goes beyond the technology. The city received comprehensive project management, installation oversight, and training. Comcast Smart Solutions is also providing ongoing data analysis and has a dedicated team for support.
