Design Specifications

Derq is a system relying on Artificial Intelligence and V2X (Vehicle to Everything) to increase road safety. The system relies on the network of roadside cameras to predict pedestrian and car behaviour. The cameras equipped with sensors would be placed at roadsides and at busy junctions. They could then scan for poor driving and high speed. The system would collect all these data. Derq’s patented technology uses the data to send an early-warning or alert message about the danger from other vehicles to drivers of cars in the network, such as sensing when a driver at an intersection would run a red light. The system would then alert other drivers in a 2 s time lapse.
