| Vivacity's goal is to introduce the missing pieces of the digital infrastructure underlying its transport systems. Vivacity is empowering transport managers to take the next step in reducing congestion and improving safety on the roads, through providing unprecedented insight. Vivacity wants to make those transport managers omniscient.Toachieve this, Vivacity is installing thousands of sensors across the UK, including creating the UK's first transport-focused smart city in Milton Keynes, as the first step in this journey to revolutionize the way data is collected. Each sensor uses the same technology being built into driverless vehicles, based on machine learning and artificial intelligence on video feeds, in order to gather a level of data that has never been available before.Using this data, Vivacity is building advanced predictive algorithms to give deep insights into what's going to happen next in the transport system, again using machine learning in order to pre-empt the future. | $8.5M / Venture - Series Unknown / Feb 16, 2023 | ||
