Drag Racing Audio and Vibration Detection for BID’s and Municipalities
With emptier streets due to COVID, BID's and municipalities are facing an old menace from the past: Drag Racing.
The sounds of revving engines and screeching tires have become a nightly occurrence across BID and cities, scrabbling already taxed police departments to conduct nightly radar patrols. In larger municipalities with gunshot sound detections, revving engines have caused a series of false positive, draining additional police resources.
BID's and Muni's have traditionally painted white lines and put low-speed bumps to address the speeding issues; they can cause damage to vehicles; however, they increase emergency response time, and increase traffic noise. Speeding cameras are also not easily scalable.
A better solution is to install affordable audio and vibration sensors in known racing corridors, which can signal and detect on-going racing. Leveraged with A.I. vehicle license detection cameras, sensors can provide a comprehensive deterrent. And unlike speed bumps, the sensors can serve multiple functions. Understanding road vibration is informative for cities to allocate capital and assessment dollars (road repairs), while audio data points provide insight into overall noise quality.
Over the past ten years, Sky Packets has provided turnkey solutions like Wi-Fi, Private LTE, and, yes, sensors. As BID's and cities face new challenges and shifting budgets, sensors can plan a crucial role in adding value to your main street while reducing overall operational costs
