Revolutionizing School Zone Safety

with MOBOTIX and Stop for Kids

Every day, parents and educators face the anxiety of navigating congested streets and unpredictable drivers. The rising incidents of traffic violations in school zones only add to this concern, leaving communities in a constant state of worry. Stop for Kids, in partnership with MOBOTIX, has implemented an innovative AI-based solution that detects stop-sign violations.

Initial Challenges

Stop for Kids had three specific requirements when looking for a camera manufacturer:

  • Enhance the readability of license plates with real-time reporting.
  • Capture and accurately document contextual data such as car color, license plate details, and additional environmental factors.
  • Adapt to constantly changing conditions like different state plates, lighting, and weather conditions.

Implementing the Solution

After identifying their requirements, Stop for Kids collaborated closely with MOBOTIX to develop and implement the ideal camera system. MOBOTIX cameras were selected for their robustness, high-resolution imaging, and advanced AI capabilities. These cameras were strategically placed in school zones, equipped to handle the dynamic and often challenging environments they would monitor daily.

Key Outcomes

  • Improved Compliance: Prior to the installation, only about 3 out of every of 100 cars complied with stop signs in the targeted school zones. Post-installation, compliance soared to about 95 out of every 100 cars.
  • Enhanced Safety: The initiative significantly boosted safety in residential and school zones, reducing traffic violations and improving driver behavior.
  • World’s First AI-Based Stop Sign Enforcement: The program marked a pioneering step with the world’s first AI-based camera enforcement for stop signs, surpassing competitors who relied on less effective radar-based systems.

Stop for Kids has drastically reduced traffic violations and enhanced the safety of children in critical areas. Its offender-funded model also ensures there is no cost to municipalities or taxpayers. This initiative not only underscores Stop for Kids’ commitment to protecting the well-being of students but also highlights their role as pioneers in employing AI for traffic enforcement.
