Tallahassee, FL (October 22, 2024) – Kyra Solutions’ IntelliRoad Division is a leader in real-time traffic safety technology. Today the company announced that its state-of-the-art Wrong Way Detection System has been added to the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Approved Products List (APL). This approval, achieved through the Product Application and Tracking History (PATH) program, represents a major milestone for the company and follows years of rigorous evaluation.
The system is designed to help prevent catastrophic accidents by detecting vehicles traveling in the wrong direction. Using advanced LiDAR technology, AI-driven analytics, and a scalable platform, the system provides real-time alerts to traffic operators, dynamic message signs, connected vehicles, and navigation providers. These immediate notifications allow traffic management centers to respond quickly, reducing the risks associated with wrong-way driving, one of the most dangerous hazards on highways.
The FDOT approval process for the system involved comprehensive product testing under various environmental conditions at the FDOT Traffic Engineering Research Lab (TERL). The system was evaluated to ensure it meets strict safety and performance standards, including ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Certification and NEMA certification. FDOT engineers also conducted site visits to inspect IntelliRoad’s facilities, reviewing operational processes and verifying the system’s reliability and quality.
“We are proud to contribute to making our country’s roadways safer and saving lives with our LiDAR-based Wrong Way Driving Detection system,” said Sean Poole, President of IntelliRoad, a Division of Kyra Solutions. “With superior accuracy and fewer false positives compared to traditional camera-based solutions, our technology ensures timely and reliable alerts, helping to prevent accidents and keep motorists safe.”
The Wrong Way Detection System is part of the company’s IntelliConnect platform, which offers a suite of real-time traffic safety and mobility solutions. Through integration with a variety of roadside devices, such as lidars, cameras, sensors, and dynamic message signs, IntelliConnect delivers vital, real-time information to traffic operators and motorists.
