Powered by AI, the Conduent DriveSafe^® Enforcement System uses sensors to detect and track vehicles through a particular location, such as in a school or construction zone or along a highway. The speed and position of each vehicle at that location is monitored to detect if a violation occurs, as determined by local laws.

Independent studies, including , show these programs can improve the safety of communities. Conduent provides the software, hardware and video analytics, as well as back-office operations, to make such programs successful.
