About LENS

LENS is working to eliminate traffic accidents by identifying danger early and stopping incidents before they occur. Its technology monitors CCTV footage from highways in real time to spot hazards before they turn into crashes.

Platform and product

LENS Detect analyzes highway CCTV streams and flags risks such as disabled vehicles, stalled large trucks, and pedestrians on freeways. Public safety teams and transportation departments receive alerts in the LENS Detect dashboard. A dispatcher confirms the alert and sends an officer to help, which can prevent an accident or save a life.

CBS LA has also featured the work LENS is doing with public safety agencies in a short television segment about AI-driven accident prevention.
