Distancia2 is a platform that uses urban video cameras and AI algorithms to detect people and measure the distance between them in cities in Latin America and the Caribbean. Developed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, this tool uses existing video infrastructure to improve public health management by monitoring social distancing, also offering the possibility of adapting the models for specific uses such as detection of use of masks.
Distance2 addresses the critical need to monitor and manage social distancing during pandemics such as COVID-19, using AI technology to analyze compliance in real time and in different environments, essential for the prevention and control of infectious diseases.
Geospatial Analysis: Distancia2 leverages geospatial data to analyze transportation infrastructure, including road networks, public transit systems, and traffic patterns. Route Optimization: The platform offers route optimization tools, helping transportation planners find the most efficient and sustainable routes for infrastructure projects. Environmental Impact Assessment: Users can assess the environmental impact of transportation projects, aiding in compliance with environmental regulations and sustainability goals. Data Integration: Distancia2 can integrate with various data sources, including GIS data, traffic data, and environmental data, providing a comprehensive view of transportation projects. Scenario Planning: Planners can create and evaluate different scenarios to understand the potential outcomes and trade-offs of various infrastructure decisions. Visualization: The platform includes data visualization tools to communicate findings and recommendations effectively. Customization: Distancia2 is highly customizable, allowing government institutions to adapt it to their unique transportation planning needs. Open Source: Being open source encourages collaboration and ongoing development, ensuring that the tool remains adaptable to evolving transportation challenges.
Leverages Python and Tensorflow to enhance artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. Utilizes Django as a web framework, ensuring a robust and scalable structure.
