Derq

Derq is an MIT spinoff (founded 2016, with operations in Dubai and Detroit) building AI-powered intelligent transportation systems that help cities, departments of transportation, and infrastructure operators prevent crashes and improve traffic flow. Its hardware-agnostic platform ingests data from video cameras, radar, LiDAR, signal controllers, and connected/V2X infrastructure, then runs real-time edge computer vision and machine learning to detect, track, and predict the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Derq surfaces safety and traffic intelligence — crashes, near misses, violations, conflicts, counts, and ATSPMs — through its dashboard and via APIs to third-party systems. Flagship products include Derq SENSE (real-time traffic detection and V2X perception) and Derq INSIGHT (road safety and traffic management analytics).

Derq is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Intelligent Transportation, Road Safety, Traffic Analytics, and Computer Vision.

Derq’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, YouTube channel, and 4 more developer resources.
