MONTR\u00c9AL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The City of Montr\u00e9al is deploying Derq\u2019s AI-powered INSIGHT as part of its citywide Safety and Mobility Analysis System at Intersections (SASMI), enabling the city\u2019s transportation teams to proactively monitor roadway safety, identify risk patterns, and improve traffic flow across its large multimodal network. The deployment is being delivered in partnership with Tacel Ltd., Derq\u2019s Canadian distribution partner for intelligent transportation solutions.<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>

\nAs part of this deployment, Montr\u00e9al is rolling out Derq INSIGHT across 100 intersections\u2014one of the largest North American deployments to date\u2014positioning the city to expand the platform across its broader network over time.<\/p>

\n\u201cAt Montr\u00e9al, the safety of all road users is an absolute priority. The deployment of artificial intelligence solutions marks a strategic shift toward more proactive mobility management, enabling us to anticipate risks, respond more quickly, and, ultimately, save lives, while positioning the City as a leader in innovation,\u201d said Alan DeSousa<\/b>, Borough Mayor, responsible for mobility and infrastructure.<\/p>

\nThe INSIGHT<\/a> platform provides transportation teams with real-time visibility into roadway activity and emerging safety risks, helping them identify patterns earlier and respond faster to improve safety outcomes.<\/p>

\n\u201cThis project demonstrates how innovation, driven by the intelligent use of data, can improve daily life for Montr\u00e9alers. By taking full advantage of real-time data, we are strengthening our ability to analyze issues on the ground and better target interventions where they can have the greatest impact,\u201d said Alexandre Teodoresco<\/b>, City Councillor, responsible for optimization, municipal performance, and innovation.<\/p>

\n\u201cCities have traditionally relied on fragmented, historical reports and limited data to understand roadway safety and traffic performance,\u201d said Karl Jeanbart,<\/b> COO and Co-Founder of Derq. \u201cMontr\u00e9al is taking a more proactive approach by using AI to produce granular traffic intelligence and provide real-time decision support across its transportation network. As founders from Montr\u00e9al, we\u2019re especially proud to support the city in advancing this work.\u201d<\/p>

\nTacel, a longstanding partner of the City of Montr\u00e9al on intelligent transportation systems, is supporting the project's implementation and facilitating Derq\u2019s deployment across the city.<\/p>

\n\u201cTransportation agencies are under growing pressure to make faster, more informed decisions across increasingly complex transportation networks,\u201d said Yassine Benamghar<\/b>, Vice President at Tacel. \u201cMontr\u00e9al\u2019s deployment of Derq demonstrates how real-time safety intelligence can respond more quickly to emerging roadway risks.\u201d<\/p>
