Small intersections are becoming a new focus for innovation as agencies look for practical ways to expand visibility and improve performance without overhauling infrastructure. In this live panel, hear how agencies are rethinking detection, seeing all four corners of the intersection, and unlocking more from the assets they already have.
During the session, we will also introduce VantageNode™, a new AI-powered, single-mount detection solution designed specifically for constrained intersections, and share early insights from agencies already deploying it in the field.
