Derq — AI for Government & Smart Cities

For government agencies aiming to build safer, smarter cities, Derq offers a direct path to upgrading traffic infrastructure without a complete hardware overhaul. As an MIT spinoff founded in 2016, its core strength lies in a hardware-agnostic platform that layers patented AI onto your existing cameras and sensors. This turns passive video feeds into a proactive safety network. Derq’s system uses computer vision and sensor fusion to detect, track, and, most importantly, predict the intent of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. This capability powers its two flagship solutions: Derq SENSE, for real-time collision alerts and V2X messaging, and Derq INSIGHT, for analyzing safety hotspots and traffic patterns. With 20 patents and successful deployments in major projects for the NJDOT and the city of Montréal, the technology is field-proven. Furthermore, its SOC 2 Type II compliance assures agencies that data is handled with the highest standards of security and privacy, a critical requirement for public infrastructure projects.
