HOUSTON (PRWEB)

Currux Vision LLC (“Currux Vision”), the AI-based infrastructure technology solutions company today announced its deployment by the Department of Transportation of the City of St. Cloud, MN to help meet Vision Zero goals and reduce congestion and the associated greenhouse gas emissions.

Currux Vision’s ITMP will automate the current traffic control system using existing infrastructure – cameras, controllers, control center, etc., and provide high-resolution real time data on traffic safety. The system will also monitor the effectiveness and accuracy of the existing vehicle detection system. This solution requires only a small server placed in the server room or the traffic cabinet, connected to power and the network. No Internet access is required.

Currux Vision solutions are designed from the ground up to upgrade legacy transportation infrastructure systems with cutting edge, AI powered autonomous traffic control and traffic safety technology. The Currux Vision Autonomous Signal Control System (“ASCS”) works with the legacy controllers and infrastructure.

“Currux Vision delivers one of the most comprehensive autonomous traffic management platforms available without having to upgrade existing systems. This includes a wide range of Vision Zero capabilities and autonomous real-time prediction of hazardous traffic conditions such as wrong way driver, stopped vehicles, speeding, running red lights and stop signs, parking infringements, and school zone safety. We look forward to working with Blake and the City of St. Cloud to enhance the city transportation network,” said Tom Hoene, VP Regional Sales.

“Deploying this leading-edge technology is a step in implementing the City of St. Cloud’s Vision to achieve concrete benefits in safety, sustainability, economic opportunity, and quality of life for our residents. We look forward to seeing reduced traffic congestion and accidents with connected infrastructure, real time big data analytics and alerts. New AI technologies will create innovative, cost-effective ways to accurately monitor traffic, and provide information that can prevent or reduce congestion and accidents, creating safer roads for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians around the clock,” Blake Redfield, ITS Manager, City of St. Cloud.

“Currux Vision’s mission is to reduce congestion, CO2 emissions, and traffic accidents by designing and deploying state of the art edge and hybrid-cloud based autonomous control systems that can operate at scale and help cities and DoTs move the needle today. We help solve problems that our customers always wanted to solve but didn’t have the suitable technology to do so. As a Texas-based American company, we are proud to advance the science and practice of AI technology and push the limits of what is possible. We are very excited to work with the City of St. Cloud and are thankful for the opportunity to help them,” Alex Colosivschi, Founder and CEO of Currux Vision.

SUMMERLIN, Nev. (PRWEB)

Biometric cybersecurity technology provider, FaceTec, announced today that its 3D Face Authentication Software Platform experienced massive year-over-year increases in all aspects of its usage and commercial operations.

Having already achieved profitability in Q1 of 2020, FaceTec saw a 321% YoY increase in Q1 revenue for 2021 while growing margins, and saw over 1.2 million Liveness sessions conducted per day in April. With more than 65 channel partners globally, and over 15 million new user accounts onboarded every month, FaceTec has now served more than 175 million unique users over the company’s seven-year history.

“Staying ahead of bad actors requires more than just theoretical defenses; we must put our security methods to the test in the real world,” said Kevin Alan Tussy, CEO of FaceTec. “We take direct responsibility for how our AI performs in our customers’ production applications, and have since we first deployed our 3D Face Verification Platform. Our hyper-focus on solving the problems in remote digital identity has not only produced the most secure and easy-to-use face verification available, but 18 months ago we pioneered what is still the only public biometric Spoof Bounty Program in the world. With more than 52,000 rebuffed attacks, the program has provided us with invaluable information, making our solution’s security second to none.”

A large and growing number of global users rely on FaceTec for secure access to their high-value accounts and privileges in banking and finance, border control, online dating, cryptocurrency, e-voting, e-commerce, national IDs, mobile driver licenses, and social networks.

“We are, of course, thrilled to experience this level of growth in our business, but we are also witnessing increased reliance on our software in mission-critical applications. Governments, large financial institutions, multinational corporations with very large user bases – and a lot at stake – are embracing our advanced 3D FaceScan AI,” said Jay Meier, FaceTec’s SVP of North American Operations. “We’ll be making numerous customer announcements over the coming months that will literally change the way remote Identity Verification is done for entire populations. FaceTec has solved the user-authentication problems that have plagued the biometrics industry for decades. As a subject matter expert who has been analyzing biometrics vendors for over 25 years, it’s exciting to watch the Digital Identity landscape change right before our eyes as FaceTec powers security for more and more of the mobile ecosystems that we all rely on.”

The recent FaceTec v9.1 release is one of the most important and beneficial to date. Overall, Liveness algorithm performance has a measured 800% increase over v9.0, and the UX is faster and more intuitive than ever.

“Our proprietary 3D AI provides the highest levels (1-5) of liveness detection available and can accurately match a single individual more than 600% more accurately than any 2D system,” added Tussy. “FaceTec’s accuracy and usability have increased substantially in the past 12 months, and the usage and successful deployments around the world prove it. We also now provide a comprehensive customer dashboard, and free 2D passive liveness checks, 1:N de-duplication, photo ID face matching and anti-spoofing, anonymous age checks, and enhanced session analysis.”

FaceTec achieved elite status in the first-ever report covering Liveness and Identity Proofing Vendors from Acuity Market Intelligence (https://bit.ly/3v1oRXo).

Please note: FaceTec is not seeking outside investment.
