Landshut, Germany – [November 2024] – Peregrine.ai, a pioneering force in AI-powered vision solutions, has deployed its state-of-the-art 5-SAFE system to revolutionize traffic safety in school zones. Designed and developed in collaboration with T-Systems, Landshut University of Applied Science, and the City of Landshut, and backed by Germany’s 5G Initiative and the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), this transformative project harnesses the power of AI and 5G to set a new benchmark in urban safety.
Smart, Adaptive, and Privacy-Centric Safety in Real-Time
At the core of 5-SAFE is Peregrine.ai’s sophisticated edge-based computer vision technology, meticulously engineered to identify and respond to critical safety risks in real time. Leveraging 5G-enabled sensors and dynamic, adaptive traffic signage, the system proactively monitors pedestrian and vehicular activity, triggering alerts only when genuine risks are detected. This dynamic response reduces driver desensitization to warnings, enhancing attention precisely when it’s needed most.
In a groundbreaking enhancement, 5-SAFE includes a 24/7 cyclist protection feature that alerts right-turning vehicles to approaching cyclists—a safety innovation that extends beyond traditional school hours to safeguard vulnerable road users around the clock.
“Our mission is to redefine urban safety standards through AI and edge computing,” said Philip Meier, Head of Project Delivery and Partnerships at Peregrine.ai. “With 5-SAFE, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in real-time safety, providing precision intelligence that’s adaptive, scalable, and inherently privacy-first.”
Engineered for Privacy and Agility
Peregrine.ai’s 5-SAFE system is designed with a relentless focus on privacy and hardware agility. Utilizing NVIDIA’s TensorRT for high-speed, on-edge processing, all data is anonymized directly within the camera, ensuring that no personal information is stored or transmitted offsite. This approach not only guarantees GDPR compliance but also removes latency issues, making 5-SAFE a lightning-fast, privacy-secure solution for modern urban environments.
The system’s hardware-agnostic architecture is another major innovation, allowing seamless integration across a range of platforms—from mobile dash cams to stationary infrastructure. This adaptability means that 5-SAFE can be deployed in diverse settings, from school zones to high-traffic intersections, without the need for costly infrastructure overhauls.
A Model of Cross-Sector Collaboration for the Future of Smart Cities
The success of 5-SAFE is a testament to the power of collaboration. T-Systems’ expertise in 5G infrastructure, combined with Peregrine.ai’s AI innovations and academic support from Landshut University, has created a model of forward-thinking public-private partnership. This project underscores the potential of cross-sector collaboration to drive impactful change in urban safety.
“This partnership exemplifies how technology and collaboration can elevate urban safety to new heights,” said a project team member. “Together, we’ve created a system that’s not only transformative for school zones but has the potential to redefine safety in smart cities worldwide.”
The Future of 5-SAFE: Expanding AI Safety Solutions Across Urban Landscapes
While 5-SAFE is tailored for school zones, Peregrine.ai envisions a broader role for this technology within smart cities. With its hardware-agnostic, edge-based design, 5-SAFE is primed for applications in urban traffic flow optimization, pedestrian safety enhancement, and intelligent response systems. This AI-powered platform is built to evolve, enabling cities to adapt to emerging safety challenges without compromising privacy or agility.
“5-SAFE is more than a school zone safety tool—it’s a strategic blueprint for the next generation of urban infrastructure,” added Philip. “As cities look to create safer, more adaptive environments, Peregrine.ai stands ready to lead with intelligent, privacy-focused solutions that redefine what’s possible.”
