Orchestra CALM enabling Smarter Infrastructure and Safer Streets

Discover how CTHINGS.CO's Orchestra CALM powers life-saving solutions.

Orchestra is at the heart of a wide range of innovative use cases, including the Valmont Smart Crossing solution, which transforms traditional infrastructure into a smart, responsive system that enhances pedestrian safety. 

At the core of this solution, Orchestra CALM runs machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) on edge computing devices embedded in the smart pole, enabling real-time video analytics for pedestrian detection.

When a camera (or motion sensor) detects pedestrians approaching the crossing, the lights mounted on the pole begin flashing to alert drivers to slow down and prepare for a pedestrian crossing. This simple yet effective solution can prevent accidents and improve overall road safety.

CTHINGS.CO provides the backbone through the Orchestra platform to seamlessly manage and integrate these edge devices, enabling real-time safety measures and seamless coordination of smart technologies.

With our soon-to-be-launched rule engine, Orchestra will enable even more sophisticated event-triggered responses. This means that any detection (whether a pedestrian, vehicle, or other event) can trigger tailored actions to further enhance safety and efficiency on the road.

We’re helping create safer, more efficient environments across industries by enabling companies like Valmont to deliver smarter infrastructure solutions.
