Derq Information

Derq is an AI-powered intelligent transportation company helping agencies improve safety and optimize traffic flow for all road users. An MIT spinoff founded in 2016, Derq's award-winning technology is deployed across the U.S., Canada, and the GCC region, with 23 patents and global recognition from leaders in AI and mobility. Unlike most systems, Derq’s hardware-agnostic, scalable platform integrates with existing infrastructure—from video sensors to traffic signals—to detect, track, classify, and predict road user behavior in real time with high accuracy. Its flagship products, Derq SENSE: Traffic Detection, Derq INSIGHT: Traffic and Safety Analytics, and Derq SENSE: V2X, help agencies analyze road user movements and behaviors, identify safety hotspots, and assess traffic signal timing performance to better manage traffic flow and prevent collisions involving pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. Proven results include a 33% reduction in crashes in Sarasota, Florida, with one intersection experiencing a 90% decrease, and 99.83% vehicle detection accuracy in all lighting conditions as certified by the Florida DOT. Derq partners with state DOTs, Vision Zero-aligned cities, and transportation agencies, and is backed by investors AT&T and e&, with technology alliances including NVIDIA and Intel.
