Derq develops AI-powered intelligent transportation systems that detect, track, and predict road user behavior in real time. Founded in 2016 as an MIT spinoff, the company combines computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion to deliver accurate insights across varying weather and lighting conditions. Its hardware-agnostic platform integrates with existing city infrastructure to improve road safety and optimise traffic flow for all road users.
The company has secured 20 patents and deployed its technology live across 17 U.S. states, Canada, and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Derq works with transportation departments, including those in Detroit, to implement its systems at scale. The platform's ability to operate reliably in diverse environmental conditions addresses a critical challenge in deploying intelligent transportation systems across different geographies and climates.
The organisation focuses on eliminating road fatalities and advancing smart city infrastructure through its deployments. Its technology has earned recognition from AI and mobility leaders globally, positioning it as a substantive player in the intelligent transportation systems sector rather than a speculative venture.
