About

A.D Knight is an Israeli startup focused on enhancing road safety and traffic control by utilizing mobile phones and connected devices for passive data collection. Their technology provides services to municipalities, road operators, train operators, departments of transportation (DOTs), and asset owners to improve road safety and traffic monitoring. The company's novel sensor detects personal devices such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, and V2X, measuring their positions relative to vehicles, estimating road users' trajectories, and assessing their awareness of traffic. A.D Knight aims to protect vulnerable road users, improve road and highway shoulder safety, provide origin-to-destination analytics, and assist with curb management, micro-mobility monitoring, and pedestrian/vehicle detection at railroad crossings. The technology is designed to be stand-alone, simple to deploy, does not require app installation, preserves privacy, and is not limited by line of sight, visibility conditions, or weather. [3]
