Why This Matters Now

Traffic congestion costs the US $87B annually in lost productivity, fuel waste, and emissions. Most cities are still managing traffic the same way they did 20 years ago – fixed-interval signal timers and human review of camera footage – despite the availability of AI that could transform every intersection into an intelligent node in a city-wide traffic management system.

1. Fixed Signal Timers Create Artificial Congestion

Intersections running on fixed signal timing waste 30–40% of green time during off-peak periods while creating unnecessary queues. AI-adaptive signals eliminate this waste instantly.

2. Incident Detection Depends on Human Attention

Manual camera monitoring means accidents, wrong-way drivers, and road hazards are often detected 10–20 minutes after they occur – extending clearance time, secondary accidents, and emergency response time.

3. Traffic Data Is Collected But Never Analyzed

Most traffic cameras and sensors collect data that is never analyzed for patterns, bottlenecks, or long-term infrastructure planning – turning expensive sensor infrastructure into passive recording devices.

What Sphere Delivers

Sphere overlays AI on your existing camera and sensor infrastructure – no rip-and-replace. Computer vision models run at the edge (on camera modules or junction boxes) detecting vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and incidents in real time. Detected events feed a city-wide traffic intelligence platform that optimizes signals dynamically, alerts operators to incidents, and builds the data foundation for long-term infrastructure planning.

Built On Industry-Leading Technology

Built on AWS services for edge intelligence, video processing, IoT connectivity, and machine learning, Sphere delivers traffic systems that turn existing city infrastructure into a real-time decision layer. This technology stack supports low-latency edge detection, connected sensor and camera data flows, signal optimization models, and operator dashboards that help transportation teams improve safety, response time, and long-term planning.

Sphere’s traffic AI engineers will review your current monitoring infrastructure, identify the highest-value intersections for AI deployment, and deliver a projected ROI analysis and deployment timeline – at no cost.

How It Works

Edge Hardware Install

Install edge AI compute modules on existing camera infrastructure (typically 1–3 hours per intersection).

Deploy Sensors

Install pre-configured sensor nodes across target locations. Connect via Amazon Sidewalk – no gateway setup required.

Cloud Integration

Deploy AWS IoT data pipeline, traffic analytics platform, and operations dashboard.

Go Live & Training

Calibrate object detection models and go live. Train traffic operations staff on dashboard and alert management.

ROI & Bussines Impact

Cities deploying Sphere’s AI Traffic Monitoring system report average congestion reductions of 28–34%, incident response time improvements of 35–48%, and $800K–$2.5M in annual productivity, fuel, and emissions benefits.

Signal optimization alone typically saves $200K–$600K annually in fuel and time losses at instrumented intersections.

Sphere Partners
Bruce Burdick Chief Information Officer at Integra Credit

We've been working with Sphere and its excellent consultants since our founding. Their combination of offshore talent, pricing, and shift offsetting is hard to beat. They provide crucial augmentation to our in-house team. We simply couldn't achieve our production ambitions without their service.

Sphere Partners
Jemal Swoboda CEO at Dabble

The resources and developers that Sphere Software provides are skilled and have the required technical expertise to complete their tasks successfully, with the team easily scaled in either direction. The deliverables are always high-quality.

Sphere Partners
Arthur Tretyak Founder and CEO at IntegraCredit

With Sphere, we were able to migrate in half the time it would take to train an additional FTE…

Sphere Partners
Lee Ebreo VP of Engineering at Credit Ninja

These things would not have been achievable if we did not build our own in-house system. We augmented our development team capabilities using Sphere’s developer, who works very well with our Dev Lead in Chicago. Sphere’s developer was an expert in the new system, and continues to be an expert as we evolve it.

Frequently asked question

AI traffic management uses computer vision models to analyze live video from existing cameras and detect vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, incidents, and congestion patterns in real time. That means cities can add intelligence to current infrastructure without replacing the full camera network. Sphere’s approach is built around overlaying AI on top of what municipalities already have, which reduces disruption and speeds up deployment.

Yes. Traffic monitoring AI can run directly on edge modules placed near cameras or sensors, which allows detections to happen locally with very low latency. This is useful for signal timing, safety alerts, and intersections where every second matters. Sphere designs these edge-first architectures so cities can keep key functions running even during network interruptions.

Edge computer vision means video is processed near the camera instead of being sent to a remote cloud environment for every decision. In traffic systems, that helps detect vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, stopped cars, or wrong-way movement almost instantly. Sphere uses this model to support faster operational response and more resilient city traffic infrastructure.

Adaptive signal control uses live traffic data to adjust signal timing based on actual road conditions. It can extend green time for crowded approaches, reduce unnecessary waiting, and improve flow during unusual demand. Sphere builds these systems with machine learning and real-time detection inputs so signal timing reflects what is happening on the street, not only a fixed schedule.

AI can detect accidents, stopped vehicles, debris, road blockages, wrong-way driving, and people entering unsafe roadway zones. When set up correctly, the system can trigger alerts for operators with location details and supporting video context. Sphere uses this kind of automated incident detection to help transportation teams respond faster and manage road safety more proactively.

Computer vision can identify vulnerable road users in real time and track how they move through crossings, lanes, and conflict zones. That can support longer crossing times, better intersection logic, and alerts around near-miss patterns. Sphere includes pedestrian and cyclist detection in its smart mobility solutions because safety outcomes matter as much as traffic throughput.

AWS provides the cloud and edge services needed to connect devices, ingest video and sensor data, run machine learning models, and visualize traffic operations. Services such as AWS IoT Core, Kinesis Video Streams, SageMaker, QuickSight, and edge inference tools help cities build scalable traffic intelligence platforms. Sphere uses this AWS stack to connect camera feeds, sensor inputs, analytics, and operator workflows into one practical system.

Amazon SageMaker is used to build and manage machine learning models that support traffic prediction, intersection optimization, anomaly detection, and long-term mobility analysis. In a transportation context, it helps cities move from reactive control to data-driven decision-making. Sphere applies SageMaker where clients need models that can improve signal behavior and planning over time, not only basic dashboard reporting.

Beyond real-time operations, smart traffic systems generate data that can be used for corridor planning, safety studies, infrastructure investment decisions, event traffic analysis, and sustainability reporting. Cities can look at trends across days, months, and seasons instead of relying only on occasional field studies. Sphere builds platforms that support both immediate operations and long-range planning from the same data foundation.

A useful traffic AI system needs more than a model. It needs edge deployment, device connectivity, event pipelines, signal logic, operator visibility, and a design that fits existing city infrastructure. Sphere brings those layers together into one solution, helping transportation teams launch AI-enabled traffic management without starting from scratch.
