About
Hayden AI is an artificial intelligence company founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, that develops a mobile perception platform designed for automated traffic enforcement and smart city data collection. The company's core product combines deep learning computer vision with edge computing hardware mounted on transit vehicles — primarily municipal buses — to automatically detect traffic violations in real time. These include illegal parking in bus lanes, blocking of bus stops, and other infringements that impede public transit operations. The system captures video evidence of violations, processes it on-device using AI at the edge, and generates structured violation data that can be used by transit agencies and municipalities to issue citations and enforce traffic ordinances without requiring dedicated enforcement personnel.
