COLUMBIA, MD / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2024 / Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:REKR) (the "Company"), a trusted global authority in developing and delivering roadway intelligence using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), today announced the availability of its leading Rekor Discover™ Platform, including the Class, Count & Speed and Vehicle Insite applications, in AWS Marketplace. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software running on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

AWS customers will now have access to Rekor Systems' Rekor Discover™ directly within AWS Marketplace, providing AWS customers with the ability to streamline the purchase and management of the platform within their AWS Marketplace account. Rekor Discover™ is part of Rekor's comprehensive suite of roadway intelligence solutions for public safety, urban mobility, and transportation industries. Within AWS Marketplace, customers can also procure Rekor Command™ for AI-powered traffic management and Rekor Scout® for AI-driven vehicle and license plate recognition.

"Listing the Discover platform in AWS Marketplace significantly simplifies the procurement process for our customers," said Mike Dunbar, Rekor's Chief Revenue Officer. "This new approach speeds contracting and eliminates the complexities of the typical complex RFP process, making it easier and faster for government agencies at all levels to access Rekor's groundbreaking traffic analytics solution."

Rekor Discover™ | Revolutionizing Traffic Data Collection

Current traffic data collection methods are outdated, unsafe, costly, and resource-intensive, often limited to single-purpose use. Rekor Discover™ revolutionizes urban mobility by providing powerful and comprehensive roadway intelligence effortlessly and safely, even in areas beyond the reach of traditional sensors. By leveraging Edge systems, Rekor Discover™ fully automates traffic and vehicle ground-truth data capture and analysis, offering extensive roadway and traffic insights that empower our customers to plan future roadways more effectively.

Rekor Discover™ | Class, Count & Speed: Fully Automated Traffic Analytics

The Class, Count & Speed Application within Rekor Discover™ offers powerful, actionable reporting and traffic analytics, transforming roadway data into reliable, measurable insights and knowledge. Customers gain a comprehensive understanding of their roadways and traffic patterns, enabling them to optimize federal funding programs by precisely identifying and reporting on the mix of vehicles traveling their roads and related statistics. Now available in AWS Marketplace, Rekor Discover™ provides accurate analytics on vehicle counts, FHWA 13-bin classifications, vehicle speeds, and much more without putting roadway workers at risk, cutting into the pavement, or causing traffic disruptions.

In addition to multiple other State DOTs, Rekor also announced the Discover™ platform is now also deployed across the state of New Mexico for the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). NMDOT leverages Rekor Discover™ to aggregate, transform, and securely deliver comprehensive traffic insights to NMDOT in real time. Additionally, NMDOT benefits from Rekor Discover™ data integrated with MS2, the newest partner in the Rekor Partner Network (RPN) ecosystem. MS2's software suite is utilized by the majority of state departments of transportation, as well as metropolitan planning organizations, counties, cities, and institutions, as the system of record for continuous transportation data management.

Rekor Discover™ | Vehicle Insite: Powerful Vehicle Intelligence

Enhancing the understanding of vehicles traveling across roadways and their impact on the environment is a critical requirement for both government and commercial entities. Also now available in AWS Marketplace, Vehicle Insite is a next-generation vehicle intelligence application that fully automates the capture and reporting of traffic analytics, such as vehicle characteristics, air quality reporting, electric vehicle (EV) statistics, and average vehicle tonnage across roadway segments, all off of the same sensor. With Vehicle Insite, customers are armed with data-driven insights for their transportation, maintenance, and sustainability planning projects to better support their objectives of delivering smarter, safer, greener roadways and communities.

For example, the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), Philadelphia's public-private economic development corporation and master developer of Philadelphia's historic Navy Yard, selected Rekor for its AI expertise and commitment to creating more innovative, safer cities through roadway intelligence. PIDC utilizes the Vehicle Insite application as part of the Rekor Discover™ AI-driven traffic analytics platform. This next-generation roadway intelligence solution delivers a real-time understanding of vehicles and traffic flowing through the campus, empowering well-informed decisions that ensure visitors' seamless and enriched experience.

Kate McNamara, PIDC Senior Vice President at the Navy Yard, stated, "The Navy Yard is a growing 1,200-acre dynamic business campus, home to more than 150 companies and 15,000 employees. With our new $6B redevelopment plan projected to bring an additional 12,000 plus jobs and thousands of residents to the campus, we needed a platform to effectively monitor and analyze vehicle patterns to make better-informed decisions on future development. Our partnership with Rekor will allow us to gain insights from their platforms to optimize daily management of our campus and inform longer-term planning as we create a brand-new community in Philadelphia."

Powered by and built on AWS, Rekor Discover™ leverages a suite of AWS services, including Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), Amazon Kinesis, and AWS Lambda, to operate AI/ML, security, privacy, storage, streaming, and analytics at a global scale.
