Rekor’s Incident Detection API is a powerful solution that transforms disparate data into real-time, actionable insights for transportation agencies. It enables seamless integration of incident intelligence into existing systems, ensuring that transportation teams, applications, and the traveling public receive only the critical data they need—when they need it most. The API leverages Rekor’s AI enrichment and data fusion engines to ingest and process data from sensors, ATMS, map apps, social media, weather feeds, and third-party sources. This fusion breaks down legacy infrastructure silos and delays, delivering enriched incident data with high reliability and relevance.
