Smart Traffic Lights powered-by Vision AI

Optimize traffic flow with AI intelligence

A Renesas RA Ecosystem Partner Solution

Watch Demo at Embedded World 2026

At embedded world Exhibition&Conference 2026, we demonstrated a Vision AI solution that adjusts traffic light timing in real-time based on pedestrian count and waiting behavior – running entirely at the edge, with no network dependency.

The demo was hosted at Renesas Electronics booth, showcasing how our continued partnership in bringing edge Vision AI to real-world ITS applications.

Strategic Value for Urban Innovation Leaders

Irida Labs in partnership with Renesas Electronics, introduce the Smart Traffic Lights – a Vision AI software and hardware solution that runs at the edge (no network connection needed), that adjusts traffic lights in real-time based on pedestrian count.
This retrofit solution is built on the Renesas RA8P1 accelerated by the Arm Ethos-U55 NPU, providing high accuracy, energy efficiency, and seamless integration, making it ideal for city authorities aiming at optimizing traffic management in urban environments, or in city centers.

Key Features

Integration Into Existing Lights

Low-power, compact sensors for existing infrastructure (i.e. traffic lights, lighting poles)

Energy Efficient

Low-power design for sustainable operation at scale

Powered by Edge AI

AI-driven analytics processed by the Arm Ethos-U55 accelerator

Future-Proof & Scalable

Software-defined, remotely updatable

Real-Time Intelligence

Instantly detect and track pedestrians, calculate waiting time

Comprehensive Vision AI

Hardware & software sensors developed to meet your unique requirements

Privacy-Preserving by Design

Edge-based processing ensures full GDPR compliance, with no personal data ever stored or transmitted. The Vision AI solution operates in a privacy-first mode – transmits no images at all.

How It Works

Vision AI Detection
Detects and counts pedestrians, and calculates time of stay inside the area of interest (curbside waiting area, crossing area)

Real-time Decision at the Edge
When the set thresholds for people count and waiting time are reached, the system turns the traffic light green
