Hertfordshire County Council, GB partners with AWS on AI-powered traffic monitoring platform

County officials wanted a monitoring solution for automated and standardized data collection. Videos from local traffic cameras are sent through an app built on AWS Amplify to the AWS Rekognition tool for analysis. Traffic types, directions, and speeds are documented before image deletion. Twelve-hour sections of video can be correctly categorized in as little as two hours. The platform is easy to access without training and reduces personnel time spent on traffic counts.

Hertfordshire County Council, GB lifts homeless resident prospects with supportive housing pilot

A four-bedroom property from B3 Living will house homeless residents in need of comprehensive services. County officials contracted Emerging Futures to provide around-the-clock services for four residents at a time. The support staff will create customized care plans for residents with mental health and addiction issues that work toward independent living. Broxbourne was selected for this one-year pilot due to a gap in social services for unhoused people.
