Case Study: Olympia Odos achieves faster motorway incident detection with Ex Machina's AI-powered edge vision system

Olympia Odos detects incidents in 2-3 seconds with Ex Machina

The customer Olympia Odos faced a significant challenge in monitoring the Elefsina-Korinthos-Patras motorway, one of Greece's busiest transport corridors. Their traditional method of relying on operators to monitor CCTV feeds for incidents was slow, inconsistent, and unable to scale across the extensive roadway. They needed an automated system to detect safety incidents consistently and within seconds. To address this, they partnered with Ex Machina for an AI-powered solution.

Ex Machina designed and deployed an Automatic Incident Detection system using over 100 AI cameras equipped with NVIDIA Jetson Xavier edge processors. This solution detects a wide range of incidents, including stopped vehicles and wrong-way drivers, with an average detection time of 2-3 seconds and a remarkably low false alarm rate of less than 0.03 per camera per day. The implementation dramatically improved incident response times, reduced operator workload, and integrated with an adaptive lighting system that delivered 20% energy savings.
