The Problem

Road rage and unclear driver intent contribute to 80% of traffic incidents, per NHTSA data. Current navigation apps, even with real-time alerts, lack a personal, visible signal to communicate compliance, leaving drivers guessing about each other’s behavior—especially in dense or mixed-traffic conditions.

The Solution: ArTi

ArTi is an innovative AI-driven traffic management system that enhances driver awareness and safety through real-time, color-coded feedback:

- Green: Following traffic rules (e.g., speed, lane discipline).

- Yellow: Minor deviations (e.g., slight over-speed, lane drift).

- Red: Only activates when brakes are applied (safety override). Or when the driver is blatantly ignoring rules of the road.

How It Works:

- The entire smartphone screen changes color based on AI analysis of driving behavior (using GPS, accelerometer, and local rule data).

- This color syncs to the car’s third brake light, broadcasting the driver’s status to others on the road.

- Integrates seamlessly as an optional overlay, preserving Waze’s core navigation experience.

Why Waze?

• Synergy: Waze’s real-time traffic data and user reports can power ArTi’s compliance engine, leveraging your existing AI and crowdsourced insights.
  
• Safety Boost: ArTi turns Waze into a proactive safety tool, reducing collisions and enhancing community trust—aligning with Waze for Cities goals.
  
• User Engagement: A unique feature to differentiate Waze, encouraging adoption and retention through gamified safety incentives (e.g., “Green Streak” badges).
  

Proposed Integration

• Technical Fit: Use the Waze Transport SDK or Deep Links to feed ArTi real-time data (e.g., speed limits, hazards), with a Bluetooth adapter syncing to car lights.
  
• Pilot Program: Launch in a Waze for Cities partner city (e.g., LA, Singapore) to test ArTi’s impact on traffic flow and safety metrics.
  
• Collaboration Model: Co-development with shared IP protection, or a licensed feature with revenue share tied to premium usage.

Next Steps

• Discussion: Let’s connect to explore data access and SDK integration details.
  
• Prototype: We can demo a proof-of-concept using Waze’s public API within 30 days.
  
• Partnership: Open to negotiating terms via Waze PartnerHub or a direct call.
