DESCRIPTION:Starling Technology reduces accidents by bringing dynamic real
 -time pedestrian safety to crossings and streets. Their technology\, teste
 d and verified at a crossing on East Road in Cambridge\, uses cameras with
  AI to identify different types\, numbers and behaviour of users so it can
  learn to predict when people will want to cross the road. Linked smart tr
 affic signals could then automatically adjust\, based on the amount of tra
 ffic and the number of pedestrians who want to cross at a particular locat
 ion to keep people moving. \n\nIn this talk\, Andrew Caleya Chetty\, co-fo
 under and CEO of Starling Technologies\, and Dominik Zisch\, Principal Sof
 tware Engineer\, will explain why changes are happening to our towns and c
 ities and how they use AI and Machine Learning to safeguard pedestrians an
 d cyclists to create a more efficient traffic flow. At the same time\, Sta
 rling's interventions will reduce the impact of pollution and lay the grou
 ndwork for the harmonious integration of autonomous vehicles.  Andrew Cale
 ya Chetty is director and partner at Starling Technologies\, and over the 
 years\, he has founded many cultural\, technology and entertainment initia
 tives for interactive\, participatory physical spaces. With two decades of
  experience in technology deployment and product creation\, in particular\
 , working with cities throughout the world\, his expertise spans everythin
 g from developing robust financial models for cutting-edge technology prop
 ositions to managing logistics and production for complex urban technology
  deployments.\n\nDominik is Principal Software Engineer at Starling Techno
 logies. He’s a key figure\, drawing on extensive knowledge in diverse fi
 elds\, including architectural technology and theoretical physics to advan
 ce software engineering. At UCL\, he educates future innovators on the MAr
 ch Design for Performance and Interaction course\, fostering a learning en
 vironment rich in technological advancement. Dominik has a particular inte
 rest in distributed systems and AI/ML technologies\, seeking new ways to h
 arness their capabilities.
