Las Vegas officials received a $1.4 million federal grant to be invested in an artificial intelligence pedestrian detection system on the Fremont Street corridor.

The project will look to increase pedestrian safety in the busy Fremont Street area by installing AI pedestrian detection systems, which adjust traffic signals and crossing flasher timing in real time based on the volume of pedestrians waiting to cross and the time it takes them to cross the street.

The federal award is from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Rep Dina Titus, D-Nev. helped secure.
