NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The AI Applied Consortium, in collaboration with students and faculty from the Georgia Institute of Technology, DePaul University, and municipalities and cities across the United States, is excited to announce the launch of a pioneering Artificial Intelligence Video Analytics Program. This initiative aims to revolutionize the management and appreciation of urban multi-use trails and public areas by transforming data into actionable insights for urban planning and improving the quality of life for communities across the nation. The program also actively involves students and faculty from these esteemed institutions, fostering an environment of learning and innovation.

“Data science and AI have the potential to transform urban living by providing critical insights for better decision-making and sustainability,” said Ilyas Ustun, Director of Data Science at DePaul University.

The AI Video Analytics Program, utilizing state-of-the-art AI computer vision technology, analyzes pedestrian and cyclist traffic patterns. This information will be instrumental in economic impact studies, environmental benefits, and strategic planning to enhance local business patronage and community engagement.

The AI Video Analytics Program is distinguished by its holistic approach, focusing on community engagement, privacy, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The program leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to provide comprehensive insights while prioritizing the privacy and security of individuals. By obfuscating personally identifiable information at the edge, the program ensures data security and builds user trust. Additionally, the use of synthetic data and advanced AI vision models enables the program to offer accurate and adaptable insights applicable to diverse urban settings.

A significant aspect of the program is its community-centric focus. Through educational workshops, R&D partnerships with universities, and collaborations with non-profits and local businesses, the program fosters economic development and technological advancement on a national scale. This inclusive approach ensures that the benefits of the AI Video Analytics Program extend beyond technological innovation to enhance community engagement and regional development.

“This program showcases our commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to enhance urban planning and community engagement,” said Michael Braun, Smart City Lead for the AI Applied Consortium. “By bringing together diverse expertise, we are not only advancing technology but also ensuring its positive impact on society and the environment.”

“This program showcases our commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to enhance urban planning and community engagement,” said Michael Braun, Smart City Lead for the AI Applied Consortium. “By bringing together diverse expertise, we are not only advancing technology but also ensuring its positive impact on society and the environment. Our work is about more than just data collection—it’s about creating actionable insights that cities can use to foster growth, improve sustainability, and enhance the quality of life for their residents. This is just the beginning of what AI-driven solutions can offer in reshaping urban landscapes and ensuring our infrastructure meets the demands of the future.”

The project aims to demonstrate the AI Computer Vision solution’s ability to provide analysis of foot and vehicular traffic, focusing on multi-use trail and public area management. This comprehensive approach aims to not only leverage the technological benefits of video analytics but also to strengthen community ties and drive regional development nationally.

The program also focuses on understanding and reducing carbon emissions through the creation of multi-use trails that encourage greener commutes. By using deep AI video analytics to understand traffic patterns and promoting pedestrian and cyclist pathways, the AI Applied Consortium aims to contribute to environmental sustainability on a national scale.

“Data science and AI have the potential to transform urban living by providing critical insights for better decision-making and sustainability,” said Ilyas Ustun, Director of Data Science at DePaul University. “Our collaboration in this initiative represents a significant step towards harnessing these technologies for public good.”

The program is supported by notable individuals including Patricia Burke Hansen from the City of Brookhaven, and Shaun Green from Atlanta Beltline, among others. Their involvement underscores the program’s commitment to community engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Beyond the immediate focus on urban multi-use trails, the AI Video Analytics Program has far-reaching applications. This technology holds significant potential for smart-city use cases, including civil construction and the analysis of outdated infrastructure. By extending the scope of this program, cities can leverage AI-driven analytics to address pressing infrastructure challenges, optimize urban planning, and enhance the resilience of their communities. The ability to understand and act on data-driven insights will be crucial as cities across the nation work to modernize and improve their infrastructure in the face of evolving demands.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

on

By

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
