Wide Area Persistent Surveillance Solutions for Smart Cities
STARISTIX & SoftServ
Staristix delivers breakthrough spatial intelligence technology that transforms how entities
interact within shared environments. Our platform captures, analyzes, and distributes real-time positional data with unprecedented accuracy and minimal latency across diverse operational contexts.
At our core, we’ve developed a proprietary system that continuously tracks objects of interest and instantly disseminates this critical spatial awareness to all relevant stakeholders within the ecosystem. This capability represents the foundational technology enabling autonomous systems to safely navigate and interact with humans in complex, dynamic environments.
Solutions serve as the technological cornerstone for next-generation smart city initiatives:
SMART Infrastructure Integration Staristix technology transforms passive physical structures into active information networks. Our sensors seamlessly integrate with buildings, roadways, utilities, and public spaces to create comprehensive digital awareness layers that capture, process, and transmit actionable environmental data across interconnected systems.
SMART Mobility Enablement We power the evolution of transportation ecosystems by providing the critical situational awareness necessary for connected vehicles, intelligent traffic management, responsive public transit, and integrated mobility services. Our technology bridges the sensing gap between infrastructure and vehicles, enabling truly coordinated transportation systems.
SMART Spaces Activation Staristix transforms ordinary environments into responsive, intelligent spaces that adapt to human needs. By creating a digital twin of physical reality and distributing this awareness to all connected systems, we enable environments that anticipate requirements, optimize resources, and enhance user experiences through continuous spatial intelligence.
By delivering millisecond-accurate positional intelligence across distributed networks, Staristix creates the technological foundation necessary for the true realization of smart cities where autonomous systems and humans can safely coexist and collaborate within shared environments.
SMART INFRASTRUCTURE
Staristix delivers advanced visual intelligence through AI-powered camera sensors that transform urban monitoring. Beyond simple video streaming, our systems perform real-time computer vision analysis to detect, classify, and track all objects within view, assigning precise geospatial coordinates to each entity.
What sets our technology apart is our ultra-low latency transmission system leveraging 5G networks to broadcast critical object data to all connected vehicles within a 1–5-kilometer radius. Each detection and tracking packet contain comprehensive metadata including:
- Precise geospatial positioning (UTM/lat-lon coordinates)
- Object classification and type identification
- Statistical confidence metrics for reliable decision-making
- Instantaneous velocity measurements
- Unique track identifiers and persistence duration
- Complete trajectory prediction modeling
- Synchronous timestamps for seamless integration
This infrastructure becomes essential for safe autonomous mobility in complex urban environments. While vehicle-based sensors face inherent limitations from occlusions and physical obstructions, Staristix’ s strategically positioned network provides comprehensive
Comprehensive situational awareness beyond line-of-sight.
V2X Communication Framework intelligent transportation ecosystem leverages multiple communication pathways to create unprecedented situational awareness:
Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V) Information Flow Advanced sensor networks strategically positioned throughout urban environments continuously broadcast high-precision object detection and tracking data directly to approaching vehicles, enabling anticipatory decision- making beyond onboard sensing capabilities.
Infrastructure-to-Infrastructure (I2I) Data Exchange Interconnected sensor arrays form a cohesive monitoring network, sharing and aggregating environmental intelligence through cloud-based platforms to enable system-wide optimizations and establish a unified digital twin of traffic dynamics.
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Feedback Loop Connected vehicles contribute real-time
telemetry, sensor observations, and system status to the infrastructure network, enriching the collective understanding of traffic conditions and creating a collaborative intelligence
ecosystem.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Direct Communication Vehicles establish direct communication channels with surrounding traffic participants, sharing position, trajectory, and intent data to facilitate cooperative maneuvering, collision avoidance, and traffic flow optimization.
Versatile Deployment Architecture Our sensor systems extend beyond traditional roadways to comprehensively monitor critical environments including airports, seaports, and essential infrastructure facilities. The hardware is designed for cost-effective installation on existing lighting poles and utility structures, requiring minimal infrastructure modification. Each sensor node integrates seamlessly into switched networks, enabling flexible scaling and rapid deployment across diverse operational environments.
This multi-dimensional communication architecture transcends traditional transportation
limitations, enabling vehicles to navigate complex urban environments with unprecedented safety, efficiency, and throughput even in the most challenging high-density scenarios.
Basler Low-Light ace U Camera Helps to Analyze the Flow of People and Vehicles in a Smart City. SoftServ International from Boston develops Wide Area Sensing solutions for surveying large areas of the city from high above. The vision system detects and tracks hundreds of moving people, vehicles, alerts about unusual activity and records the image data for later analysis.
Such systems are employed in surveillance and security, law enforcement, but also for rescue missions on disaster sites, and for smart city applications where cars, trains and airplanes communicate with the city infrastructure.
The low-light sensitive high-resolution ace U with the STARVIS sensor IMX226 turned out to be the perfect match for the newest StareServer 1. The system acquires image data at high resolution, performs video analytics in real time, streams multiple regions of interest, and stores 24 hours of data. Parallel to that, it allows rewinding and rewatching the acquired imagery. Refer https://softserv-intl.us/.
