Hayden AI, a leading provider of vision AI solutions designed to make cities safer, smarter, and more efficient, announced that the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) will implement its automated enforcement technology for bike lanes and bus stops. The system will be installed on 15 Triton Transit buses, the university’s primary transportation fleet, to monitor and address illegal parking violations across campus. A 60-day warning period is set to begin in December, preparing the community for full enforcement.
This initiative follows a highly successful pilot program in which two Triton Transit buses were equipped with Hayden AI’s forward-facing camera systems. During the 59-day pilot, the technology detected 1,124 parking violations, with 88.4% of these incidents occurring in bike lanes. The pilot’s effectiveness earned it a nomination for Circulate San Diego’s Momentum Award, highlighting the program’s impact on campus safety.

“Clear bike lanes and bus stops are essential to keeping students, faculty, staff, and visitors safe as they travel throughout campus,” said Marty Beard, CEO of Hayden AI. “We’re thrilled to bring this practical, proven, and secure use of computer vision to their community.”
Illegal parking in bike lanes and bus stops poses significant safety risks for cyclists, bus riders, and people with disabilities. When bike lanes are blocked, cyclists are forced into vehicle traffic, increasing the risk of accidents. Similarly, obstructed bus stops delay Triton Transit riders and prevent safe boarding and disembarking for passengers with disabilities, as bus operators cannot deploy wheelchair access ramps when vehicles park illegally in designated zones.

Bus-mounted AI enforcement has consistently demonstrated its ability to change driver behavior and reduce violations that block transit lanes. Hayden AI’s technology is already deployed on transit buses across several U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood. In Washington D.C., the system reduced bus stop parking violations by 32% within a year of active enforcement, underscoring its effectiveness nationwide.
By leveraging automated vision AI on transit vehicles, UC San Diego aims to enhance safety, streamline public transit operations, and ensure that cyclists, bus riders, and pedestrians can navigate campus without obstruction. This deployment exemplifies how technology can address real-world urban safety challenges while fostering a culture of compliance and responsible parking.
