SAN JOSE, Calif., April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global intelligent transportation service provider LEOTEK announced that its independently developed Interlux AI Traffic Signal System has been awarded the Silver Award in the Smart City Mobility Infrastructure category at the 2025 Edison Awards. Powered by NVIDIA edge computing technology, the system delivers high-performance AI computing and real-time decision-making at the edge.
Jensen Huang, founder of NVIDIA, was also honored with the Edison Achievement Award and delivered a keynote titled “A Modern Innovation Guide for Founders.” He emphasized, “Speed is everything. Our experience shows that rigid processes in the early stages of development often stifle creativity and slow progress. We’ve made every major mistake—but learning quickly and adapting has been the key to sustained innovation.”
Known as the “Oscars of Innovation,” the Edison Awards recognize Leotek’s forward-looking vision of reshaping urban governance through smart infrastructure. The company’s street lighting products also comply with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, positioning Leotek as a global catalyst for transportation innovation.
Smarter Traffic Signals: Redefining Intelligence at Intersections
The Interlux system leverages advanced sensing technologies, integrating mmWave radar, AI-based image recognition, and real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) data to equip traditional traffic signals with the ability to “understand” the dynamics of complex intersections. It simultaneously analyzes the movement patterns of pedestrians, vehicles, and micromobility devices to generate optimal signal strategies, overcoming the delays caused by traditional systems. The infrastructure evolves from passive response to proactive protection, using predictive algorithms to identify risks in advance and create an invisible safety net for road users.
A Dual Innovation in Technology and Sustainability
With over 30 years of expertise in smart transportation, LEOTEK’s technologies are not only internationally certified but are also modularly designed for seamless integration into existing road systems. The Interlux AI system dynamically adjusts signal timing and traffic flow, reducing energy waste from idling. An integrated energy management module optimizes power efficiency in real time, transforming intersections into pivotal nodes in the city’s carbon reduction efforts.
Torrent Chin, President of LEOTEK, stated: “When ambulances pass through safely, seniors cross streets with confidence, and commuters avoid traffic gridlock—that’s when technology truly serves its human-centered purpose.”
