Hayden AI

Hayden AI develops a mobile vision AI platform that combines advanced computer vision with purpose-built, vehicle-mounted hardware to analyze urban environments in real time for traffic and parking violation enforcement. The technology is installed on transit buses to detect illegal parking in bus lanes, bus stops, bike lanes, and double parking violations, issuing citations automatically to improve transit on-time performance, safety, and accessibility. The platform helps cities reduce collisions along bus routes, improve transit speeds and flow, ensure wheelchair ramp accessibility at bus stops, and enhance overall transit ridership satisfaction. Hayden AI's purpose-built perception system provides real-time violation detection and enforcement, serving transit agencies and municipalities across multiple US cities including San Francisco, Washington DC, and Santa Monica. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Hayden AI has raised $193M in Series C funding from investors including Autotech Ventures, BootstrapLabs, Drawdown Fund, Global Brain, KDDI Open Innovation Fund, and Moderne Ventures.
