As public policy evolves to regulate vehicle access to managed lanes based on occupant count, accurate in-cabin sensing becomes a critical enabler of compliance, congestion management, and equitable tolling. This presentation explores how AI-enhanced occupant monitoring systems can meet emerging regulatory demands in North America, particularly for HOV lane authorization and dynamic tolling. We examine technical challenges, privacy considerations, and the broader implications for shared mobility and traffic optimization. The session also connects these developments to the goals of “The Pooling Imperative,” highlighting the role of intelligent sensing in sustainable transportation.
