1. 5 FAQ’s on
Conduent Vehicle Passenger
Detection System

2. Carpool lanes are critical to combating
roadway congestion.

3. However, their benefits are severely limited
when motorists do not abide by the rules.

4. Conduent Vehicle Passenger Detection
System (Conduent VPDS) identifies
whether a vehicle is HOV or HOT lane-
qualified, making it possible to enforce
HOV/HOT lanes requirements.

5. Here are the top 5 questions we’ve been
asked about Conduent VPDS.

6. Question # 1
How do you manage privacy?

7. We redact facial
images for privacy
purposes and do
not keep images
of non-violators.

8. All data is
encrypted and
stored locally.

9. Question # 2
Does Conduent VPDS perform well in
inclement weather?

10. We have noticed
that the system
performs slightly
less than its usual
98.5%+ accuracy
in inclement
weather.

11. This is because of
rain or other
precipitation on
the windshield,
blocking the
camera’s line of
sight.

12. (It would block a
person’s line of
sight, too.)

13. Question # 3
Could vehicles travel faster than the
camera could catch them?

14. No, not really.

15. When the system
is properly
configured, we
can capture every
vehicle whether
the vehicles are in
stop-and-go traffic
or going 100mph.

16. It would be
extremely
dangerous to try
and out-speed
our system.

17. Question # 4
What if there’s a baby in the backseat,
in a rear-facing car seat?

18. Our system
identifies
passengers by
the line of sight,
which means the
system wouldn’t
be able to see a
baby in a rear-
facing backseat.

19. An image like this
would likely be
caught in the
back office by the
reviewers and a
fine would not be
issued.

20. Question # 5
Can it detect the difference between a
dummy and a human?

21. Yes, the system
has done well in
pilot tests
detecting this
trick.

22. During our pilots,
we noticed that
using a dummy or
another inanimate
object to try and
trick the system is
a rare occurrence.
