Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has awarded Gatekeeper its automated streetcar enforcement system (ASES) pilot contract. The company will deploy its proprietary AI-assisted video analytics for incident detection, licence plate capture, and automated ticket processing.
ASES is a video-based evidence capture and automated ticketing solution for enforcement of motorists that fail to stop for streetcars when the passenger doors are open.

The ASES pilot contract is for initial deployment on four streetcars and is valued at approximately $460,000.
