ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), a global provider of video intelligence and data awareness solutions, announces the deployment of its SecurOS® Soffit pedestrian safety system in Kodiak, Alaska. This pilot project, launched by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) on Rezanof Drive near Cope Street, marks the first installation of the Soffit in the state.
The deployment addresses a critical safety challenge unique to the region: long periods of darkness in the fall. Alaska sees a notable increase in pedestrian crashes during September and October, when daylight hours decrease rapidly but the contrast of snow—which can make pedestrians more visible to drivers—is not yet present. To mitigate this risk, the state selected the SecurOS® Soffit for its ability to provide intelligent, dynamic illumination.
