Mauritania deploys AI road safety system nationwide

Government of Mauritania — Mauritania now runs an AI road safety system nationwide, catching overloaded lorries and missing seat belts on intercity highways as drivers pass. Engineers from the State Digital Agency and the General Directorate of National Security built the cameras and vision software for the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Administrative Modernization, powering this AI-based traffic violation detection. Each breach triggers an automatic alert and lands in a traceable record, sparing officers from checking vehicles one by one.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4731 entries across 249 countries.
