Netradyne, an industry leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing focusing on driver and fleet safety, has been named on this year's Forbes AI 50 list 2022 for North America. Produced in partnership with Sequoia Capital, this list recognizes the standout privately held companies in North America that are making the most interesting and impactful uses of AI. Forbes editorial team acknowledged that AI technology is driving advancements in every industry but that it can be difficult to identify which companies are utilizing such technology in transformative and measurable ways. The Forbes AI 50 list, now in its fourth edition, identifies North America's privately held companies at the forefront of the field for whom AI is at the heart of their products and services. In selecting honorees for this year's list, Forbes' 12-judge panel of experts in artificial intelligence from the fields of academia, technology, and venture capital evaluated hundreds of submissions, handpicking the top 50 most compelling companies.

This is the second blog in the AI Transportation and logistics industry. This blog focuses on advancing AI telematics and provides an overview of current state and future state developments. Key questions for CEOs and Board Directors on leading AI are highlighted for digital transformation.

Distracted driving and drowsy driving can be be dangerous and even fatal, but technologies like the ... [ ] KeepTruckin AI Dashcam can help monitor behavior and protect everyone. It can be very dangerous to drive on the highway. Vehicles are driving at a high rate of speed--many making poor decisions in the moment. Accidents--often fatal--are a regular occurrence and frequently result from drowsy or distracted drivers. KeepTruckin hopes to reduce the danger and improve safety for truck drivers with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).

KeepTruckin hopes to reduce the danger and improve safety for truck drivers with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). Distracted driving is dangerous for anyone, but it is particularly dangerous--for both the driver and the vehicles around him or her--for semi-truck drivers hauling cargo on our highways.

Netradyne believes that road safety begins with understanding driver performance better. Self-driving and autonomous cars are touted as the next big thing, with all the big companies from Google to Tesla getting into it. But, to be sure, it is going to be a long time before we will see a self-driven car on Indian roads. Road safety, however, continues to be a major problem in the country, with the number of accidents going up by the day. According to a report published by the transport research wing of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the total number of road accidents increased by 2.5 per cent, from 4,89,400 in 2014 to 5.01,423 in 2015.

Startup firm NetraDyne Inc. has launched its initial technology offering for the transportation industry -- a video-based safety platform that combines onboard cameras with artificial intelligence to provide a more complete view of driver performance. The company said its Driver-i platform, which uses an in-cab device equipped with four cameras, is designed to help fleets improve safety by tracking and analyzing driver performance during an entire trip, not just during critical driving events such as a crash or hard braking incident. The cameras track traffic lights, lane markings, other vehicles on the road and pedestrians, while NetraDyne's software uses a form of artificial intelligence to interpret that visual information and determine how the road environment influenced the driver's actions. "That is ultimately the power of A.I. -- to be a substitute or surrogate for a human reviewer," said NetraDyne President Sandeep Pandya, who added that the vast majority of video captured around the world is never actually reviewed by a human. "Being able to use artificial intelligence to eliminate that back-end reviewer delivers an efficiency we think that the industry is waiting for."
