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.

Whether your company has a large fleet or only a few vehicles, fleet safety should always be a top priority. Safety initiatives not only save lives but also have a major impact on your bottom line. Every year, on-the-job highway crashes cost employers an average of $26,081 per crash, $66,119 per million vehicle miles of travel, and $78,418 per injury. To get a sense of how fast these numbers add up, let's say your fleet has 1,000 crashes. Besides the obvious benefits of a safety program, fleets that integrate safety into every part of their business reap a range of intrinsic benefits, like improved accountability across every department, higher morale, better productivity, and increased driver retention.

Amazon plans to install AI-enabled cameras in their delivery vehicles to monitor their drivers while they're on the clock. An Amazon video uploaded to Vimeo shows how the camera operates. The Driveri platform, supplied by the software company Netradyne, provides real-time feedback to a driver and evaluates a driver's performance during their shifts. The program's feedback notes distracted driving, failure to stop at a stop sign, speeding and others. If the camera detects any of these trigger signals, it will upload recorded footage.

BENGALURU: Artificial Intelligence influences driving behaviour and could reduce fatal road incidents by 2035, says a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Science along with Zoomcar and Netradyne. Netradyne had commissioned its vision-based driver assistance and safety platform'Driveri' in 500 Zoomcars on a pilot basis. "Driver is an advanced driver-assistance system that analyses the driving journey, road data and also monitors driving behaviour through AI. Driveri is equipped with four HD inward- and outward-looking cameras that record and trigger voice alerts based on driving incidents in real time," the release said. Driveri's voice alerts and outward camera features were activated in 250 test cars, and in the remaining 250, the outward camera was switched on but the voice-alert feature deactivated.

AI-integrated software is a sophisticated system made up of several devices and applications such as predictive data analysis and machine learning systems, HD cameras and sensors, communication and display systems. AI-based fleet management platform Driveri, currently deployed in fleets across the country, is a combination of all of these components. Before understanding how each of these parts combines to create a fleet management powerhouse, it is important to know what each one does. Cameras ensure that video data can be captured, analyzed and accessed at any time leading to a better study of driver behavior, road conditions or hazards. This is significant because it creates a future of fleet management where human error is reduced across the transport cycle.

Driver turnover has been above 90 percent for more than nine consecutive quarters and shows little sign of slowing down. What's more is that issues related to management and workplace policies and communication have caused 30 percent of drivers to leave their job. Keeping your drivers safe, recognizing them for doing the right thing, and offering a solid feedback loop are key to increasing driver engagement -- and retention. If the people who drive your products from one place to another do not feel like you have taken extra measures to keep them safe, then they will leave for jobs that do. Where does this leave you? The more drivers you lose, the more difficult it will become to transport your products.

There are many opinions about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to change the world with expectations about its capabilities for now and in the future. AI simply refers to intelligence displayed by machines in contrast to that displayed by humans. Although humans are intelligent, they cannot be programmed to exceed their current capabilities in the same way a machine can. This has led to the creation of smart machines that handle tasks otherwise difficult for humans to handle efficiently. Artificial intelligence is gradually becoming a constant presence in many technological applications.

According to Gartner Inc. AI is going to be one of the biggest the trends. It will be the number one driver of business change with reports suggesting the market size to reach $20 billion by 2022. While with over 400 people killed in road accidents every day and over 1.3 million people killed in India over the past one decade. There is a dire need to improve road safety in India. Artificial Intelligence can prominently play a role in bridging the gap by improving efficiency in driving patterns.
