Similar in the magnitude of analysis to the medical tests, the smart AI system aims at qualifying each driver’s KPIs on the basis of their detailed psychophysical characteristics and ability to cope with critical road scenarios within less than 30 minutes.
Dubai-based company Location Solutions is officially entering into an exclusive partnership with Slovenian hi-tech companies AV Living Lab and Nervtech, to bring the first hub to the UAE by June 2021.
“Tokyo (for its Olympics) and London (for its bus fleet) have both lined up to implement the system, however, I am confident that it is Dubai that will become the first Global Digital AI Driver Evaluation Capital thanks to its progressive leadership,” said Zaim Azrak, CEO and founder of Location Solutions.
AI-based driving evaluation hub is a complete end-to-end solution, where motion driving simulators, biometric data collections, real road scenarios in digital twins, and cognitive AI & Machine Learning algorithms work together to help improve, train and integrate drivers into the advanced Dubai road transport network.
The technology has been developed and patented by the Nervtech AI scientists in collaboration with Stanford University and Virginia Tech. Nervtech AI Evaluation System has been successfully tested by the Red Bull Racing Team receiving their praise for being the closest to the real road experience.
Matej Vengust, CEO Nervtech, said: “We are moving from vehicle-centric solutions to human-centric solutions, in order to tackle and resolve the human factor in mobility, which is the main contributor to accidents on the road and traffic congestions.”
With Expo 2020 insight, Location Solutions considers now to be the best time to deploy the system to help assess taxi, limo, and bus drivers to improve the road safety and Expo visitor travel experience. During Expo 2020, Dubai will gain 25 million visits from all around the world over a period of 6 months. Moving them across various sites and venues will be crucial to their happy experience of the UAE, with taxi, limo, and bus drivers being among the first and most important Ambassadors of Dubai hospitality.
The first global AI-based driver evaluation hub will help transform and digitalise the transportation system of the city and country according to the National Priorities of the UAE Vision 2021 and Smart Dubai Strategy 2021.
“We are glad to have identified an excellent, unique, and innovative technology that will put Dubai as a global leader in road safety and smart mobility using AI for driver evaluation. We are happy to partner with AV Living Lab and Nervtech to bring this technology to Dubai and help achieve Dubai Vision and RTA Vision 2024. This will make Dubai the leader in seamless and sustainable mobility,” added Azrak.
Daniel Avdagic, CEO AV Living Lab, said: “Billions are invested into autonomous, connected, shared and electric mobility. Meanwhile, there is still a lack of investments into the drivers, which would give immediate effect, meaning the human factor in the present is often forgotten. Our goal is to bring AI-based mobility solutions to improve road safety and sustainable mobility today.”
