Esri collaborates with Intel’s Mobileye

Spatial analytics services provider Esri has announced a collaboration to integrate its mapping, analysis, and visualisation with Mobileye’s Shield+ product.

The new collaboration will enable cities to both visualise and analyse real-time location data from Shield+ and improve the safety of road users in urban environments.

Esri business development head Jim Young said: “Esri is excited to collaborate with Mobileye for an offering that brings us so much closer to creating safer communities.

“Making spatial data available to governments to improve safety and overall quality of life is an important step.”

The road safety data retrieved by Mobileye’s Shield+ will be streamed into Esri’s ArcGIS platform, and the information about the pedestrians and cyclists in the blind spots can be viewed on the Mobileye Smart Mobility Dashboard.

The alerts from Shield+ will be updated to the dashboard in real time and provide a city-wide view of pedestrian and cyclist safety.

As a part of this new collaboration, Mobileye offers municipalities that have entered a contract with the company, the option to incorporate the analytics-based capability powered by Esri’s ArcGIS software.

Mobileye business development and big data director Nisso Moyal said: “Through this collaboration with Esri, we are able to provide a game-changing product to cities and mobility providers.

“By enabling direct uploading of geospatial events from Shield+ fitted to municipal buses and the like to the Mobileye Smart Mobility Dashboard, cities will be able to anticipate and help prevent the next collision, while in general managing all of their assets much more efficiently.”
