Netradyne, a US-based technology company, has revealed that it will be working with the California-based technology firm NVIDIA to enhance driver safety for commercial vehicles in the US and India.

Using NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and a patent pending four-camera video system, Netradyne has been able to capture vision-based data and vehicle analysis.

Netradyne's Driveri Internet of Things (IoT) platform focuses on identifying, recognising and rewarding positive driver performance.

"GPU deep learning is transforming the application of AI for many markets, including automotive."

Netradyne co-founder and CEO Avneesh Agrawal said: “We believe that computer vision based solutions will raise the bar in driver recognition and safety improvements.

“The tremendous parallel performance and power efficiency of NVIDIA's Jetson TX1 enables the Driveri platform to provide deep insights into driving performance and allows the greatest level of protection to drivers and their fleets."

As an NVIDIA Artificial Intelligence (AI) City partner, Netradyne will be taking advantage of the Jetson TX1, as well as NVIDIA's Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) platform to capture and analyze the entire driving experience through deep learning.

NVIDIA Tegra business vice-president and general manager Deepu Talla said: “GPU deep learning is transforming the application of AI for many markets, including automotive.

“By using the Jetson TX1, Netradyne is helping to build stronger AI cities that are always on and focused on keeping us safer and smarter.”

By using the on-device application of AI as well as the deep learning which will be implemented at the edge of the network would identify the positive driving activity and flags at-risk conditions.

This information can be leveraged by commercial fleets and insurance companies.
