The continuous exponential growth in the global population has created challenges for the traditional transportation system as it struggles to improve traffic congestion, public safety and reduce pollution.
With a growing emphasis on enhancing safety, efficiency and driving experience, one significant development in public transportation has been the integration of AI-powered in-vehicle computers within buses. This technological evolution has emerged in response to a confluence of factors that have reshaped the landscape of public transportation.
Safety is paramount in the realm of public transportation. Buses, being large and often operating in congested urban environments, require advanced systems to mitigate accidents and safeguard passengers, pedestrians and other road users. Traditional onboard systems lacked the capability to respond dynamically to real-time traffic conditions, potential hazards and unforeseen obstacles.
To ensure public safety, multiple cameras are used to record and analyse images. NEXCOM VTC 7270-C8 supports up to 8 IP cameras by PoE ports. This NVR utilises an NVMe SSD as its internal storage while all passengers and driver states are continuously tracked through 5G upload. It supports GNSS and dead reckoning in addition to Dual LTE/5G and Dual Wi-Fi. Equipped with the latest 12/13th generation Intel® Core™ i processor, VTC 7270-C8 offers 30% more computing power than its predecessor. With Intel® OpenVINO and Intel® Deep Learning Boost, it accelerates high-performance image recognition and AI/deep learning inference workloads. This facilitates ADAS in identifying, recognising and predicting vehicles’ internal or external abnormalities via video surveillance
