Ai Application for School bus monitoring industry

1. Ai Application for School bus monitoring industry

With the development in CCTV technology, the solution of school bus has become more and more comprehensive, from merely transporting children to the vehicle which has been installed the security devices like Mobile DVR and cameras monitoring system. Location-based tracking, attendance assurance and real-time video surveillance of both interior and exterior of the vehicle are among the most discussed requirements for school bus safety, due to the risks regarding behavioural concerns of drivers and students while in transit. With the safety concerns in mind, educational organizations are adopting the newest security technologies like AI in their school buses to ensure the safety of driver and children.

ICARVISIONS, as China's leading manufacturer and solution provider of vehicle surveillance device like Mobile Digital Video Recorder(MDVR) & Mobile Network Video Recorder(MNVR) & telematics platforms, we’ve been focusing in the vehicle surveillance industry for more than 10 years, we know how important the safety of school bus meant to all parties especially the parents, we’ve launched the new-generation product “all-in-one” JH4A, which has combined the AI technology and has been developed to enhance the safety when driving.

4. The working theory of the Mobile DVR surveillance solution for school bus:

The ADAS camera can alert the driver in advance before the collision, effectively preventing and alleviating the fatal traffic danger; the DSM camera analyzes the fatigue state and the distracted state in real-time by recognizing facial expression features and promptly alerts the driver. The core technology comes from independent research and development, with an international level of visual recognition algorithm engine, which is accurate and reliable.

When the ADAS camera detects the potential collision risk with the vehicle front, the vehicle distance is too close or the unconscious lane deviation, the system will remind the driver to take timely measures through the warning tone; the DSM camera can identify driver's fatigue driving, distracted driving, smoking, making phone calls, and other abnormal driving behaviour.

When the ADAS or DSM warning event is triggered, the warning information is transmitted to the vehicle management system platform (IVMS). Through the collected warning data of the driver and making in-depth driving behaviour analysis, it reduces the traffic accident rate, improves the operational efficiency for the school bus, and eases the burden for the educational supervision department.

Our goal: keep school children SAFE & give PEACE of MIND to parents & school.

MDVR + Ai solution for Truck

For our modern world, more than one million people die each year because of road traffic crashes and almost every logistic or transportation companies have to pay high cost to the insurance company as cases of road incidents are unavoidable and numbers are also increasing. Meanwhile, vehicles are becoming increasingly automated as today’s automated systems are taking over an increasing amount of responsibility for the driving task. It is expected that soon, Ai-related device will take the place of human impulse, and artificial intelligence (AI) will substitute for human intelligence and offer us better safety on road.

As we know, the truck or lorry driver can easily be affected by long time working and caused severe issues on the road. But now, those Drivers can benefit from a wide range of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and DSM thanks to advanced AI technologies developed by ICARVISIONS, such as safe distance warning, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, pedestrian, traffic sign recognition and the DSM(driver status monitor) will make sure driver can stay in good driving condition all the time such as yawning, eyes closing, smoking, making the phone call, distraction and more.

The ICARVISIONS has introduced an external Ai Box and Mobile DVR with ADAS+DSM (all in one) products where the former Ai-box can be connected with all existing DVR models and bring the user with all the latest functions of ADAS+DSM.

3. Real Case Installation Photos

4. How does the system work?

• Real-time data from recorder installed on each vehicle will be transmitted to the central server system via 3G/4G when the bus is running on the road. People can have access to the recorder real-time data remotely via the IVMS platform and App.
• The central server ( including the WiFi downloading server where the recorded files will be uploaded ) is installed at the facility where the vehicles return and park overnight. And a wireless network is set up at this place which has configured to connect to the central server and provide access points in the bus lot.
• When a vehicle returns to the facility and is in the wireless network range, the Wi-Fi radios on each vehicle automatically connect to the access points - directly transmitting any scheduled, automatic event-based, or end-user requested video contents to the WiFi downloading server wirelessly and cost-effectively.

Computers connected to the server via Cellular/Wi-Fi and using the IVMS client software or MDVRPlayer playback software can quickly and easily search the video database on selected criteria. Besides the basic video contents, end-users can also get extensive email alerts and MDVR system reports like the mileage report, alarm reports speed report, etc., recorder health reports based on the operator’s requested.
