Bosch AI Cameras Help Deliver Safer Roads With Co-operative Awareness.
Bosch AI Cameras Help Deliver Safer Roads – Bosch AI cameras are helping deliver safer roads through co-operative awareness and collective perception.
Led by Lexus Australia in collaboration with ITS Australia, the Queensland Government Department of Transport and Main Roads and Bosch Security & Safety Systems, Commsignia, HMI Technologies and Aptella, the initiative is exploring a ground-breaking new way for vehicles to protect vulnerable road users.
The initiative focuses on protecting vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, young children and the elderly, who in the event of a crash, they have little to no protection and make up more than one third of the fatalities on Australia’s roads.
At a recent showcase, Lexus Australia demonstrated a vehicle featuring co-operative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS), to demonstrate how co-operative awareness and collective perception can enable real-time information sharing between connected and non-connected road users, enhancing driver awareness and safety for riders and pedestrians.
The event highlighted how vehicles and infrastructure can share/receive information about themselves, share perceptions by collecting then sharing/receiving information about their surroundings, and sharing intentions to coordinate their behaviour.
The showcase demonstrated how C-ITS can reduce crashes at intersection using cooperative awareness to protect cyclists with ultra-lightweight DSRC systems, predict pedestrian movements with integrated camera analytics and avoid collisions using collective perception and digitally manage road space with intelligent traffic alerts.
The partners each brought a significant technological capability – Bosch’s in advanced deep-learning video-based detection cameras, Commsignia’s as a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) comms provider, HMI Technologies’ brought ITS and roadway management expertise, while Aptella’s skillset is intelligent automation, positioning, and mapping technologies.
“Bosch continues to evolve our groundbreaking state of the art deep learning-based cameras intended as detection and tracking systems for vulnerable road users and designed to deliver highly reliable performance in a wide range of scenarios, from congested footpaths to multi lane highways,” said Bosch Security & Safety Systems Australia video systems manager, Paul Donnelley.
“Our innovative camera AI-based technology is engineered to withstand challenging environmental conditions, including rain, wind (moving trees), snow, hail, water reflections, shadows, and bugs, making it extremely resistant to false triggers.
“With its unparalleled resilience, our intelligent video analytics consistently detects, tracks, and classifies objects with precision and accuracy, setting a new standard for advanced safety, surveillance and monitoring solutions and enhancing the safety of vulnerable road users.”
