Leading tyre manufacturer Continental has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with leading Slovenian technology company, AV Living Lab, and its official local partner Location Solutions, to collaborate on initiatives linked to its Vision Zero goal, which aims to promote safer roads, zero fatalities, zero accidents and zero casualties, and in line with the UAE 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
The three companies will work together on research focused on improving road safety through assessment of driver behaviour via the AI Driving Hub, a creation by AV Living Lab and Location Solutions. By using artificial intelligence, the platform can analyse incidents linked to tyre failure to keep road users safe and ensure accidents are avoided on the road.
AI Driving Hub, launched by AV Living Lab and Location Solutions, employs artificial intelligence to assess psycho-physiological characteristics of the drivers using biometric and sensor data, a Digital Twin, patented motion platform and customisable road scenarios. As a result, a fleet operator receives a detailed driver behaviour background check with 19 categories.
The MOU was signed at the Slovenian Pavilion, at EXPO 2020 in Dubai.
