« A start-up based in Dubai and also Detroit is amongst those examining innovative modern technology options that can bring those numbers down.
Derq is creating systems to much better comprehend where danger places are. The firm makes use of a mix of sensors on roadways, expert system, and also computer systems in vehicles to inform vehicle drivers of possible risks. […]
Derq is not the only firm operating in this area. Humanising Autonomy has actually created a “pedestrian intent prediction platform” planned to make independent automobiles much safer;” Driveri is a system that examines business automobile chauffeurs’ to boost their efficiency, and also Nexyad produces software application that can be constructed right into vehicles to sharp vehicle drivers of possible crashes. »

Old telematics used to record driving behaviour data extracted from accelerometer: severe braking, cornering, etc.
At this old time, there were no other solution, but it was complex to use it :
. weak correlation between severe braking and accident were due to the fact that accident brings severe braking (and not the opposite)
. driver that doesn’t brake at all at STOP signs (700,000 accidents per year in the USA) were considered as « good drivers » (no severe braking).
Now there is a new technology, easy to integrate into telematics hardware (smartphone, telematics device, dashcam, etc.) that computes a real validated DRIVING-RISK, easy to use, and because it is computed in real time, it can trigger alerts for driver and then modify driving behaviour in due course, reducing accident rate by 20%. It is time to turn the page and contact us (we provide the technology, you can build a solution by integrating it into your system).

CES 2020 LVCC CENTRAL PLAZA PAVILLON FRENCH FAB
French Secretary of State to the Minister of Economy and Finance, Ms. Agnès Pannier-Runacher has visited the booth of the MOV’EO / Groupement ADAS. Business France hosted several French automotive companies, particularly in the fields of AI, communications, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, Autonomous vehicles, etc.
NEXYAD GIVING COURSES ON DEEP LEARNING AT MASTER LEVEL FOR STUDENTS OF INSA ROUEN (NORMANDY)
NEXYAD is part of the MOVEO Groupement ADAS that built a pedagocic chair with INSA ROUEN on Intelligent vehicles (autonomous Driving, ADAS, connected car).
NEXYAD presented neural netwoks theory, practice, and methodology to students of MATHS option (Génie Mathématique) – Mentor of the chair is Pr Aziz BENSRHAIR.
With examples of real time detection for intelligent cars :
. ObstaNex : obstacle detection
. RoadNex : road fre space detection by semantic segmentation (use cas of real world old dirty roads)
The methodology « AGENDA » (Approche Générale des Etudes Neuronales pour le Développement d’Applications) was presented to help future engineer in conception and maintenance of hybrid solutions involving deep Learning among other methods. Key questions are explained and solutions proposed : how to VALIDATE such a solution ? for instance.
September 18th, Gérard Yahiaoui presented research activities of Nexyad and particularly Driving Risk calculation in real time to INSA Rouen Engineering School students, maths and computing option’s.
But with no distraction, no anger, no rush, no mood, just like the day of patent when one have it…
An Autonomous Driving System (AD System) is NOT a system that can detect « everything » and can react then the right way to « every detected situation ».
Human driver is much safer, in average, at 50 years old than at 18, although detection capabilities and reflexes are much better at 18. Improvement of safety comes from anticipation capabilities and application of safety rules in absence of detection.
NEXYAD proposes the technology SafetyNex that computes in real time at each moment the risk that the driver (human being or AD system) is taking. 75% of the Driving risk comes from the inadequation of Driving behaviour to infrastructure characteristics (so for those 75% no need for mobiles detection, and SafetyNex can assess this risk with only a GPS, a digital map, and accelerometers. With SafetyNex, the AD System is « AWARE » of the Driving risk it is currently taking and then can Apply heuristics of cautiousness even without (before) detecting any problem : i.e. slightly slowing down before a priority to the right … is a rule of cautiousness that avoids MANY accident without need for accurate ADAS detection.Driving behaviour becomes then more « human »
Here is a video of ObstaNex, by NEXYAD, detecting cars with a regular smartphone, feeding the real time Driving risk computing SafetyNex with additional inputs such as Interdistance, for instance.
ENHANCED safety functionality for everyone (every smartphone or modern dashcam owner). Detection results may vary a little depending on quality of camera, but anyway, it brings safety alerts and can save your life.
Already integrated into dashcams for intelligent telematics.
Gérard YAHIAOUI presented Artificial Intelligence SafetyNex at Meetup « Connected Vehicles : Technologies and Applications organized by Laurent Dunys, COO of Xmotion.

Nexyad CEO speaker at Challenge Startup & Innovation Summit
CEO OF NEXYAD WAS A SPEAKER AT THE PARIS CHALLENGEr STARTUP & INNOVATION SUMMIT ON AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) YESTERDAY, 2019 March 27th.
NEXYAD was pleased to participate to this summit on Artificial Intelligence. We could explain how our Artificial Intelligence -based software component SafetyNex is now embedded in many products worldwide and how it transforms industry (aftermarket for telematics – fleets & insurance -, new vehicles – cockpit and AD systems ).
We also explained how such a module, via a reward system, can be used by B2C mass market distribution firms to acquire consumers at low cost, in a « nudge » positive loop that will save many lives.
And we were very interested in other speakers presentations with so many different interesting point of views on AI.
AI to Serve Road Safety
Artificial intelligence is developing in many sectors including automotive.
Zérotracas met Gérard Yahiaoui, CEO of Nexyad, who presented his SafetyNex driver alert solution.
Thanks to its embedded artificial intelligence, SafetyNex computes at every moment the risk taken by the driver and the alert case of risk taking too important to improve its safety and avoid the accident.
Check out the company that received the Innovation Award for Road Safety for this solution.
February 20th was held at the House of the RATP the award ceremony of the Innovation Road Safety Challenge and Innovation Road Safety Award. Through these two competitions, Delegation to road safety attached to French Ministry of Interior supports innovations that make the road safer.
Nexyad presented SafetyNex, Artificial Intelligence based software component that computes at each moment the Driving Risk (like the teacher besides you the day of the driving licence) that the driver is currently taking :
. for human drivers, a vocal alert makes you aware that your taking too much risk and then driver can slow down and avoid emergency situations
. for Autonomous Driving systems, it is possible to servo-control Driving Risk and keep it under a maximum accepted risk value : AD system becomes adaptive to risk.
All Nexyad Team is proud with this Innovation Prize !
