Depuis 10 ans déjà, Mov’eo facilite les innovations en matière de transport intelligent et de mobilité entre les initiatives entrepreneuriales et les grand groupes automobiles. Fort de cette expérience, le pôle de compétitivité lance « PME championne », un nouveau programme d’excellence pour permettre aux PME et aux start-up innovantes de passer la vitesse supérieure. Objectif pour Mov’eo : identifier et accélérer 3 pépites disruptives dans l’écosystème français par an. NEXYAD et ADACCESS sont les deux premières à intégrer ce programme d’exception.
Un programme pour booster les PME et les start-up au plus fort potentiel sur le marché .
Les constructeurs automobiles prennent modèle sur les start-ups pour inventer de nouvelles méthodes de travail. L’objectif ? Attirer de nouveaux talents, coller au plus près des évolutions technologiques et rester dans la course à l’innovation face aux Google, Apple et autres Tesla.
En 2004, PSA inaugurait en grande pompe son centre d’études ADN (Automotive Design Network), à Vélizy (78). Extérieurement, un bâtiment à l’architecture futuriste, toisant de sa hauteur respectable la route nationale 118 qui file en contrebas. À l’intérieur, en revanche, l’ADN est plus classique : des locaux standard, propres mais un peu austères, à l’image du reste du centre d’études de Vélizy, implanté là depuis les années 1960.
Pourtant, un nouveau service s’y est installé, qui semble bénéficier d’un traitement de faveur. Il se distingue déjà par son nom : UX City (ou UXCT), suggérant que l’on pénètre ici dans un monde un peu à part. Spécialisé dans les interfaces et la vie à bord, ce nouveau plateau a poussé comme un champignon en cinq mois, et regroupe déjà 230 spécialistes issus d’horizons aussi variés que le cinéma, les sciences humaines, l’ingénierie ou la programmation. Dans cette City dans la cité, les salles de réunion s’appellent des « wagons » (et on peut y écrire sur les murs, qui sont revêtus de films plastiques lavables !), l’open space a des allures de loft new-yorkais aux murs colorés et l’on y trouve même des… parasols ! Pour un peu, on pourrait se croire chez Google ou Facebook.
Aujourd’hui le JDN ou Journal Du Net publie l’information que nous vous proposions il y a quelques jours en avant première : Mov’eo consacre Nexyad PME Championne.
Le pôle de compétitivité dédié à l’automobile lance le programme « PME championne » pour accompagner la croissance des entreprises les plus prometteuses du secteur.
Adaccess et Nexyad sont les deux premières PME à avoir été choisies. La première, créée en 2013, a séduit Mov’eo avec eVa, une plateforme de mutualisation des données anonymisées générées par les véhicules connectés à destination de l’industrie automobile. « Les essais par roulage coûtent très cher donc cette solution de mutualisation permet à tous les acteurs internationaux de la R&D automobile d’accéder aux data que leurs partenaires et concurrents veulent partager. »
La start-up yvelinoise Nexyad a aussi tapé dans l’œil du pôle grâce à SafetyNex, une application mobile qui estime en temps réel le risque de conduite. Elle alerte vocalement le conducteur avant un danger pour qu’il puisse ralentir, avec la promesse d’une réduction de 20% du nombre d’accident, et enregistre les profils d’usages et de risque des utilisateurs. Lauréate du BMW Tech Date en 2016, Nexyad s’adresse aux constructeurs et aux équipementiers qui veulent fournir une navigation intelligente en première et/ou en seconde monte ainsi qu’aux assureurs automobiles qui souhaitent proposer des contrats personnalisés. « Des négociations avancées sont déjà en cours avec des assureurs et la sortie officielle est proche », assure Thierry Bapin.

Complementing the vehicle’s HUD, embedded front-view and driver monitoring cameras trigger “smart alerts” in the form of lights and sounds when the driver is not paying attention to the road, if the vehicle strays from its lane, or if the vehicle is at risk of potentially hitting an object. For example, when a pedestrian or bicycle is present on the side of the road, an LED light projects onto the windshield within a 90-degree angle of the driver’s line of sight, giving a visual alert without the driver needing to turn his or her head.
Two onboard cameras look at the front of the car (a video for the demo),
detect obstacles and alerts the driver via a HUD.

Example of SafetyNex Risk Profiles Data
See below an example of Risk Profile Data Nexyad is able to give to their customers. SafetyNex provides Eco Driving profiles data, and usages profiles (Kms, date, hours, kind of roads, etc…) all of these can be crossed with Risk Profiles.
Risk profiles estimated by SafetyNex: Analysis of profiles, and possible use to detect fatigue and hypovigilance of driver.
SafetyNex is a nomadic real-time risk estimation system. The system has been described in detail in previous publications [1] and uses the key concept of « near-accident » or « quasi-accident », and is a result of 15 years of collaborative research with road safety experts and researchers.
The main competitive advantage of SafetyNex is that it allows, since the risk is estimated in real time,
to warn the driver (vocal alert), and thus to allow driver to avoid accident. Studies show that SafetyNex can reduce accident rate by 20% [2], which represents for insurers and fleet managers a consequent increase in margin [3].
But of course, SafetyNex also records usage and risk profiles. These profiles provide the behavior of the driver, or more precisely, his/her ability to regulate driving task consistently with danger. No need to record large volumes of data (accelerations, etc…) which in reality are not data (these are signals) for a possible back-office analysis, SafetyNex provides exactly the interesting data [4].
Below are examples of usage profiles and driver risk profiles.
Nexyad invited to the 4th « Les rencontres du Fleet Management »
Last thursday 26th of january 2017, Gérard Yahiaoui CEO of Nexyad participated to a panel debate in Paris near Les Champs Elysées. He was invited as road safety telematics expert. Marie-Amélie Fenoll journalist at Decision Achats animated the discussion between other speakers : Jean-Yves Marie Rose of Ademe, Julien Honnart of Wayzup, Didier Blocus of ALD Automotive France, Edwin Colella and Alain Sinquin of Octo Telematics.
Fleet Management faces numerous problems and stakes in terms of safety, monitoring of drivers, training and loss costs. Gérard Yahiaoui presented SafetyNex App risk assessment in real time, that warns the driver before danger and gives individual and global risk profiles and usage profiles. An API of SafetyNex will be available very soon to integrate in any device. SafetyNex use allows to reduce accident rate by 20%.
