Volta Trucks, a leading and leading manufacturer and service provider of all-electric commercial vehicles, has announced a partnership with Nexyad to deliver the next generation of driving training and assessment to help Volta Zero drivers achieve their best driving style. urban environment. atmosphere.

Nexyad, an integrated real-time platform for on-board data aggregation, uses hybrid physics-based AI to collect multiple vehicle data sources in real time and interpret them. This provides Volta Truck drivers with simple and relevant information that can help them develop an increasingly careful driving style, minimizing risks to themselves and other vulnerable road users.

The real-time data aggregation platform uses vehicle information and driving conditions to provide careful maximum speed recommendations, taking into account legal speed limits, road roughness, road topography, weather conditions and traffic. By recommending a “sensible top speed” based on real-time information, the system exceeds the European ISA (Intelligent Speed ​​​​Assist) requirements. Nexyad’s safety coach, SafetyNex, also acts as a virtual co-pilot in the cockpit while driving and provides further guidance when needed, helping to avoid emergency situations that could lead to accidents.

The real-world information gathered can provide drivers with a safety score that reflects their driving style and act as a catalyst for solutions that encourage safer driving practices. Meanwhile, fleet managers can easily track and monitor their drivers’ performance with greater precision, and insurance companies can accurately assess risk levels and offer premiums tailored to each driver’s risk profile. Over the next few months, Nexyad’s driving scores and safety trainer technology will be run on Volta Trucks prototype vehicles and will be available for customer testing. All data collected is available to the company operating the truck, which decides on the use of the data based on the existing agreement with the driver.

Volta Truck Fleet Solutions Director Casper Norden said; “Safety is at the heart of Volta Trucks and our ambition is to produce the safest trucks for the urban environment. The Volta Zero has been designed from the ground up with the driver and safety of vulnerable urban road users in mind. The innovative Nexyad system, incorporated into the Volta Zero, provides advanced information to drivers and fleet operators, helping to promote safer driving and making cities safer for all users.”

Nexyad Executive Director, Gerard Yahiaoui said; “Nexyad is proud to integrate an AI-based safety trainer into the innovative all-electric Volta Zero. Our AI technology, SafetyNex, brings the recommended safe speed to the truck dashboard and will help prevent accidents, especially in dense urban areas where Volta Trucks’ offerings make a lot of sense for delivery. Avoiding accidents is our mission, We Save Lives.”
