Based on Raven, the company's original all-in-one connected vehicle system for consumers and businesses, Raven+ features a sleek, new hardware design with a bigger screen, driver assistant displays, and an innovative thermal mitigation design that allows the device to operate in even the hottest environments.
Raven+ leverages the GPU on the Qualcomm® Vision Intelligence Platform based on the Qualcomm® APQ8056 chip and Qualcomm® AI Engine to provide improved power efficiency and AI performance. Raven+ cameras incorporate Mapbox's Vision SDK to perform road-facing AI and simultaneously detect and encode roadway events. The Vision SDK detects impending collisions, tailgating, stop sign roll-throughs, and speed signs in real-time, relaying the information instantly to drivers and passengers, while documenting the roadway data for fleet managers and operators.
Tory Smith, Product Manager for the Vision SDK at Mapbox, commented, "We've been collaborating with the Raven Connected team to ensure Raven+ is fully compatible with our Vision SDK, powering sophisticated computer vision features on their platform for detecting all types of driving events, from tailgating to pedestrian alerts. We're very excited to be involved with the unveiling of this new all-in-one connected vehicle solution."
Building on Raven's robust feature set, including dual dash cameras, security, GPS tracking, navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot, facial recognition, geofencing and vehicle insights, Raven+ takes driver and vehicle safety to a new level.
"The Raven+ platform is perfect for implementing advanced vehicle AI systems like Mapbox Vision SDK as a real-world solution." said Dan Carruthers, CEO of Raven Connected. "Technologies such as these help our consumer and business users improve driving behavior and vehicle safety."
