University of Maryland

Using AI to Measure Driver Performance and Incentivize Positive Behavioral Change

Purpose:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Next Generation Internet (NGI), the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with other emerging technologies presents unparalleled opportunities to revolutionize various sectors. SafeMode, in collaboration with the University of Maryland and under the auspices of the NGI Enrichers program, embarked on a transformative journey to harness these opportunities within the realm of transportation and driver behavior.

SafeMode’s collaboration with the University of Maryland, under the auspices of the NGI Enrichers program, is a testament to our commitment to advancing the Next Generation Internet (NGI) technologies. Our project, at its core, is an embodiment of NGI’s vision: creating a more open, intelligent, and participatory internet. By integrating AI with other NGI technologies such as IoT, Big Data, and Cloud computing, we aim to develop a sophisticated system that can measure driver performance in real-time. This system not only captures driving data but also processes it in the cloud, leveraging the decentralized nature of NGI to ensure data sovereignty and trust.
