The winner of the inaugural Truck of the Future program is a UK-based company, Humanising Autonomy. A \u201cbehavior AI company,\u201d it uses a methodology combining behavioral psychology, statistical artificial intelligence, and novel deep learning algorithms to understand, infer and predict the full spectrum of human behaviors.<\/p>\n
Humanising Autonomy will use its computer vision and behavior AI technology to add a nuanced understanding of vulnerable road user behavior to fleets. The software will help improve fleet driver visibility and reaction times, and the project will leverage the hardware and video telematics abilities of the company’s integration partners, StreamMax and VisionTrack. Deployments will take place in collaboration with Anheuser-Busch, Republic Services, and NYC DCAS in the New York metro area and in Guadalajara, Mexico.<\/p>\n While some truck makers have been developing technology to help detect vulnerable road users in blind zones, Together for Safer Roads is looking to push technology in this area even further with its Truck of the Future project.

This development in fleet safety will help to bridge that existing divide.\u201d<\/p>\n Together for Safer Roads is a global non-profit organization that works with government, businesses and community stakeholders on local projects, fleet safety management and technology initiatives to prevent traffic crashes, injuries and deaths. TSR was started in conjunction with the UN’s Decade of Road safety and has partners around the world. TSR’s members include AB InBev, AT&T, CalAmp, Geotab, Lyft, Marsh, PepsiCo, Republic Services, Samsara, UPS and others.<\/p>\n TSR is using the Truck of the Future announcement to also launch its Summer of Innovation, in which the organization will highlight all of the Safer Roads Studios<\/a> initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n by Heavy Duty Trucking Staff<\/a><\/p>\n![\"While](\"https:\/\/fleetimages.bobitstudios.com\/upload\/trucking-info\/content\/news\/2021-06\/bicyclist-mirrorcam-daimlertruck-__-720x516-s.jpg\")
