Howen’s innovation of customized vehicle solutions with MDVR and VSS has never stopped. Lately from Guatemala, we received heart-stirring news from our client that our tailor-made project will be landed in one month. Several months ago, our Guatemalan client reached out to Howen for an applicable solution. They are one of the biggest truck companies which have been operating oil and soil transportation over many decades in Guatemala.

What made our clients’ headaches?

In daily operation, our client found a series of issues which might cause the millions dollar of loss, such as fatigued driving, oil theft, and so on. It’s also reported that truck accidents happen frequently nationwide. Due to the facts, our client increasingly longs for a vehicle surveillance solution to effectively supervise the internal and surrounding environment of their trucks.

AI термодетектор заново открыл двери в учебные учреждения в Бахрейне

3 сентября, 2020/в AI Thermal Detector, Company News /от administrator

Страны по всему миру сталкиваются с разными обстоятельствами от COVID-19, что означает они борются с разными вызовами. Начиная от перегруженной системы здравоохранения и заканчивая массовыми мероприятиями, компании и агентства тщательно рассматривают любые возможные решения, которые позволят вернуть все в прежнее русло.

Школы используют сканнеры от компании Howen для проверки посещаемости студентов

В связи с началом открытия кампусы и школы сталкиваются с необходимостью создания эффективных систем мониторинга прогулов для регулярного информирования об отсутствии и состоянии здоровья учащихся и сотрудников как это предлагает ВОЗ. Международная школа AMA, одна из ведущих учебных заведений в Бахрейне, выбрала Howen AI сканеры-тепловизоры в качестве необходимого оборудования, чтобы на регулярной основе безопасно предлагать учащимся самый лучший вариант обучения.

AI сканер-тепловизор с молниеносной скоростью обнаружения может выполнять тяжелые задачи в школе, сохраняя точность измерения температуры ± 0,2. Кроме того, датчики, подключенные к школьной сети, могут функционировать как система контроля прогулов. Сотрудникам школ больше не нужно стоять у входа и по очереди проверять температуру. Как мы видим в ролике, сканер выдает всплывающее уведомление если объект передвижения не носит маску.

Сканеры-тепловизоры вызывают доверие клиентов

Компании должны не только гарантировать безопасность сотрудников на рабочем месте, но и предоставлять профессиональные и безопасные услуги которые будут вызывать доверие клиентов. На Ближнем Востоке авиакомпания Emirates внедрила тепловое обнаружение для проверки пассажиров вылетающих из Дубая. Будучи одним из крупнейших местных финансовых институтов Bahrain Credit выбрала Howen AI сканер-тепловизор, чтобы предоставить гарантированную безопасность своим клиентам.

Вместо того, чтобы вводить данные с клавиатуры или проводить пальцем для идентификации личности для входа, клиентам Bahrain Credit нужно только подойти к тепловому датчику и дверь откроется, если температура объекта ниже 37,5 ℃. В этот бесконтактный детектор встроены две камеры ночного виденья, которые удваивают количество падающего света и позволяют определять температуру объектов на расстоянии 1,2 м, что значительно снижает нагрузку на персонал и создает безопасную среду как для сотрудников, так и для клиентов.

Howen тесно сотрудничает с автопроизводителями для AI видео решений

27 августа, 2020/в Company News /от administrator

За более чем десятилетний опыт обслуживания автомобилей компания Howen приобрела отличную репутацию во всем мире. Наше успешная установка MDVR и VSS привлекла много клиентов, которые рассказали о наших кейсах в своих странах. Благодаря этим бесчисленным одобрениям и рекомендациям мы недавно начали сотрудничество с ведущей международной автомобильной компанией, которая в общей сложности отправила на экспорт более 80 000 единиц автобусов в более чем 130 стран.

Мы тесно сотрудничаем с данной автомобильной компанией, чтобы успешно запустить проект AI видео решения для 100 туристических автобусов на Ближнем Востоке. В отличие от транзитных автобусов, которые обычно используются для перевозки на короткие расстояния, автобусы дальнего следования предназначены для перевозок на длинные расстояния, такие как туристические и международные перевозки, требующие более высокой скорости.

Наш клиент был осведомлен о потенциальных проблемах, связанных с плохо выполняемыми водительскими обязанности на примере трагедии, которая случилась в США два года назад. Такого рода проблема может скорее всего произойти в более быстрых автобусах при длительном вождении. Поэтому автомобильная компания предложила использовать технологию искусственного интеллекта для минимизации потенциальных рисков и обеспечения безопасности пассажиров. После дальнейшего анализа условий эксплуатации и особых потребностей мы приступили к настройке и тестированию комплексного AI видео решения.

Защита на 360° от MDVR и AI систем

MDVR Howen ME32-04 с 4 каналами представленный для решения поддерживает несколько дополнительных модулей и периферийных устройств. Как сборщик данных для туристического автобуса он подключается к нашим автомобильным камерам V24, V26, V30, которые обеспечивают полный обзор автобуса. Эти AHD-камеры с матрицей Sony CMOS 1/3 дюйма 1M и более чем 12 ИК-датчиками обеспечивают исключительное качество записи днем и ночью.

Стоит упомянуть о нашем специализированном приложении ADAS + DMS AI системы. Эта интеллектуальная система, оснащенная 2 камерами и передовыми алгоритмами искусственного интеллекта может отслеживать поведение водителей и потенциальные риски на дорогах. Усовершенствованная современная система помощи водителю(ADAS) активно обнаруживает окружение транспортных средств через переднюю камеру для обеспечения помощи при вождении: предупреждение о лобовом столкновении (FCW), предупреждение о мониторинге движения (HMW), предупреждение о выезде с полосы движения (LDW) и предупреждение о фронтальном столкновении в городе (UFCW). Эти предупреждения позволяют водителям действовать предельно быстро и обезопасить пассажиров.

При дальнем и длительном вождении точное определение условий водителя автобуса может значительно снизить риски, вызванные субъективными факторами. Система мониторинга водителя (DMS) может определять условия работы водителей по их чертам лица. Когда один водитель непрерывно управляет автобусами в течение 4 часов система DMS дает сигнал водителю о необходимости взять перерыв на отдых или поменяться местами с другим водителем. Более того DMS может автоматически анализировать изменения лица водителей автобусов, чтобы принимать решения и генерировать предупреждения. DMS выдает серию предупреждений, когда водители нарушают правила безопасного вождения, например, закрывают глаза, зевают, звонят и т.д.

Дополнительные факты о VSS

Более того мы успешно подключили эти устройства к нашей Системе обслуживания транспортных средств (VSS). Когда какое-либо поведение водителя или дорожные происшествие активизируют срабатывание сигнала система ADAS DMS автоматически записывает изображения или видео в заданное время и отправляет их в VSS. Кроме того, руководство автопарка может просматривать всю информацию о транспортных средствах, включая потоковое видео и географическое местоположение для оптимизации производительности автопарка и бюджетных расходов.

New Starlight Vehicle Cameras Take Night View to Next Level

24 августа, 2020/в Company News, Product Release /от administrator

Driving buses and trucks at night have always been a high-risk event for fleet companies. Despite 60% less traffic at night, over 35% of truck accidents happened at night. On the one hand, extremely low light environments largely limit driver view sight. One the other hand, marathon-style driving for over 8 hours drained off drivers’ energy. Both of these situations expose fleets in a dangerous environment that deserves exceptional management from fleet companies. Without effective vehicle camera solutions and solid videos for evidence, fleet companies could confront millions of losses and plenty of safety issues.

injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/road-users/large-trucks/

United States — A total of 4,951 people died in large-truck crashes in 2018. The number of deaths has increased 46% since 2009 (3,380 deaths).

Howen took this situation into consideration and just released a series of vehicle cameras for better video surveillance: V25, V26, V36. They are all manufactured with solid industrial structures that are specially designed for commercial vehicles. More importantly, these vehicle cameras are equipped with our selected CMOS solution to resolve video recording in low-light situations. Traditional vehicle cameras can only record night videos while lost control of the image dynamic range, which might help with nothing when the fleet management would like to analyze further more details in the videos.

Stunning video recording quality

The latest Starlight camera series powered by Howen Starlight solution perform far beyond the traditional vehicle cameras. We cooperated in-depth with the partner who supplies the most sophisticated sensors in the world to develop this low-light solution. Besides the 960P high-resolution record capability, vehicle cameras featured with Starlight solution can provide a clearer view with distinct objects as well as colorful videos. In our comparison under the late-night environment (>0.01 lux), the Starlight cameras present a sharper, clearer, and higher dynamic range viewing.

Solid quality made for commercial vehicles

Aside from the decent image quality, our new lineup is all crafted with structures that certificated with industrial level by authoritative sections.

V26 and V36 both are certificated with IP68 protection level, which can support video recording outdoor in all seasons. What’s worth mentioning is that V26 vehicle cameras were adopted as rear cameras in Howen’s concrete trucks projects in Morroco and Guatemala due to their uncompromised reliable quality.

V25 has two different models according to application purpose and environment. V25-1MK is a vandal-proof camera marked by level IK10, the highest EU protection level to resist external mechanical impacts. Vehicle cameras with IK10 protection can protect the fleet asset from theft or damage while keeping important information in the recording.

Similar to V25-1ME’s record capability, V25-1ME can withstand higher external impacts. Its outer shell is made by high-density steel 304 which reaches the level Exdllc — the highest level in EU standard to protect cameras from gas hazards like flame and explosion. Vehicle cameras certificated with ExdIIC are specifically applied in gas or oil transportation. In our Donimica’s project, V25-1MK cameras were installed on oil and gas trucks with our fireproof cable to help our client safeguard their asset.
