Moia and the automotive software provider Emotion 3D have developed a system for monitoring the self-driving ID Buzz AD. According to Moia, the software takes over safety tasks that were previously performed by the driving personnel using artificial intelligence. For example, the system automatically detects whether the doors are clear, an object is blocking the cabin floor, or how bright it is in the vehicle. In the coming months, the interior analysis and customer experiences with the automated processes will be tested.

Cameras in the interior provide the data, which is evaluated with the 'CABIN EYE' software stack from Emotion 3D and transmitted to Moia's software. The principles of the General Data Protection Regulation are respected, it says. According to the statement, Moia is committed to 'privacy by design'. The automated interior monitoring is intended to reduce operating costs for operators of autonomous vehicle fleets. Among other things, because the ratio between dispatchers in the fleet control center and vehicles is reduced.

Automated interior analysis for secondary tasks

The interior monitoring checks the permissible number of passengers at the stops as well as their correct fastening of the seat belts. The drive release takes place "within a few seconds". If necessary, a note is forwarded to the control center. This can issue the drive release from the outside in individual cases and communicate with the passengers via an audio connection.

"With this, we want to set an industry standard," assesses Ralf Sigmund, Chief Technology Officer of Moia, the automated interior monitoring. Florian Seitner, Chief Executive Officer of Emotion 3D, adds: "Interior analysis is an often underestimated but crucial component of an autonomous mobility service."
