Advanced Mobility Analytics Group announces the strategic appointment of Chief Business Development Officer and Product General Manager
Brisbane Queensland, Australia, September 20th, 2021. Advanced Mobility Analytics Group announces a global partnership with Matrix Traffic and Transport Data spanning Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Matrix has been in operation for 16+ years, undertaking many types of surveys including pneumatic tubes and fixed cameras. Within the structure of the partnership between AMAG and Matrix, the intention is to look at the intersection of
Pointerra and AMAG partner in road transport sector initiative 3D data analytics company Pointerra Limited (ASX:3DP) (Pointerra; Company) and Australian predictive analytics management company Advanced Mobility Analytics Group Pty Ltd (AMAG) have signed a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deliver a new solution and accelerate sales growth across the global road transport sector. Pointerra is an Australian public company focussed on the global commercialisation
AMAG enlists leading global marketing professional to aid in making smarter, safer cities through the application of cutting-edge AI/ML
AMAG has developed a state-of-the-art camera calibration technique to convert trajectories observed in pixel coordinates to real-world latitude and longitude coordinates.
To transform the way road safety is understood, AMAG leverages sophisticated video and Lidar analytics technologies, cloud and edge computing, vision engineering, artificial intelligence, and advanced econometric and statistical techniques to identify and diagnose safety concerns well before accidents occur—delivered through a Softwareas-a-Service platform called SMART. “We are a company focused on social good. Our success directly translates to saving lives, preventing injuries, making transport systems more efficient, and making society more livable,” expresses Simon Washington, managing director and CEO of AMAG. The company helps governments overcome the challenges of legacy systems and methods for assessing and actioning road user safety improvements by delivering technology that identifies infrastructure and operational deficiencies before they contribute to serious crashes. AMAG’s SMART delivers solutions to local, regional, and state governments to better manage and operate transport systems for improved safety for all road users.
These proactive solutions offer the promise of using surrogate measures of safety, rather than crashes, to inform and guide safety investment and management decisions, with the intent to deliver safer operations.
This project is funded by Road Safety and Innovation Fund Round 2 that is currently conducted by Dr. Shamsi Shekari (leader) and Prof Simon Smith (Chief Investigator) at the Institute for Social Science Research, the University of Queensland. This is the first study in Australia that assesses schoolchildren’s safety via a vision-based tracking platform.
Despite more than 50 years of research and advancements in road safety evaluations using traffic conflict methods, a major lacuna that hampered their widespread application was their inability to accurately predict the severity component of crashes in addition to their frequency. Ignoring crash severity in road safety evaluations could be counterproductive as the safety treatments being implemented could decrease the number of crashes occurring at a location, but, possibly, increase their
