In this specific case of the Bosch Ridecare solution, Bosch’s involvement in Braga involved the development of the algorithm for detecting damage inside the vehicle.
This algorithm is based on machine learning techniques, capable of processing and projecting all the information generated by the various sensory systems that monitor the respective environment, be it the interior space of the passenger compartment or its passengers.
In 2017, Bosch’s contribution to Braga was also essential for the distinction at this event in the “On-board audio/video” category, thanks to a motorcyclist information system developed in Braga, at the time Car e Multimedia by Bosch.
Another Braga project received, that same year, an honorable mention in the “vehicle intelligence” category, thanks to a solution that connects the smartphone to small motorcycles or scooters, so that in the event of an accident, it issues an alert with coordinates to a specific number.
