Aizatron, in collaboration with the Datum and the AC Group built an African first smart public Transport device.  This was built in record time in our Cape Town R&D labs. The solution currently sends all its information into a cloud based big data Analytics engine as well as stores data locally. The system will be running both local and cloud-based machine learning software making the devices smarter the longer they run. 

We are currently in Rwanda deploying this African developed smart public transport solution in collaboration with our partners where plan to deploy more than 1000 devices over the next couple of months. The device has the ability to do the following:

•  Provide visual analysis of routes, number of passengers, speed, etc.
•  Use machine learning to provide deeper insights into routes
•  Provide automatic recon of tickets sold vs. people on bus
•  Provide alerts to overloading 
•  Allowing users to use virtual 3D barcodes on their as their tickets – no physical ticket/card
•  Use facial recognition to detect criminals/vandals and send immediate notification to Authorities 
•  Provide a consumer app to track bus in real time/buy tickets and provide timetables

Aizatron believes that the fourth Industrial revolution provides Africa with a great opportunity to leapfrog legacy solutions and use latest technologies to build future proof solutions driven by smart devices and customizable open software.
