With the exponential growth of home deliveries, the streets have become bustling, with delivery riders zipping through traffic to meet delivery deadlines. While this has provided employment opportunities and convenience for consumers, it has also raised concerns about road safety. To address this issue, Korean startup Star Pickers has developed an innovative solution called ‘Rider Log’ – an AI Mobility Safety Management Platform.
As the delivery agency business continues to expand, the number of motorcycle and two-wheeler accidents has been on the rise. This surge in accidents not only poses risks to riders and pedestrians but also leads to increased insurance premiums. Star Pickers aims to mitigate these challenges and foster a safer driving culture with its cutting-edge technology.
Tracking Driving Habits with Motion Sensors
Star Pickers’ solution is a sophisticated system that monitors and analyzes the driving habits of delivery riders. Motion sensors, discreetly placed on two-wheelers, capture detailed data on driving behavior. This data includes factors such as abrupt acceleration or deceleration, riding on sidewalks, and risky turns.
The ‘motion sensor’ technology is akin to a virtual reality system, enabling precise tracking of a rider’s finger movements and the vehicle’s posture, route, speed, and direction. Even navigating through narrow alleyways or occasional sidewalk driving, which may not be detected by GPS alone, can be accurately monitored.
Star Pickers’ AI-powered platform processes the collected data to generate comprehensive reports. These reports serve as objective feedback for delivery riders, allowing them to gain insights into their driving habits. The data-driven feedback can be used as a basis for rewarding safe driving practices and addressing instances of reckless driving.
One of the key features of Rider Log is its ability to encourage safe driving practices. By establishing reward and punishment standards based on driving habits, the platform promotes responsible behavior among delivery riders. Riders who consistently prioritize safety on the road can be recognized and rewarded, while those who engage in reckless driving can receive reprimands and educational guidance.
Future Initiatives: E-Call System
Star Pickers is not stopping at monitoring driving habits. The company is actively working on an Emergency Call (E-Call) system, which can automatically alert emergency services in the event of an accident. This technology has the potential to be a lifesaver by ensuring swift response in critical situations. Star Pickers is currently in discussions with local government bodies to implement this system, further enhancing road safety.
Since its launch, Star Pickers has garnered significant attention and support. The company’s commitment to reducing motorcycle accidents and promoting safer driving practices aligns with the evolving needs of the growing delivery industry. By harnessing the power of AI and data analytics, Star Pickers is contributing to a safer and more responsible approach to delivery services.
As the delivery sector continues to expand globally, innovative solutions like Rider Log are poised to make a lasting impact by prioritizing safety on the road.
