Leveraging AI and tech for EV safety

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being integrated into electric vehicles (EVs) to improve safety features. Indian brands like Tresa Motors leverage in-house AI expertise to develop resilient BMS systems.

AI has become sophisticated with advanced integration and its use for electric vehicles is transforming the market. OEMs are using advanced technology to enhance vehicle safety and help safeguard lives on the road. AI extracts important data on factors that impact operators, including weather conditions, road topography, traffic patterns, and common performance issues. AI optimizes vehicle performance to address anticipated safety concerns by analyzing this data. Here are ways electric vehicle manufacturers are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies to enhance safety features:

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: These systems help drivers operate their vehicles safely by including features such as autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. Using sensors and cameras, ADAS detects nearby obstacles or driver errors and responds accordingly. Indian brands like Tresa Motors leverage inhouse AI expertise. Tresa’s 3D mapping technology, powered by LIDAR sensor fusion, revolutionizes route optimization and energy conservation for drivers and fleet management. It predicts road conditions, hazards, and obstacles, ensuring driver safety and optimizing energy usage by continuously mapping and re-locating routes in real-time.

Battery Management Systems: A BMS is a critical component for the safety and reliability of the battery pack powering an electric vehicle. AI enhances BMS by monitoring cell health, temperature, and charging cycles to deliver optimal efficiency and prevent safety hazards. Tresa Motors is developing resilient BMS systems in-house, with a strong emphasis on safety, especially for high-capacity packs.Advanced Telematics Platforms: These platforms provide critical insights into driver behaviour and risks in real-time. Data on harsh braking, acceleration, and cornering helps identify unsafe manoeuvres or traffic violations. Location tracking verifies stoppage times and route deviations. This data improves individual driver safety and contributes to overall road safety by reducing the likelihood of accidents and enhancing responsiveness to incidents. Telematics systems of Tresa Motors stream over 500 monitoring points to the cloud for constant performance, safety, and efficiency analytics.

Vehicle-to-Everything Connectivity: This technology allows vehicles to share information with other vehicles on the road, enhancing driver safety. V2X enables drivers to take preventive actions by informing others of road accidents, potholes, and other hazards ahead.

As India expedites its connected vehicle infrastructure, such technologies will be pivotal in achieving the goal of zero road fatalities. EV manufacturers understand the paramount importance of driver safety and thus they are committing to craft cutting-edge electric vehicles.
