BONANG.AI FIGHTS CRIME IN THE CITY

BONANG.AI FIGHTS CRIME IN THE CITY

According to Statistics South Africa, there were an estimated 88 000 incidences of theft of motor vehicles in 2019/20, affecting 0,5% of South African households. About 79% of households that experienced theft of motor vehicles reported the crime to the police, which is a 7,6% decrease compared to the previous year. An estimated 169 000 incidences of home robberies occurred, affecting 139 000 households in 2019/20. The FBI reports that $7.4 billion was lost to motor vehicle theft in 2020. The average dollar loss per theft was $9,166. In 2020, 810,400 vehicles were stolen, the highest annual number of vehicles stolen since 2008, when 959,059 vehicles were stolen.

There has never been a more urgent need for comprehensive security and surveillance solutions to augment our human resources. Since we cannot be everywhere and see everything that's going on around us, we need tools to be our extra pair of eyes. Traditional security and surveillance systems function like additional sets of eyes, helping us keep watch over multiple locations simultaneously using remote cameras and centrally located CCTV monitors. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have transformed this concept into something much more robust, with software that can analyze what's happening on the screen and proactively alert authorities when something isn't quite right.

We present the BONANG.ai Intelligent Security and Surveillance systems which are more complex than their predecessors because their tasks are more complex. BONANG. ai Smart City Platform is an End-To-End AI System designed to detect and track vehicles as well as pedestrians and to estimate a safety metric for an intersection. Object tracking recognizes the same object across successive frames, giving the ability to estimate trajectories and speeds of the objects. The Platform also detects collisions and near misses. A real-time dashboard visualizes the intelligence extracted from the traffic intersection along with annotated video stream(s).This collected intelligence can be used to adjust traffic lights to optimize the traffic flow of the intersection, or to evaluate and enhance the safety of the intersection by allowing emergency services notifications, such as calls to the Police or Armed Response, to be triggered by collision detection or break ins, reducing emergency response times.

The demand for intelligent security and surveillance solutions is growing at a CAGR of 12-15% , fueled in large part by security concerns and government spending. These solutions differ from traditional surveillance systems in that digital technology now enables more complex applications and usage models. Whereas previous surveillance solutions fed video to a bank of screens, digital systems enable multi-channel streaming, real-time software-based analytics, event-triggered alerting, temporary site surveillance, and much more. Consider some of the many ways BONANG.ai solutions are being applied in our global society today:

1. Home and Commercial Property

Surveillance: Providing security for public and private facilities continues to expand and now includes setting up site surveillance temporarily.

2. Vehicle Surveillance:

Watching over the actions in and around vehicles and transportation systems, including police vehicles, emergency response equipment, cars, buses, planes and trains.

3. Intelligent Traffic Management:

Proactively and re-actively responding to traffic-related events, devices such as highway on-ramp meters, toll collection systems, red-light traffic cameras and other intelligent traffic control devices are part of the growing usage model for BONANG.ai Smart City systems.

4. Business Intelligence:

BONANG.ai systems can now intelligently gather and analyze business operational data as well as anonymous information about customer traffic patterns, demographics, and sales conversion rates.
