AAEON – Start Your Journey to Embedded In-Vehicle Excellence

From fleet management and high-value asset transportation in the logistics sphere to law enforcement and personal security, what is being asked of vehicle suppliers is changing, with the capacity to support AI at the edge becoming less of a luxury, and more of an expectation.

The growing prevalence of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), real-time threat and hazard detection, and autonomous functions has revolutionized the entire market, and AAEON is at the frontier of bringing this technology from conception to market. Through precise evaluation of industry needs and an agile approach to integrating new technologies into its embedded AI computers, AAEON can not only accelerate your route to deployment, but help you navigate pain points along the way.

Challenges in In-Vehicle Security

Barriers to deploying in-vehicle solutions stem from products not possessing the required balance or versatility for in-vehicle use. For example, many have difficulty finding systems that offer functions that are both specific and crucial to their application’s function, such as a lack of support for the high camera frame rates required to provide precise data to a system’s AI engine for real-time inferencing.

Other common hurdles include scenarios where systems excel in some areas, such as hosting both high-speed data acquisition and powerful AI inferencing performance, but with a limited number of interfaces with which to connect vital peripherals, such as sensors and cameras. This can be an issue when a solution requires six cameras, yet the only products available on the market offer four interfaces capable of supporting cameras with the required speed.

There are also environmental factors that can make an otherwise perfect product unsuitable, such as a lack of durability. Whether an embedded PC is deployed as part of a driver behavior analysis, fleet management, or threat detection application, the environment in which it is required to operate is demanding. High levels of vibration, variation in power supply, and temperature fluctuation can all reduce the longevity of a product not equipped to deal with such conditions. As a consequence, users may see excellent short-term performance, but experience increasing total cost of ownership that stems from frequent maintenance, repair, or component replacement.

The Road to a Safer Future

ADAS

GMSL2 camera support allows the BOXER-8645AI and BOXER-8655AI to acquire and transmit high-quality image data for inferencing without latency, executing crucial ADAS application tasks like object detection, lane departure warnings, and collision avoidance protocols instantly.

Fleet Management

CAN, IMU, and GNSS support across AAEON’s AI in-vehicle PC range offers versatile functionality catered to fleet management, with vehicle tracking, predictive maintenance, stability control, and route optimization all made possible at scale.

In-Vehicle Security

The VPC-5640S and BOXER-8658AI’s PoE LAN ensures consistent power delivery with built-in surge protection and robust connectivity, allowing for power-efficient operation and multi-device connectivity for versatile, scalable surveillance applications.

Ready-for-Anything Solution

To combat these pain points, AAEON has developed a range of embedded AI in-vehicle PCs each tailored to suit a variety of needs across different settings. Each model features key technologies, including elite AI inference performance, multiple GMSL2 and PoE interfaces for high bandwidth camera installation. Crucially though, AAEON’s embedded in-vehicle PCs share one universal trait – environmental resilience. Built to thrive in the harsh settings required, AAEON’s selection of in-vehicle PCs bring peace of mind through their military-grade durability, in-built GNSS, 9-axis sensor, and G-Sensor support.

The Intel-powered VPC-5640S and BOXER-8658AI, featuring the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX module, both offer multiple PoE LAN ports through which advanced surveillance tasks can be managed, including the monitoring of driver fatigue, passenger behavior, and conditions surrounding the vehicle. Additional features such as isolated CANBus FD facilitate the collection of data from vehicle, while LTE support enables wireless transmission of this data to a central control point.

The BOXER-8645AI and BOXER-8655AI meanwhile both lend themselves to ADAS deployments, given their support for up to eight GMSL2 cameras via FAKRA connectors. Moreover, the inclusion of elite NVIDIA Jetson inferencing technology allows for precise object detection and high-bandwidth image data analysis, ideal for determining the presence of obstacles, pedestrians, and other hazards outside of the vehicle.

The extensive wireless connectivity and in-built navigation tools possessed by AAEON’s embedded in-vehicle PCs also lend them to deployment as fleet management solutions, with GPS, NEO-M9V, and G-Sensor data, among other sensors, being shared without latency to control centers for accurate insights into route efficiency, driver behavior, and vehicle performance. Despite each of AAEON’s embedded in-vehicle PCs being equipped with their own set of unique interfaces suited to different types of in-vehicle application, one universal trait is present throughout – environmental resilience. Built to thrive in the harsh settings required, AAEON’s selection of in-vehicle PCs bring peace of mind through their military-grade durability, making them resistant to the shock, vibration, and environmental fluctuations encountered on the road.
