Dutch micromobility company Navee is using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance rider safety and operational efficiency.

At last week’s MicroMobility Europe show in Amsterdam, it introduced the Captain AI module alongside its D-series scooters and three uniquely designed e-bikes, each tailored to meet diverse performance needs.

The AI module has sensors to enable real-time detection of parking areas, pedestrians and sidewalks, empowering riders with heightened situational awareness.

Equipped with a dash camera, the module records and captures unusual conditions during rides, providing insights and evidence for incident documentation.

The Captain has a modular design, facilitating seamless integration with D-series scooters. This versatility ensures easy installation and adaptability to various operational scenarios. It is said to ensure a hassle-free user experience without compatibility concerns.

For shared fleet operators, the modular design provides flexibility and cost-efficiency. Each component, from turning indicators to display and wireless charging, can be easily swapped and adjusted to meet operational needs, reducing maintenance costs and optimising fleet performance.

Navee says it is committed to shaping the future of urban mobility by delivering innovations that prioritise safety, efficiency and sustainability, With the Captain AI module, it aims to empower riders and operators with technology and convenience.

The IoT-based module uses dual-band GNSS technology and includes acceleration and light sensors.

The D1 scooter uses lithium batteries from Samsung or LG providing rides up to 110km with 1063Wh battery capacity. There is a lighter 531Wh option with a 55km range. Maximum charging current is 5A.

Rotterdam-based Navee (naveetech.com) is a micromobility provider specialising in the R&D, production and distribution of e-scooters and e-bikes.
