Edge computing specialist NEXCOM is partnering spatial intelligence developer Kodifly to develop new spatial data-driven smart city solutions, including for public transit and infrastructure management.

Kodifly offers AI solutions focused on smart city infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on perception systems and blind spot detection designed to enhance on-road safety and driver awareness.

Kodifly is set to employ NEXCOM’s ruggedized Edge AI in-vehicle computers equipped with NVIDIA Jetson modules and enclosure for In-Vehicle/Rail of E13, EN50155, EN45545-2, MIL-STD-810H certifications. The company anticipates its spatial intelligence algorithms will run greater speed and reliability.

NEXCOM offers a software service called NEXCOM Accelerator Linux (NAL), integrating the NVIDIA Jetson JetPack 5.1.1 software development kit package, Ubuntu 20.04, an onboard MCU Library, and custom-made peripheral I/O functionality drivers. It provides developers with efficient control of the hardware and NVIDIA Jetson modules through APIs, sample code, and I/O utility. NAL will be deployed by Kodifly to boost complex data processing for smart city applications.

Leo Chang, Assistant Vice President, At NEXCOM’s Mobile Computing Solutions (MCS) Business Unit, expresses that “Our collaboration with Kodifly marks the commencement of a journey towards innovation, reinforcement of urban infrastructure, and the development of safer, smarter cities. Kodifly has built numerous new application solutions driven by cutting-edge AI technology to enhance the safety of journeys. NEXCOM plays a pivotal role by providing specialized Railway AI computer powered by NVIDIA Jetson devices featuring ruggedized IP67 and Rail certified feature. This partnership will lead to even more synergy in the development of future transportation solutions.”

“We are thrilled to collaborate with NEXCOM. The partnership will significantly boost the performance and reliability of our solutions, making a substantial impact in the realm of smart city infrastructure,” said Henry Wong, CEO at Kodifly.
