Company Overview

The number of small vehicles collectively surpasses 1.5 billion globally, which is on par with the number of cars in the world. Nearly 37% of all road crash deaths every year involve powered two- and three-wheeled small vehicles. Roadio has built a software platform powered by front and back cameras with ultra-high-resolution that are agnostic to small vehicle models, enhancing safety with features like a digital rearview mirror, real hazard alerts, and forward collision warnings. This system offers 360-degree visibility using advanced computer vision and AI, functioning effectively both day and night.

Thesis Fit

By collecting fine-grained data from its rider base, Roadio builds a rich geospatial technology stack uniquely geared towards the small-vehicle market. This focus allows them to develop targeted OEM analytics, revealing crucial spatial insights like rider behavior trends, common hazard zones, optimal route planning, and infrastructure pain points. In addition, while Roadio already leverages GPS for data collection, incorporating higher-precision network GPS solutions and satellite connectivity in the future would significantly enhance the situational awareness they bring to the users.
