DriveLens AI
FOR CITIES & TRANSIT

See every boarding. Match every payment.

In-cabin AI cameras track passenger boarding and movement, and match it against payment terminal events in real time — surfacing fare evasion automatically.

The Problem

  • Manual ticket inspection covers a small fraction of trips and does not scale.
  • Fare evasion is a direct, continuous revenue loss for the transit operator, independent of any government fine framework.

How It Works

1

Detect boarding

An in-cabin camera detects passenger boarding and in-vehicle movement.

2

Match payment

The system cross-references boarding events against terminal payment records by time and location.

3

Flag evasion

Unmatched boarding events are flagged as evasion candidates for review.

Boarding-to-payment matching

Every boarding event can be matched against payment activity

Privacy-conscious review

The system surfaces candidates; operators confirm before any action.

Transit-operator value

Recovered fare revenue can be evaluated independently of traffic fine frameworks.

Route-level insight

Patterns can be analyzed by time, stop, route, and enforcement coverage.

Potential Impact

Published transit research puts fare evasion at under 5% in tightly monitored systems, rising to 25–30%+ of trips in systems without consistent enforcement — a direct, recoverable revenue gap for any transit operator.

Enforcement Model

Same hybrid pattern as BusAI: AI detects and flags, a human inspector or conductor confirms before any penalty or billing action — avoiding the automatic-penalty legal objection DriveLens already resolved with MIA on BusAI.

Value Framing

Positioned to the transit operator directly, not only the city: recovered fare revenue is a simpler, more immediate argument than fine-sharing, and can be pitched independently of BusAI.
