Global Brain has invested in Hayden AI, a leader in artificial intelligence and geospatial analytics

Global Brain has invested in Hayden AI, a pioneer in real world problem solving powered by AI and machine learning, through its GB-VIII Growth Fund Investment Limited Partnership (GB-VIII), KDDI Open Innovation Fund III (KOIF III), and ME Innovation Fund L.P. (ME Innovation Fund).

Hayden AI’s platform provides data-driven intelligence applications that help governments and businesses solve real world problems. The company’s proprietary hardware can be mounted on a variety of commercial, fleet, or passenger vehicles. Current deployments enable government agencies to enforce traffic violations that obstruct transit buses and capture valuable data that can be used to optimize operations, resulting in increased transit ridership, improved traffic efficiency, enhanced road safety, and more accessible and sustainable communities.

By using artificial intelligence to analyze the image data captured by camera sensors mounted on vehicles such as transit buses, Hayden can obtain a variety of information about the urban environment. High-fidelity simulations can generate valuable insights that help government agencies analyze traffic flow and improve operational efficiency.

Global Brain has decided to invest in Hayden AI, recognizing its leadership position in bus lane and bus stop enforcement as well as digital twin modeling. Hayden’s clients use their mobile perception system to speed up transit, make streets safer, and create a more sustainable future. GB will assist them in entering the Japanese market.
