In-vehicle Computer Solutions
In-vehicle Computer Solutions
BVM can provide a variety of computing solutions for harsh environment, inclusive of roadside & in vehicles applications. BVM’s work has been involved with working in and around vehicle control centre’s, fleet management and vehicle monitoring (ANPR). BVM provide both standard OEM and customised (with pre-requisite certifications in place such as compliance and E-Mark ; ISO 7637 certification) to meet the demands of information handling required by the intelligent system within the vehicle – or indeed, to support highway safety.
Our vehicle-based solutions include essential features such as:
Wide Range DC
(+9V~36V) Power Input
Additionally, features such as the availability to communicate via 3G, 4G, or 5G cellular connectivity (as well as WiFi and Bluetooth) are available with BVM solutions. Standard locational features such as GNSS – and the ability to be powered over ethernet (PoE) are also available as standard features on our solutions.
We offer a variety of hardware platforms:
In-Vehicle System PCs
Embedded system PC’s (box PC’s) for the supporting of DVR or ANPR applications. We supply systems that provide efficiencies in the handling of high volume data & HD imagery where their communication over networks is key, regarding speed of speed of transfer, integrity of data and reliability of available up time.
In-Vehicle Panel PCs
In-vehicle Panel PCs designed to withstand the shock and vibration that comes with driving a vehicle. Touchscreen Panel PCs supporting Ignition Control and Delay On/Off, available with a choice of Intel CPU’s.
Handheld PCs and Tablets
BVM’s Handheld PCs and Rugged Tablets support applications ‘on the go’ and where mobility of solution is paramount for applications involving industrial automation, healthcare, business and commerce and smart factories for warehouse management.
Rackmount PCs
BVM offers a variety of standard and customizable Rackmount PCs in sizes from 1U to 4U, catering to diverse business needs. Additionally, BVM provides Tower PC solutions for those requiring standalone computing power.
This versatility ensures that clients can find exactly the right hardware to fit their space and performance requirements.
In-Vehicle and Portable Printing
In-vehicle thermal printers are designed for permanent mounting and powered by the vehicle battery. Used by emergency services, utility companies, and fleet vehicles, they support print widths up to A4 and offer communication via USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi. BVM’s printer is ideal for printing receipts, invoices, and tickets on the go. Our lightweight and compact portable thermal printers (with Bluetooth options) are perfect for printing anywhere. They serve applications like field sales, inspections, mobile medical facilities, warehouse inventory, and ticket issuance.

AI-based Transport Solutions
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the transportation industry. Through autonomous vehicles, supply chain optimization, and improved air travel systems, AI enhances route efficiency, lowers costs, speeds up deliveries, and boosts safety, predicting a revolution in transportation logistics and services.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Transportation and the SMART City
Here are a few examples of how AI is being used in transportation and the smart city:
- Autonomous vehicles: AI enables cars, trucks, buses, and drones to operate autonomously, handling navigation, obstacle avoidance, and route decision-making to enhance travel efficiency.
- Traffic management: AI analyzes sensor data to optimize traffic flow and minimize congestion, including traffic light adjustments and vehicle rerouting.
- Public transportation: AI improves public transit by optimizing routes and schedules, reducing costs, and delivering real-time passenger updates on delays and disruptions.
- Logistics and supply chain management: AI streamlines supply chains by optimizing goods flow, routing trucks, and selecting efficient warehouse operations.
- Energy management: AI increases building efficiencies and cuts costs by regulating heating, cooling, and electricity distribution.
- Environmental monitoring: AI monitors environmental conditions, analyzing data like air quality and wildlife movements to identify public health or ecological trends.
The hardware needed for artificial intelligence (AI) varies based on the application and type of AI. Some algorithms demand powerful resources to function optimally. For instance, deep learning algorithms, used in image and speech recognition, need specialized hardware like graphics processing units (GPUs), which excel in complex matrix calculations, outperforming traditional central processing units (CPUs). In contrast, simpler AI types, such as rule-based systems, can operate on standard CPUs.
