#PlumeStrong 2024 Campaigns to Benefit Street Child and Ron Brown Scholar Program

Published

on

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Now in its fourth year, #PlumeStrong is proud to announce two significant fundraising events: the #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge (#PSCC24) and a Gala Philanthropic Dinner. Plume and its employees, with the help of generous corporate sponsors and individuals, are seeking to raise €1,000,000 to continue #PlumeStrong’s mission to provide education and opportunity to communities in need. 

Recently, #PlumeStrong and Street Child committed to continue their partnership. This year, the focus shifts to Sierra Leone, a country where access to secondary education in rural areas remains a critical need. The funds raised during the #PSCC24 will benefit Street Child’s work in Sierra Leone. The collaboration will focus on developing 15 rural secondary schools, providing quality education to over 1,500 children annually, teacher training, and the establishment of a community agriculture project to help sustain the school.

#PSCC24 will be held from September 2-6, 2024. Riders will begin in Zurich, Switzerland and finish in Venice, Italy, covering a distance of 824 km and traversing famous mountain passes through the Alps and the Dolomites. 

Returning #PlumeStrong Ambassador, three-time Tour de France champion, and recent winner of the Giro d’Italia, Tadej Pogačar, will join the ride for the first leg. Additional #PlumeStrong Ambassadors joining the ride include cyclists Urška Žigart, Scott Ogden and Marko Baloh.

The 2023 #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge (#PSCC23) raised over €550,000 and was used to provide much-needed educational support for children affected by the TurkeySyria earthquakes. Through the support of our riders, partners, and all of our generous donors, #PlumeStrong is building a school in one of the most impacted regions in the area. 

Following the ride, #PlumeStrong will host its first-ever Gala Philanthropic Dinner in California on October 19, 2024. The Gala will raise funds to support the work of our U.S.-based partner, the Ron Brown Scholar Program, for the creation of the Ron Brown Venture Lab (RBVL). It is an innovative initiative designed to provide the essential resources that Ron Brown Scholars, Captains, and Alumni need to launch and grow their entrepreneurial ventures. The event will include both a silent and a live auction.

The Ron Brown Venture Lab will create a robust support network to address the significant challenges Black founders often face in securing the resources needed to bring their business ideas to life. By providing social, human, and financial capital, RBVL supports developing and scaling ventures within the community. The initiative aims to ignite a new generation of socially-minded innovators to drive transformative change in their communities and beyond.

“What started as an internal program has grown beyond even our own expectations. We started #PlumeStrong to assist our employees and support one another at a time when people felt isolated and alone. Now, we have extended #PlumeStrong’s reach all over the world and have created a program that actively provides resources for education and community building. Our employees, business partners, and sponsors have played a vital role in this endeavor, and we are so grateful for their continued support. Our extraordinary #PlumeAmbassadors, including cycling star Tadej Pogačar, have helped to spread the word about the #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge and the aims of our global mission. #PlumeStrong has gone from strength to strength, and I am so proud of this team.”  – Fahri Diner, Founder and CEO, Plume.

Cipia unveils ADAS capabilities for Cipia-FS10, redefining its fleet safety offering with a 360° Road and Driver Monitoring Solution

Published

on

By

Cipia-FS10, Cipia’s proven driver fatigue and distraction detection (DMS) now incorporates Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to deliver enhanced fleet safety and operational efficiency

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cipia (TASE: CPIA), a global leader in AI-powered driver fatigue and distraction detection solutions (DMS), has introduced new Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) capabilities to Cipia-FS10, its safety-focused video telematics solution for fleets. This enhancement builds on Cipia-FS10’s proven driver distraction and fatigue detection technology, creating a comprehensive solution that delivers unparalleled insights into driver behavior and on-road hazards.

With this new offering, Cipia-FS10 expands its proven DMS capabilities to include Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features powered by a road-facing camera. These include forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and tailgating detection, providing fleets with a 360° safety solution. By seamlessly monitoring both the driver and the road, Cipia-FS10 delivers real-time, actionable insights to mitigate risks, prevent accidents, and improve driver performance. This comprehensive approach not only enhances safety but also helps fleets reduce operational costs associated with accidents, vehicle downtime, and insurance premiums.

Cipia-FS10 builds on Cipia’s legacy of automotive-grade AI technology, trusted by 11 leading automakers across the United States, Europe, and China. Unlike traditional aftermarket solutions, Cipia-FS10 combines cutting-edge DMS capabilities, such as – driver fatigue and distraction detection, phone use, smoking, seatbelt violations and driver recognition – with ADAS features powered by a road-facing camera. This dual-camera system delivers a comprehensive safety view, uncovering the root causes of accidents and enabling fleets to implement proactive measures to reduce risks.

“The synergy between Driver and Road Monitoring Systems is key for fleet safety,” said Dudy Markus, VP of Aftermarket LOB at Cipia. “By combining AI-powered interior and exterior sensing, we are delivering a solution that not only protects drivers in real time, but also equips fleet managers with the tools to achieve long-term safety improvements.”

Fleet safety has never been more critical. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving claims 3,500 lives annually in the U.S., while the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) attributes 71% of tractor-trailer accidents to driver distraction. Furthermore, FMCSA research reveals that 87% of large truck crashes stem from human error, highlighting the urgent need for innovative safety solutions.

Beyond the devastating human toll, fleet accidents impose substantial financial burdens on employers, including costs for vehicle repairs, medical treatments, liability claims, and lost productivity. These sobering realities underscore the urgent need for advanced safety systems like Cipia-FS10, which empowers fleets with real-time monitoring and alerts to proactively reduce risks and promote safer driving behaviors.

Cipia-FS10 tackles this challenge by delivering real-time alerts to drivers, such as fatigue detection and collision warnings, while equipping fleet managers with detailed analytics to reduce incidents and improve driver training programs. By addressing both the driver’s condition and road dynamics, Cipia-FS10 targets human error – the leading cause of road accidents.

As an aftermarket solution, Cipia-FS10 is designed for quick and seamless installation in existing commercial vehicles. This ensures fleets can enhance safety and operational efficiency without the need for costly vehicle upgrades. The device’s AI-driven data insights enable fleet managers to optimize operations, reduce liability costs, and improve compliance with safety regulations.

For more information about Cipia-FS10 and how it can elevate your fleet with advanced driver fatigue, distraction monitoring and ADAS, visit us at www.FS10.cipia.com or contact us at: info@fs10.cipia.com .
