ADASTEC Corp., a software company specializing in SAE Level-4 automated driving software solutions for public transit buses and commercial vehicles, announced a strategic alliance with Beep Inc.
The partnership combines ADASTEC’s technology expertise with Beep’s deployment capabilities to scale automated public transportation across more use cases and regions. Initial deployments in Georgia and Florida will set a new benchmark for the industry.
Driving Scalable AV Deployments
Through the alliance, ADASTEC’s SAE Level-4 automated driving software platform, flowride.ai, and its global OEM partnerships will be integrated with Beep’s expertise in planning, launching, and managing autonomous mobility networks.
Together, the companies provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for municipalities, transit agencies, campuses, airports, and private communities, fully compliant with Build America, Buy America requirements and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
“Beep’s proven track record in operating shared autonomous networks makes them an ideal partner to bring ADASTEC’s technology to scalable deployment across more routes and regions,” said Dr. Ali Peker, CEO of ADASTEC. “Together, we are enabling scalable deployments of factory-fitted automated buses, combining our advanced automated driving technology with Beep’s deployment expertise to deliver public transportation that is safer, more efficient, and truly accessible."
Beep’s AutonomOS supervision and management platform complements ADASTEC’s automated driving technology by providing fleet orchestration, vehicle and cabin monitoring, and integrated operations support, critical tools for ensuring safe and reliable service at scale.
“Partnering with ADASTEC allows us to extend our autonomous mobility solutions to higher capacity, production-grade vehicles,” said Kevin Reid, CEO of Beep. “This is about helping more people connect to jobs, healthcare, education, and each other more quickly and more safely than ever before, all while using state-of-the-art technology that is made in America.”
Driving Growth
ADASTEC’s flowride.ai, together with its advanced sensor suite, including LiDAR, radar, RGB cameras, and high-precision GNSS, has been successfully deployed in more than a dozen countries worldwide, operating across diverse geographies, climates, and road conditions. These deployments demonstrate the maturity and reliability of ADASTEC’s technology, enabling buses and commercial vehicles to operate safely and consistently in mixed traffic and under challenging weather conditions.
The platform enables buses, factory-fitted with ADASTEC’s technology, to operate at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour without the need for on-board human intervention.
Beep’s AutonomOS platform is AV-agnostic and ensures that advanced automation translates into safe and reliable everyday mobility for passengers.
Together, ADASTEC and Beep are moving beyond automation by delivering solutions that are scalable, sustainable, accessible, and fully operational.
