About

Silent Glide is an AI driven battery electric ferry system that is designed to operate in inland and in-shore environments. While there are other battery electric ferry products, our system has been developed to operate in unison with the our AI driven operating system.

Our AI driven operating system is integral to the performance and operation of the ferries in a fleet. Our AI proactively anticipates future passenger demand by analysing diverse data sources, including historical trends, real-time information, and emerging patterns. Through advanced machine learning models like time series analysis and neural networks, the system optimises ferry schedules and resource allocation to reduce wait times and prevent overcrowding. In addtion our platform is designed for dynamic optimisation, meaning it can adapt to changing conditions in real-time.  If there's an unexpected surge in demand, a traffic disruption, or a mechanical issue, the system automatically adjusts ferry routes, dispatches additional vessels, and communicates updates to passengers. This ensures a seamless and responsive service, even in the face of unforeseen circumstances.  The AI also optimises charging schedules based on ferry availability, minimising operational costs and maximising the lifespan of the batteries.
