Urban monitoring with cameras already on the streets.
The Malha Bex is a network of mobile cameras — installed in real vehicles already circulating through Brazilian cities — that collects traffic data, road conditions, and urban monitoring information in real time.
It is not an autonomous mobility product. It is a Smart City solution that solves a concrete problem: how to monitor thousands of kilometers of roads without installing thousands of fixed cameras.
The market
Brazil leads smart city investments in Latin America. In Sao Paulo alone, the Muralha Paulista operates over 90,000 cameras across 300 municipalities, and SmartSampa adds 40,000 intelligent surveillance cameras. Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, and other state capitals are advancing similar initiatives.
These programs rely on fixed cameras — expensive to install, limited in coverage, hard to scale. The Malha Bex is the complementary layer: mobile cameras that cover roads where fixed ones cannot reach, with near-zero deployment cost.
How it works
Every vehicle with a Bex Cam — app or device — connects to the Malha Bex automatically. The driver drives normally. The system collects, aggregates, and anonymizes the data. The more vehicles in the network, the greater the coverage and the more value for each participant.
Who it serves
- Municipalities and traffic authorities — road monitoring, traffic counts, incident detection.
- Insurers — driving behavior data and road condition intelligence.
- Fleets and logistics operators — real-time route visibility.
- Highway concessionaires — continuous monitoring without fixed infrastructure.
The connection to autonomy
The data the Malha Bex generates for smart cities is the same data that feeds the Bex Dataset — the Brazilian traffic dataset that trains the Bex Pilot. The product that serves the Smart City market funds the construction of the data infrastructure for autonomous mobility.
