Travel COVID Safe™ Accreditation Group Launches The Most Rigorous Three-Point Inspection Health Certification For The Travel And Tourism Industry

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Travel COVID Safe™ (TCS) is a new three-point accreditation specifically created to rebuild consumer confidence in travel and reactivate the hospitality industry. By providing a uniform set of health and hygiene based protocols, TCS is part of an advocacy…

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Travel COVID Safe™ (TCS) is a new three-point accreditation specifically created to rebuild consumer confidence in travel and reactivate the hospitality industry. By providing a uniform set of health and hygiene based protocols, TCS is part of an advocacy accreditation consortium that addresses the lack of standards for COVID-19 safeness in the hospitality and tourism industry. TCS helps the travel industry win back the confidence of the US traveler by introducing stringent and rigorous health and hygiene standards based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization(WHO) guidelines that set the minimum requirement for traveler safety.

TCS accreditation is the only certification process that has three points of inspection by three distinct individuals. It is the only accreditation that incorporates a coaching process to help the organization get accredited. It is the only certification process that offers ongoing continuous support by alerting the accredited organization of standard changes that could affect operations. TCS is the gold standard for COVID travel safeness. The three points/audits include:

  • WorkSuite™ Audit: Upon starting the accreditation process, TCS provides a virtual WorkSuite™ in which the organization works with an assigned coach. The coach will assist the organization by verifying the protocols submitted are compliant while also serving as a guide to the best practices from other accredited organizations. The coach serves as an ongoing auditor during the protocol documentation and procedure creation stage.
  • Master Examiner Audit: After the work is finalized in the WorkSuite™ and validated by the coach, the protocols and procedures get sent to a master examiner that will independently evaluate them for compliance. If there are gaps, they get sent back to the WorkSuite™ for the coach and the organization to address. Otherwise, it continues to the Site Inspection stage.
  • Site Inspection Audit: Following the completion of the WorkSuite™ and the Master Examiner audit, the organization should be ready for a live site inspection. Before the on-site inspection, their coach will make contact to prepare them for the final live inspection of the property/venue/location/operation.

To date, there have not been any rigorous standard certifications or accreditation’s developed for COVID-19’s safety, specifically for the tourism industry. Several countries and hotel chains have developed their propitiatory certifications, but the public perceives them as inherently biased as they made to entice tourists back. These propitiatory certifications also lack the uniformity that travelers seek (tourists do not want to learn about every country’s or hotel chain’s specific safety standards). From a global perspective, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has introduced the global Travel Safe protocols and stamp, a great beginning in establishing essential yet basic global uniformity in the industry. But the WTTC’s, as most of the independent country’s protocols, have no validation in place and are based on an honor system of self-assessment. The need for audits, on-site inspections, and a means of consumer feedback is fundamental in regaining the consumer’s confidence.

What sets TCS apart is that it is the first accreditation for the Travel and Tourism industry that:

  • Designed for US traveler and for the markets looking to attract them
  • Based on CDC and WHO health standards
  • Provides ongoing guidance with changing regulations and guidelines that impact operations and thus allowing them to refocus on their services
  • Contains three separate independent pre-accreditation audits and ongoing consumer reporting
  • Rigorous yet facilitated accreditation that provides applicant organization an accreditation coach and access to the industry’s best practices

«We are excited to provide a solution that will win back the traveler’s confidence while minimizing COVID-related health risks. All of this is ultimately acting as a catalyst to help reactivate the tourism industry. The only way to start regaining the American traveler’s confidence in travel is by having a unified set of rigorous health standards that are uniform, relatable, and trusted, making travel safer yet still enjoyable. Travel COVID Safe does this precisely! It addresses these concerns with the highest accreditation level while still granting autonomy and evaluating organizations based on globally accepted CDC guidelines. TCS has been developed by Americans for the American traveler and organizations trying to cater to them,» says Terry Suero, Executive Director of Business Development.

Travel COVID Safe™ seeks to rebuild confidence by being the most stringent, reliable, and up-to-date seal of COVID safety for anyone looking to travel. The program also acknowledges the impact the pandemic has had on the travel and tourism workforce and thus aims to create local in-country employment by integrating them into the inspection process. The accreditation is for 3-years and the processing time can take anywhere from 3 – 4 weeks, depending on the line of business and how advanced the organization is with COVID safety standards. The cost of a 3-year accreditation is contingent on the nature of the organization and usually ranges between $1,500 to $7,500. For those organizations that do not want to get accredited but want access to the industry best practices, it is possible with the $19 per month Consortia Membership. The system in place is set across the board to assist all forms of the hospitality and tourism industry, which include but not limited to: hotels, small lodging, short term rentals, tour operators, car rentals, restaurants, and more.

ABOUT TRAVEL COVID SAFE:
Travel COVID Safe™ was created by an alliance of both Health and Travel professionals, among them Tim Case, Eric Sheets and Terry Suero, in the summer of 2020 to address the need for a unified set of safety guidelines addressing the fear of travel safety in the hospitality and tourism industry. Travel COVID Safe™ is an audited three-point accreditation system that is healthcare-based and is designed exclusively to tackle the fears of the American traveler market. The system’s platform operates online to allow worldwide access and facilitate knowledge sharing within the different industry segments. This accreditation is the highest certification in the Travel and Tourism industry and includes multiple audits components during the development of the individualized procedures. Accredited organizations are seeking to have the highest levels of COVID safety accreditation and to attract American clientele.

The Seeing Machines FOVIO Chip (delivered in partnership with Xilinx) remains the highest performing, lowest cost market solution for standalone DMS vehicle integration and now represents nearly one-third of Seeing Machines booked business, and is projected to grow to approximately one half in response to Euro NCAP requirements. 

OEMs today are faced with a maze of electronics, software and sensor integration options for interior monitoring systems. Coupled with market dynamics such as regulation and Euro NCAP requirements for safety (which are now driving rapid adoption and mass market penetration), the Embedded Product Strategy has been designed to support a very wide range of common integration, cost, and safety performance challenges, with the flexibility to support the unexpected.

The first pillar of the Seeing Machines strategy remains the FOVIO Chip. However, the performance of the device is newly enhanced with the introduction of Seeing Machines’ OcculaTM Neural Processing Unit («OcculaTM«):

  • OcculaTM is a custom processing design that accelerates Seeing Machines’ unique algorithmic approach to the problem of human detection and tracking, placing the Company’s technology at the «deep edge»
  • OcculaTM delivers a breakthrough in silicon utilization when executing Seeing Machines’ highly mature driver monitoring algorithms, reducing the computational load of the FOVIO chip by over 50% while delivering the same functionality and signal performance
  • OcculaTM adds general-purpose acceleration capabilities required for future AI-based computer vision needs. Seeing Machines’ customers will also be delighted to know that, since the FOVIO Chip utilizes FPGA technology, OcculaTM is a fully field upgradable offering
  • OcculaTM makes way for new driver and interior monitoring features on existing FOVIO chips, further extending Seeing Machines’ feature, performance, and cost leadership.

The second pillar of the embedded product strategy offers a low-friction integration pathway for the Company’s driver and interior monitoring technology into any vehicle integration point, including smart-mirrors, instrument clusters, infotainment ECUs or centralized ADAS processing systems:

  • This pathway is efficiently enabled via the introduction of Seeing Machines’ embedded Driver Monitoring Engine (e-DME). The e-DME is the Company’s core driver monitoring algorithm stack supporting both accelerated and non-accelerated compute options, over a very wide range of popular automotive compute platforms
  • The e-DME includes versions which are deeply optimized and embedded for key automotive SoC platforms, leveraging the different state-of-the-art AI vision acceleration architectures in those devices.

As a third strategic pillar, OcculaTM is now available for license, in ASIC form, to world-leading semiconductor companies for integration with any automotive compute platform that would benefit from world leading, highly optimized, «deep edge» driver and/or interior monitoring. 

Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines commented: «It’s an exciting time in the Automotive industry and I’m delighted to be announcing our detailed technology strategy, which has been constructed to closely support OEMs as they design cars to meet mounting safety standards and deliver convenience features for their customers.

«Seeing Machines has been leading this market for many years now and our three pillar approach is no accident.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A New and Ideal Way to Sell A Car, Especially During the Pandemic

MY CAR AUCTION (MCA), a new company to the used car market, has developed a new system to sell a used car during the pandemic. Not only is it quick and convenient, but it is the safest way to expose one’s car to the broadest audience of buyers in order to maximize the price

MCA’s system eliminates the hassle of dozens of dealer calls or calls from strangers that buyers typically receive when selling their car via other sites or methods, and it is fast – typically a seller receives payment in 4-5 business days from listing his or her car. The system is so convenient that it is ideal for any situation – pandemic or not!

This is how MY CAR AUCTION’S system works:

  • The seller goes to the website or downloads the app and receives a value for his or her car in 90 seconds.
  • MCA has partnered with the largest car auction platform in the US whose pricing system uses a real-time algorithm, which determines the appraised value based on the eight million car sales totaling over $57 billion in car sale transactions per year.
  • If the seller likes the price, he or she signs up to have an inspection and a representative of the company goes to their home or place of business to conduct a 15-minute inspection of the car. The inspector will look at the mechanical aspects of the car, the overall condition of the car, including the paint, interior, and frame.

The seller’s car is then immediately uploaded to the auction platform for real-time bidding 24/7 and at specific date and time-based auctions, which occur twice a week, Wednesday and Thursdays. The platform exposes the car to an audience of more than 50,000 buyers.

  • When the seller’s car sells, MCA will call to schedule a time to pick up the car and delivers full payment to the seller. A major differentiator from any other way a car is sold is if the car sells for more than the assigned value, the profit is split between the seller and MCA.
  • If the seller changes his or her mind and does not want to sell their car, they can cancel at no obligation. The platform is 100% risk free to the seller.
