Brand Engagement Network (NASDAQ:BNAI)
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Accelevate Solutions and Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (“BEN”) (Nasdaq: BNAI) today announced the launch of a live AI-powered passenger engagement platform for off-airport parking and shuttle services at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The platform introduces a real-time media and engagement layer that connects riders, operators, and brands.
Passengers can view routes, live vehicle locations, and estimated arrival times directly in the mobile experience. The BEN AI engagement layer is now live, with promotional and static advertising available immediately. Live paid advertising is expected to begin in Q4 2026.
The platform combines Accelevate Solutions’ MobilityConnect™ fleet and audience-intelligence capabilities with BEN’s AI engagement technology, delivered through the Mydas enterprise media platform. Connected-vehicle data, including data from Xirgo Technologies, powers the vehicle layer. Together, the solution enables transportation and transit operators to convert existing connected assets into a real-time engagement channel and, once advertising inventory is sold, a new revenue stream.
LIVE VEHICLE INTELLIGENCE • PASSENGER ENGAGEMENT • CONTEXTUAL MEDIA • MEASURABLE DELIVERY
For passengers, the experience delivers route visibility, real-time vehicle context, and AI-enabled engagement through a mobile client – no app download required and no added friction. Riders stay informed and engaged throughout their journey.
For operators, MobilityConnect adds a digital engagement layer to existing transportation services without replacing core fleet systems.
For brands, it creates a measurable channel grounded in real-world mobility context rather than disconnected digital impressions, helping deepen passenger engagement while supporting brand trust, loyalty, and repeat business.
“We believe this is a transformational moment for transit operators,” said James Maury, President and Co-Founder of Accelevate Solutions. “With AI-powered rider and location intelligence, operators can turn assets already in motion into real-time engagement and media channels – improving the passenger experience while opening new revenue opportunities. Combining our fleet and rider intelligence, real-time mobile engagement client, and our partner’s automated cloud media stack will enable rapid adoption through Q1 2027.
MobilityConnect gives passengers live vehicle locations and estimated arrival times while providing operators with a new engagement channel on assets already in service. Paid campaigns are not yet live; the media layer is currently enabled with static loyalty promotions, and new advertising inventory can be sold from this point forward.”
“Our partnership with Accelevate reflects our continued execution to scale our joint AI capabilities,” said Tyler Luck, Chief Executive Officer of Brand Engagement Network. “BEN remains fully committed to supporting Accelevate’s airport expansion across the United States and into public-sector opportunities in Latin America.”
