Today’s fleet managers need a technology solution that can connect all the dots and provide them with complete visibility – from understanding what’s happening both in-cab and on the road, to being able to empower drivers with the tools to make good decisions.
One of the ways this connected approach is being realised is through next-generation video telematics, powered by machine vision and artificial intelligence (MV+AI). Combined, these technologies offer visibility into risky driving habits that traditional telematics can’t.
Machine vision acts as a smart set of eyes that scans and recognises both the internal and external environment of the vehicle. Whether mobile phone use or some other sort of distraction, MV identifies a range of driving behaviours while AI determines how risky that behaviour is, notifying the driver via an audible alert that allows them to self-correct in-the-moment – with the most important information flagged to the manager for further coaching.
This technology is different from traditional solutions because it’s proactive, not reactive. The technology lessens the need to manage or report on G-force events, such as harsh braking, because behaviours and external conditions are understood before any incident occurs. This is all helping to reduce risk, improve driver safety, reduce incidents and bring down insurance claims.
Finally, this technology is also providing managers with the ability to offer increased support if drivers find themselves in situations beyond their control. For example, if they encounter a flooded road that means they cannot progress on that chosen route, the driver has the option to alert their manager who can tap into a live feed to see what they see – evaluating the situation and collaborating with the driver to create a solution.
