What Events Trigger AI Dash Cams To Record?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) estimates that 87% of all traffic accidents are preventable. AI and predictive analysis provide fleet managers with better insights into events on the road and how their drivers respond to them.
When fleet managers use these data sets to understand why and how accidents occur, they can better enhance – and enforce – safety protocols and compliance.
Dashcams vs. Multi-Channel Cameras: What’s Best for Your Fleet?
Running a fleet can be a challenge, whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned pro. One thing all fleet managers can agree on is the need for technology that makes their lives easier, while keeping drivers and their cargo safe.
The Evolution Of Dash Cam Technology: Video Footage vs. Live Streaming
Dash cams are extremely effective safety tools for commercial fleets. Generally, fleets install dash cams because they’re looking for better visibility into driving behaviour on the road. The footage generated from dash cams can be used for driver coaching, accident avoidance and, in worst case scenarios, evidence for exoneration. Most dash cams can either […]

A fleet safety program designed specifically for your company can help establish procedures and […]
How Telematics And Gamification Can Lead To A Stronger Fleet
Not too long ago, mega-retailer Amazon came under fire yet again, this time for using AI-powered cameras to keep watch over their drivers while on the job. While the cameras in and of themselves aren’t problematic, the number of false positives due to inflexible algorithms have led to nothing short of an employee revolt. In […]
Beginning of a New Era: Safe Driving Tools – Built with AI in Mind
The future of safe driving and driver protection is artificial intelligence (AI). AI opens up a wide range of new opportunities for telematics solution providers to enhance and perfect their solution package to deliver the ultimate safety net while protecting drivers from road hazards. Through simulating human intelligence in computers and machines, AI has the […]
Using Technology To Maintain Social Distancing in Fleets
