USING TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORM DRIVER SAFETY

INNOVATION

This effective, objective, and proven method of in-cab alerts and video capture is making our fleet and driver safety a priority.

We are delighted to announce that we have successfully completed the implementation of a new artificial intelligence (AI) telematics system across our 1,000-strong fleet of vehicles. This is part of a wider focus on developing new technologies and enhancing training processes with the aim of improving safety for our drivers and other road users. With the use of AI cameras, the new system can automatically detect incidents inside and outside the vehicle’s cab. If one of the AI cameras ‘sees’ something it recognises as an incident or a potentially dangerous driver behaviour, it will immediately sound an alert and record a 7-10 second clip so the camera footage can be reviewed.

The purpose of this new system is to:

„ Improve safety and reduce incidents and near misses „ Protect drivers from inaccurate and false allegations and claims „ Produce environmental and cost benefits through improved driving behaviour
