Applied Driving has partnered with AI video telematics and connected vehicle data leader Visiontrack to develop a video-enabled safe driving solution.
The two firms will combine automated risk reduction, 360-degree vision and cloud-based video analysis into one product, said to herald an industry first and with revolutionary benefits for fleet and driver safety.
Andy Phillips, global managing partner at Applied Driving, said the partnership could transform how fleets tackle driver and fleet risk reduction.
“By providing access to the latest technologies and integrations, we are helping companies to build a safe driving culture that prioritises the welfare of drivers and other road users. Working closely with VisionTrack, we can take advantage of the latest advances in AI video telematics and the benefits this provides,” he outlined.
Applied Driving’s Riskmapp online web-application will be integrated with VisionTrack’s IoT platform, Autonomise.ai. The solution will be able to utilise footage from around the vehicle, captured by forward-, driver-, side- and rear-facing cameras, including a growing range of AI devices.
Footage of collisions and near misses will be uploaded to Riskmapp, after being assessed and verified by VisionTrack’s AI-powered post-analysis tool, NARA. Both the fleet customer and Applied Driving will be able to review the videos, which will also be shared with the driver as part of Applied Driving’s Triggered Training functionality within its Companion+ solution. Video and supporting data will also be used where additional coaching and engagement is required, using real-life examples to encourage safer driving habits.
Richard Lane, global product director at VisionTrack, commented: “We are passionate about road safety and committed to working with likeminded organisations, such as Applied Driving, to continually push the boundaries of what is possible. By integrating our AI video telematics with Applied Driving’s innovative safe driving technologies and processes, we can develop advanced solutions that further mitigate the impact of road, driver and fleet risk.”
