The most risky behavior reported in 2019 were cellphone/device distractions, the consumption of food or beverages while driving, drivers not using seat belts, smoking, and moments of late response.
Fleet video telematics provider Lytx shared new insights about changes in driving risk tied to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated guidelines to help control the spread of the virus.
Lytx kicked-off its annual User Group Conference by unveiling a next-generation technology designed to address distracted driving: enhanced machine vision and artificial intelligence-powered risk detection.
Lytx and Geotab are partnering to provide a single interface experience for users of the two products, for a streamlined solution to improve safety, productivity, and efficiency.
When you add artificial intelligence and machine learning to the video telematics equation, the answer to whether video telematics can get "smarter" is “yes.”
Drowsy driving, late response times, and falling asleep at the wheel all decreased in the trucking sector between November 2018 and August 2019, according to data from Lytx presented at the American Trucking Associations' conference.
A focus on protecting drivers is also good for business. Utilize a telematics program to track and promote safe practices.
Some 20% of recorded collisions and 12% of recorded near-collisions in commercial fleets occur at speeds below 5 mph, according to new research from Lytx.
Commercial fleets that used the Lytx Driver Safety Program reduced drowsy driving events by 39% and falling asleep behind the wheel by 66% from June 2018 to June 2019, according to new data released by the video telematics solutions provider.
Lytx has begun offering a hardware health monitor that will help fleet managers identify devices that aren't working properly.
