Knights of Old went for the Verilocation fleet management and live camera system. This delivers vehicle performance data streamed direct to its online Verilocation tracking account for immediate analysis when dealing with FNOL (first notification of loss) incidents.
Knights of Old group logistics director Kelvin Gingell explains that the Witness cameras record all events in front of the vehicle while GPS data is transmitted covering vehicle speed, impact force and braking to enable immediate arbitration based on facts rather than third-party accounts.
"This is a major step forward and likely to become an invaluable tool for improving vehicle management, reducing accident frequency and keeping insurance premiums to a minimum," states Gingell.
He also expects the cameras to provide on-going information for assisting with one-to-one driver training.
"There's nothing better than learning from real life examples and, with this system, we have the opportunity to review driver techniques and experiences, so that drivers can review their own performance," says Gingell.
And he adds: "Dynamic fleet control of this type comes with undoubted commercial and operational benefits. However, while we are expecting to cut costs and improve fleet efficiency, the new in-cab camera system will, most importantly, ensure an even higher level of vehicle and driver safety."
