New business promises solution to rising fleet insurance costs05 December 2013

A new company has been launched to provide commercial fleet operators with combined tracking and camera technology to help protect against 'crash for cash' and other bogus accident claims – as well as to improve driver behaviour.

Intelligent Telematics says it will devise tailored solutions for operators, using the latest technology. It will also offer a consultancy service to identify areas of risk and provide insurance analysis, helping to combat rising premiums.

Driving incidents and exceptions can be recorded and communicated using a forward-facing camera fitted in the vehicle and integrated with a vehicle tracking system.

The camera provides continuous recording from ignition, with a wide-angle pillar to pillar view, and is combined with three-axis g-force measurement and location and speed data capture.

"We are bringing together a global team of industry experts from the telematics, camera and insurance industries," says Sam Footer, head of international business and strategic development.

"Vehicle operators will now be able to achieve significant benefits by reducing and simplifying the claims experience, better managing high-risk driver behaviour, and improving fleet safety and efficiency."
