Launched last year, this driver-facing camera uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and mitigate distractions to help improve fleet safety.
From 28 October, heavy goods vehicles (HGV) over 12 tonnes rated below a three-star Direct Vision Standard (DVS) rating will be required to fit a system of updated safety features - the Progressive Safe System (PSS) - to continue operating in Greater London. While the ClearVision AI Distraction Camera does not form part of the DVS requirements, it is part of a wider safety drive on offer to responsible operators.
Utilising computer vision technology, the camera enables near real-time monitoring of driver behaviour. The camera can detect various forms of distraction – including mobile phone usage, eating, drinking, and smoking – and provide feedback to drivers, helping them understand the risks associated with their behaviour.
During the trial period, companies can experience the benefits of real-time monitoring of driver behaviour, feedback and alerts, video evidence of incidents and targeted coaching and training for drivers as needed. The camera has already shown results, with one company reporting an 80% reduction in mobile phone distraction and a 43% reduction in overall risk after three months of use.
In addition, the Clearvision AI Distraction Camera and wider camera solution is claimed to help reduce insurance premiums, improve fuel efficiency and enhance compliance with regulatory requirements.
Nadeem Raza, CEO at Microlise Group, said: “Since we launched this product 12 months ago, we’ve received positive feedback from businesses highlighting the benefits the AI Distraction Camera has had.
“Driver distraction is a serious issue that requires proactive measures, and our cameras offer a proactive and effective solution. This technology represents a major advancement in fleet safety, allowing companies to extend their health and safety culture out to road users. It truly demonstrates our commitment to creating safer roads and saving lives.”
