New Advanced Collision Detection Technology
Introduced to assist fleets further enhances driver safety
TORONTO, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Customers utilizing Geotab's
Safety Center launched in February
2024, have seen a 5.5% reduction in collision rates, in just
4 months. Continuing to build on this success, Geotab Inc. is
introducing new collision detection technology further leveraging
AI and advanced data intelligence, to enhance predictive
insights.
Leveraging Geotab's extensive experience with AI models, and
aggregate data from 4.3M connected
vehicles globally, the company is training its machine learning
models with new collision detection technology to deliver even more
sophisticated collision detection and predictive analytics. All of
this is equipping fleets with better data insights to detect and
reduce collisions.
The new collision detection technology accurately detects and
categorizes collisions, distinguishing between minor (1.5-2.5 Gs)
and major incidents (2.5 Gs and above). Minor collisions often go
unnoticed, and the new technology enables fleet managers to perform
maintenance, address potential issues that could impact road
safety, and avoid downstream consequences. Collisions, whether
major or minor impact driver safety, vehicle performance and
maintenance costs. Accurate and near real time collision detection
enables quick responses, it helps expedite the claims process, and
helps identify the causes of incidents for preventative measures
like driver training and route adjustments.
"Geotab's Safety Center shifts the focus from reacting to
incidents to proactively preventing them," said Sabina Martin, Vice President, Product
Management at Geotab. "While safety scorecards have demonstrated
improved driver scores, the relationship to collision reduction was
unclear, a real world challenge that our customers have asked us to
solve for. The combined near real time and predictive insights
provides improved learning from historical incidents, risk
identification and better opportunities for preventative action.
These innovative advancements in the Safety Center will ultimately
help improve driver safety, and performance outcomes."
