Today's dash cameras do more than just record what's in front of a vehicle. An advanced dual-facing AI dash cam can also monitor driver behavior such as drowsiness and distracted driving. But your fleet's drivers may express concern about the potential privacy invasion of the camera. They might assume the camera's always recording them or is only there to capture their worst behavior.
The conversation about adopting smart technology starts with how your drivers can benefit from an AI dash cam. Transparency is the best policy when talking about how dash cams prioritize the safety of the driver. Here are some of the reasons you can also share with drivers and your stakeholders when discussing the importance of having dual-facing in-cab cameras.
To answer this question, focus on how AI dash cam technology will benefit the fleet. The most obvious benefit would be greater visibility of activity outside the vehicle. Insurance companies prefer fleets with dual dash cams because the device helps in preventing fraud and minimizes liability in case of an accident. The recorded footage provides clear proof to settle claims quickly.
With the addition of clear recorded video, dual-facing cameras can improve how you coach your drivers on safety. The right fleet management software can identify both positive and negative driving behaviors. This balances the conversation of practicing safe driving behaviors.
Solid Proof for Insurance Claims
As mentioned earlier, a dual-facing AI dash cam will also capture the immediate vicinity of a vehicle. After an accident, you’ll immediately have clear video footage to exonerate your driver who exhibited good behavior. Both the outside and inside dash cams capture the other vehicle making the claim and what precautions your driver was taking at the time of the incident. In addition, if a driver is pulled over, fleet managers can access and share AI dash cam video quickly with the driver to exonerate them from a possible ticket. Any accusations are immediately disproven based on the recorded evidence.
If your driver is at fault, you can discuss options for mitigating the verdict with the lawyers and insurance brokers involved. You can also offer the driver constructive feedback on how to avoid the situation in the future.
Keep Your Drivers Safe on the Road
The dual-facing AI dash cam senses when a compliance violation is about to occur and translates the data into a nonaggressive in-cab audio alert. Your drivers will be informed if they've engaged in risky behavior such as distracted driving, speeding, or following another vehicle too closely. The alerts happen in real time, giving the driver a chance to correct the behavior and avoid an accident.
Fleet managers can also use the AI dash cam videos to train new hires before they hit the road. Giving clear examples of both positive and negative driving behaviors helps prepare new drivers before they get behind the wheel. The in-cab audio alerts and effective driver training provided through dual-facing dash cams set up your drivers for success in improving their safety on the road.
Reward Your Safest Drivers
Having a dual-facing AI dash cam system that captures positive driving behavior reassures your drivers that your company recognizes and appreciates their dedication to improving their skills. In addition, offering rewards and incentives such as a cash bonus, gift card, and public recognition (for example, in a company newsletter) results in long-term safety compliance. Practicing positive recognition also establishes a healthy work culture in which drivers know they’re recognized for their efforts and fleet managers can see that their drivers are improving.
Improve Your Company’s Safety Program
An AI-powered dual-facing camera gives fleet and safety managers better insight into their drivers' performance. Through the data collected, managers gain context into certain driving behaviors to personalize their coaching to the individual. This data can also be used to improve vehicle maintenance, which helps prevent roadside breakdowns and costly repairs. Having these insights creates a solid foundation for your company's safety program.
Every driver should know their in-cab cameras are there to improve their performance and protect them on the road. By showing drivers how dash cams act as their advocate, you can increase openness to this technology. Your managers can make data-informed decisions for your company, reward your best drivers, and offer constructive feedback for your staff's careers. Start exploring what dual-facing AI dash cam technology can do for your fleet today.
A dual-facing AI dash cam captures footage of the driver as well as the road outside the vehicle. Capturing both types of footage is crucial for disproving false claims of driver negligence and for training drivers in safe behavior.
AI dash cams don’t just capture footage — they analyze it. Based on this analysis, they can send drivers real-time alerts of risky behavior as well as positive reinforcement of good behavior. When fleet managers want to review driver performance, they can use AI to identify the most relevant video footage to watch, rather than searching through hours of footage manually.
AI cameras can recognize all types of driving behavior, good and bad. They can easily feed into a scoring system — such as Netradyne GreenZoneâ Scoring — to rate each driver’s performance and determine which drivers are most deserving of recognition and prizes.
