For insurers who specialise in fleet cover, this advanced telematics tech is worth checking out. Distracted driving, especially smartphone interactions, are one of the primary reasons for collisions in urban areas. Spotting driver fatigue is also another key benefit. Here’s the word;
As part of the largest vehicle technology investment in Reflex’s history, vehicles are equipped with an artificial intelligence-powered in-cab camera system that automatically identifies driving risks in real-time and generates alerts for managers. Among the wealth of scenarios covered is hand-held mobile phone use, driver distraction, fatigue, whether the driver is wearing a seatbelt, and smoking (which has been prohibited in company vehicles since 2007).
The Flexicampro system also provides telematics data to identify other motoring risks, including speeding, and harsh acceleration or braking. Reflex revealed earlier this year that live-fleet trials achieved 100% compliance with seatbelt laws for a national fleet. Now, new data has revealed a wealth of additional benefits.
Analysis shows the latest successes achieved by fleets one year after deployment of Flexicampro include:
- 92% decline in hand-held mobile phone use
- 81% fall in speeding incidents
- 61% reduction in driver distraction
- 50% fall in driving while tired
- 78% drop in smoking
Overall, fleets report a 54% year-on-year fall in risk-related activity compared to benchmarks set ahead of Flexicampro’s deployment, as managers turn data into direct action to support and educate drivers about road safety. Flexicampro is part of the Drive with Reflex suite of risk management services that are helping to transform safety for fleets. The investment in the latest technology means that fleet managers gain access to the highest levels of safety equipment on rental vehicles, not just on their owned fleet.
Lisa Spong, Sales Director at Reflex Vehicle Hire, said: “Fleets face a wealth of hidden dangers once vehicles are out on the road, so our technology is proving essential to minimising the risks facing drivers and other road users. By alerting fleets in real-time to dangers, fleet managers can keep risks under control while using insights to engage drivers through training programmes, keeping employees safe from harm. As the police increasingly deploy AI technology to monitor driving behaviour, fleets also need to embrace this powerful technology.”
