Safety is paramount for the modern fleet.
On average, 20% of commercial fleets will be involved in an accident this year due to the high number of miles they drive, according to OSHA data.
A typical motorist in the U.S. travels 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually, and each year has a 1-in-15 chance of being involved in a vehicle collision. However, most fleet drivers travel substantially more miles, resulting in even greater exposure to crash risks.
To proactively manage these risks, a growing number of commercial fleet operators and transportation logistics managers have embraced driver safety systems or dash cameras that provide a range of valuable insights into their fleet – from actionable video intelligence to vehicle risk management services that deliver detailed information about crash events in near real time.
Integrated telematics systems enable fleet managers and field service providers to have faster response times when crashes occur, and greater visibility into driver behavior and vehicle maintenance data. These data-driven, actionable insights offer a comprehensive view of vehicles and drivers throughout their routes, helping fleet operators protect drivers, fleets and their bottom line.
Video telematics mean safer fleets
One of the best ways to ensure road and driver safety is to utilize video telematics.
A standard stream-and-store dashcam can show, after the fact, what happened during an incident, assuming a manager has time to search through the DVR footage and match it with telematics data to find the few seconds that matter.
