Ensuring drivers are properly trained and follow best practices while on the road is essential for safety and success. One way to achieve this goal is to know how to use video telematics to improve driver safety.
Video telematics technologies use high-resolution video surveillance equipment, sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze driver behavior. The cameras and recording capabilities allow fleet managers to review incidents that the AI logs. The AI can also identify real-time issues and alert the driver for immediate correction.
Vehicles ranging from school buses to delivery trucks can benefit from this technology. Learn more about how to improve driver safety and training with video telematics technologies from Rand McNally.
