In a push for higher adoption of advanced driver assistance systems, in-cab monitoring systems can serve as one of many tools in a fleet\u2019s safety arsenal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

leet adoption of in-cab safety technologies has been touted to help vindicate commercial truck drivers involved in crashes and help fleets keep their operational costs in line. And today, the technology is also being used to deter predatory litigation tactics and nuclear verdicts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From a regulatory standpoint, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has introduced a Tech-Celerate Now initiative<\/a> focused on the adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for commercial motor vehicles. ADAS categories include braking systems, steering systems, warning systems, and monitoring systems. Putting an emphasis on monitoring systems, these devices include driver- and road-facing cameras and camera-based mirror systems that fleets can use to monitor a driver\u2019s behavior and performance. Drivers, however, have historically cited concerns over privacy when the subject of in-cab cameras and other behavior-monitoring technologies have been broached.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology has and will continue to play an integral role in improving the human connections within our fleet,\u201d explained Hayden Cardiff, founder and co-CEO at Idelic. \u201cAs we integrate and effectively use these systems, we will better attract and retain drivers and create a culture where drivers feel like they are being watched after and not watched over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur technology is based on geofencing and integration through the ELD partners,\u201d Neil Fisher, Drivewyze vice president of sales and customer success, said. \u201cWhen a fleet logs in, they have zones already set up, and what they see is how many drivers they had that sped through those zones. They can also see a snapshot of incidents within a specific period. It allows them to see which drivers were speeding and act on it so they can start to coach those drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the technology is based on tracking speeding, Fisher said it could also detect high collision areas, high rollover locations, and parking areas, which could be hotspots for accidents. According to Fisher, the biggest benefit for fleets is communicating with their drivers directly in the cab.<\/p>\n

The technology also provides real-time parking notifications to help drivers find a safe place to park. Those real-time parking notifications are currently available in nine mid-west states, with expansion expected later on.<\/p>\n

Overall, when it comes to implementing in-cab safety technology, the key for fleets is addressing challenges in real-time. \u201cEvery fleet, especially larger fleets, has hotspots where their drivers are having problems\u2014maybe it\u2019s citations, maybe it\u2019s accidents,\u201d Fisher explained. \u201cBut what they are keying in on is being able to immediately communicate with the drivers in real-time as these incidents and hotspots pop up.\u201d<\/p>\n
