Thomas, director of marketing and customer solutions for the control group at Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou\u2019re going to see the camera technology improve. You\u2019re going to see better images. You\u2019re going to see faster processing. All those things are going to rise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This will happen through several technologies working together to create more information and improve fleet operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen those next technologies do come out, they get translated into our industry a little quicker than before because the ROI is already proven,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nussbaum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nussbaum Transportation<\/a> has been pilot testing computer vision, which is one of the next big things in fleet camera technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou can start measuring habits with that beyond just the camera triggering and somebody reviewing it,\u201d said Jeremy Stickling, the chief administrative officer for Nussbaum. \u201cThe camera\u2019s telling you what\u2019s going on \u2014 this person came into our lane, and we reacted slowly, or we reacted right. It can catch good stuff too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThat\u2019s probably where I get more excited \u2014 because sometimes when you make a truck movement, it\u2019s for a good reason. It\u2019s skilled driving,\u201d he added. \u201cWhen you start adding computer vision to capture that stuff, we can start using it for positive feedback to not just point out you followed too close here, but this person came over in front of you, you did all these right things, and you reacted very well. This deserves a thumbs up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But computer vision is still a work in progress, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartdrive.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SmartDrive<\/a> CEO Steve Mitgang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI think the secret is going to come out that these things are partially great,\u201d he said. \u201cWe see working with technology companies, that 10 to 20% of the time, they\u2019re wrong. I can show any fleet today a collection of videos where pedestrian detection is going off \u2014 and there\u2019s no pedestrian. I can show them dozens and dozens of videos with collision-mitigation systems literally bringing a vehicle to a stop \u2014 and there\u2019s no vehicle to the side or in front of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And until computer vision and other safety systems are perfected, it might not change the driver\u2019s behavior how a fleet manager hopes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe problem is that if you\u2019re alerting the driver and the driver knows that something is wrong, then the driver stops paying attention,\u201d Mitgang pointed out. \u201cThat\u2019s the dirty secret that\u2019s going to start coming out.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1603826754842-173\" class=\"ad-container ad-container--max-width-300 ad-container--float-right\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-informa-gam-location=\"article\" data-informa-gam-position=\"inarticle2\" data-informa-gam-context=\"{&quot;contentId&quot;:21120774}\" data-informa-gam-key=\"article_300_2_rht_infinite\" data-gam-path=\"\/21687441225\/fleet.home\/article\/technology\" data-gam-size=\"[[300,250],[300,600]]\" data-gam-size-mapping=\"[{&quot;viewport&quot;:[0,0],&quot;size&quot;:[[300,250]]},{&quot;viewport&quot;:[779,0],&quot;size&quot;:[[300,250],[300,600]]}]\" data-gam-targeting=\"{&quot;pos&quot;:&quot;300_2_rht&quot;,&quot;article_number&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;ptype&quot;:&quot;Article&quot;,&quot;nid&quot;:&quot;21120774&quot;,&quot;pterm&quot;:&quot;technology&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;josh_fisher&quot;}\" data-gam-collapse=\"true\" data-google-query-id=\"CPjp67_A1ewCFYTGGwodJvgHKw\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/21687441225\/fleet.home\/article\/technology_14__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>This is the second part of a five-part feature on how cameras and video are changing fleets and drivers as a new decade dawns.
