Solution for transport and logistics industry links vehicle and office
Teletrac Navman is launching a multi-camera offering for Australian trucks, which integrates with its recently released AI-powered software, TN360.
Designed specifically for transport and logistics operators, the high-definition multi-camera solution captures more than 10 days of rolling footage, available to view from the back-office without the need to physically get into the vehicle, Teletrac Navman explains.
The camera system also triggers real-time alerts for out of the ordinary road events, such as harsh braking or swerving via G-force sensors, boosting the ability to analyse road collisions, and recording the behaviour of other road users for insurance and legal claims.
“With the ability to have up to four cameras, in a combination of forward-facing, driver-facing, left and right-side cameras, it gives a comprehensive view of each vehicle, the company says.
“Fleet operators have the option to choose how many and what cameras to use, and how they are used.”
Teletrac Navman’s push for driving diversity
The camera solution integrates into Teletrac Navman’s TN360 AI-based system, alongside GPS tracking data, speed, and other vehicle and driver information “to give a deeper level of insight into what’s happening on the road”.
“Truck drivers are less likely to be of primary responsibility in fatal and serious collisions with other road users, but they do have to deal with the emotional trauma – the shock and guilt – as well as the legal and financial outcomes,” Teletrac Navman chief product officer Andrew Rossington says.
“This camera solution can assist drivers and operators to exonerate themselves in these collisions, by giving them an objective recording of the situation.
“Other uses for cameras include protecting the business against fraudulent insurance claims, exonerating drivers in allegations of their truck causing damage, assisting drivers on the road – especially in monitoring blind spots, and ensuring safety compliance.
“What’s special about our camera solution, is that it is integrated with the whole tracking system, giving a more complete picture of driver behaviour – for example the speed of a truck going into the incident. This is particularly useful for high-level driver training.”
