FleetUp helps companies see the impact of their coaching efforts on driver safety.

FleetUp continues to develop cutting-edge solutions to help prevent accidents, improve safety, and change risky driving behavior. The cost of a single accident on a commercial fleet can be immense. The direct and indirect costs of a vehicle accident can be millions of dollars according to the FMCSA.

Artificial Intelligent (AI) dashcams play an important role in helping companies gain greater visibility over their commercial fleet. They can record both the road and the driver, and alert managers of any risky or distracted driving behaviors.

However, current AI dashcams have a few major drawbacks. They typically record far more footage than any fleet manager can comb through; they do not provide trends or analysis of the risk factors, nor do they make it easy to coach their staff or show how coaching has improved their results. While alerting drivers of risky driving behaviors or dangers as they happen is very important, companies need help in changing driving behavior over time. That change comes with coaching.

FleetUp has taken a unique approach to address this issue. Not only does the FleetUp AI Dashcam automatically record various driving events, it also analyzes those events and categorizes them by risk level. It provides analysis for fleet managers so that they can see trends and risk factors through customizable graphs.
When a fleet manager reviews an important or high-risk video, they can send the footage along with feedback to the drivers, staff, or other appropriate stakeholders with a simple mouse click.
Managers can see the impact of their coaching efforts. Every time a driver or staff is coached, FleetUp records that action so that managers can analyze what impact that coaching has had. Managers can graphically see how many times they have coached drivers relative to the unsafe driving and driver events. That way managers can compare the progress they have made over time.

“We are always looking for meaningful ways to simplify and automate processes for fleet managers and fleet owners. Now customers can monitor trends and see how coaching helps reduce unsafe driving events”, said Ezra Kwak, CEO of FleetUp.

FleetUp AI Dashcam is more than just a camera. It’s a world-class safety tool that can help companies increase safety and optimize their fleet operations. The FleetUp AI Dashcam can be subscribed as a standalone solution to provide visibility and real time location tracking or part of FleetUp’s comprehensive fleet management solution to manage optimal fleet performance, health, safety and productivity.

FleetUp has introduced a major breakthrough in the transportation industry. FleetUp’s annotation labeling addresses a major drawback with the traditional dashcam – that it records far more footage than any fleet can comb through. Sorting dashcam videos consumes countless hours of manpower that fleets don’t have.

Annotation labeling slashes through all of the recordings that fleets don’t need to review and highlights fleets’ most important footage. It optimizes video analysis, helping fleets efficiently manage risk, coach drivers, and reduce everything from accidents to insurance costs to vehicle wear and tear.

Annotation labeling sorts dashcam footage into four categories: High Risk, Medium Risk, Low Risk, and False Events. Users can also search videos by vehicle type, event type, risk type, and more.

Annotation labeling goes beyond the current industry standard, AI flagging. Annotation labeling separates high-risk from low-risk events. For example, it labels a driver going over a speed bump “low risk” and a driver jumping over a curb “high risk.” It provides fast access to the footage fleets absolutely need to review. Other flagging technologies can’t do this with the same degree of accuracy.

According to FleetUp CEO Ezra Kwak, “Without annotation labeling, it’s difficult if not impossible to identify the specific footage needed to pinpoint drivers’ worst mistakes. With annotation labeling, fleets have their most important footage at their fingertips.” Managers can use the annotated footage to see what mistakes their drivers are making – as well as why and when they’re making those mistakes. Then, they can use that footage to coach drivers, showing individual employees the bad choices they made and giving them the information they need to make better choices.

The user experience is simple. Managers simply visit their FleetUp platform and sort dashcam footage by risk level. They also have the option to search videos by vehicle type, event type, and more. It’s a powerful way to manage the safety and liability risks that all fleets face. Managers won’t have to waste time reviewing videos of truckers safely braking, looking at their phone while they’re still in park, hitting speed bumps etc.

Annotation labeling includes a number of additional features that simplify fleet management. Users can send specific videos directly to their drivers, showing them the exact behavior they shouldn’t repeat. Customizable graphs show the types of risky driving events that are most often putting users’ fleets at risk.

Dashcams have always been a valuable tool. But their full potential hasn’t been unlocked until now. FleetUp’s annotation labeling will help managers reduce accidents and all the costs that accidents entail.

The FleetUp AI Dashcam Automates Road Incident Documentation: The New Standalone Device Transforms the Future of Fleet Safety

FleetUp announced the release of a new and improved dual facing AI dashcam that enhances users’ fleet managers visibility of driver behavior and hazardous road conditions. The AI Dashcam is simple to install and seamlessly integrates into fleet operations, improving driver safety and training.

Increasingly dangerous roads are impacting both regular commuters and professional fleets. Although studies showed traffic falling by as much as 50% during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that the number of people killed on highways rose by 4.6% during the first 9 months of 2020. Overall, 2020 had the highest number of traffic deaths in 13 years.

Clearly, less traffic doesn’t mean safer traffic. Whether roads are full or empty, fleets need to make sure that their drivers are in control. 

Ezra Kwak, the founder and CEO of FleetUp, has been thinking about this problem for a long time. He says, “Fleet owners and fleet managers want to know exactly how their business is operating. We built the FleetUp AI Dashcam to complement our suite of business visibility and driver safety tools.”

FleetUp’s dashcam gives fleet managers the power to ensure that their drivers are safe at any time. With a simple click of the dashcam icon, managers can see real-time conditions on the road and in the cabin, effectively putting them in the driver’s seat.

The FleetUp AI Dashcam doesn’t just make checking on drivers easier – it also automates the process, recording and documenting every potential safety incident.

It does this in three ways: first, by using its AI to identify drivers who are tired or distracted. It captures incidents of risky driving and uploads the footage to the FleetUp Cloud. Managers can see which of their drivers are at risk and take steps to ensure that those drivers stay alert and focused.

Second, the dashcam’s AI voice assistant looks for unsafe driving. When it recognizes signs of reckless driving including tiredness, distraction, or phone usage, it tells drivers to take corrective action.

Third, when a vehicle gets into an accident or risks a collision, FleetUp’s new dashcam automatically sends recordings of the incidents to the FleetUp cloud. The footage is stored so that it can be reviewed by the appropriate parties. In the case of a driver who is recklessly accelerating and braking, the fleet’s safety manager can use the footage to discuss safety habits with the driver. Alternatively, if a passenger car cuts off a truck and causes an accident, that recording can be used to prove that the truck driver wasn’t at fault.

In addition to lowering accident risk and improving driver safety, FleetUp’s dashcam can significantly lower fuel and maintenance costs as well as reduce insurance premiums.

The FleetUp AI Dashcam is the newest addition to FleetUp’s comprehensive fleet safety and visibility solutions. As more fleets install dashcams in their vehicles, America’s streets will become safer for professional truckers, weekday commuters, and everyone who shares our roads.
