Video safety solutions with machine vision and artificial intelligence

Sep 28, 2020

Lytx, the world leader in video telematics systems, has recently updated its award winning Driver Safety Program, commonly known as DriveCam, with a world first Machine Vision and Artificial Intelligence algorithm.

This pioneering MV+AI technology is designed to detect high risk driving behaviours which has seen an incredible quadrupling in the detection high risk driving behaviours such as inattention and distraction. Some of these behaviours were virtually undetectable by current safety technology, however DriveCam now enables fleets to manage these hidden risk factors and take preventative measures before they turn into a serious incident. The updated Heinrich’s safety pyramid demonstrates the relationships between risky events and severe outcomes.

DriveCam Safety Program - Risk

Lytx has been developing DriveCam for more than 20 years and now proactively protect more than 1 million drivers every single day including some of the largest fleets in the waste industry worldwide. Lytx focussed all their attention on using video technology to improve safety which is what has made DriveCam the market leader and were recognised by Frost & Sullivan as the “2019 Video Safety Solutions company of the year”.  Lytx enjoys more than 60% global market share, due in part to its fantastic product and to their outstanding customer support and service.

There are several features which make DriveCam unique and next level over any other driver safety system:

Root Cause Analysis

DriveCam quickly identifies the root cause of risks associated with the driving task.  This is the “WHY” of an incident or near miss occurred.  If you do not definitively know why an incident occurred, then it is impossible to take steps to prevent the incident occurring again.

Risk Management

DriveCam has well defined risk scoring so you can track your safety progress as a business. This means you can track your results and benchmark against branches, teams or the industry as a whole. It also allows you to pinpoint the problem to focus your efforts.

Coaching Workflow

The most important feature of DriveCam is the very thing which makes it unique and so successful and that is that once risks and root causes are identified and verified, DriveCam then provides a platform to manage and mitigate those risks out of your business.

DriveCam does this by what Lytx call a “coaching” session with the driver who exhibits risks whilst driving.  This coaching session is 3 – 5 minutes and is specifically tailored to educate and support the driver to change any bad driving habits.

Collision Reduction

It delivers between 50% and 90% reduction in at fault collisions. Because of the coaching approach developed by Lytx for over 22 years, drivers with bad, often sub-conscious habits such as persistent tailgating, unsafe lane changes, or texting whilst driving, are trained and coached to eliminate these habits from their driving style.  This proactive and supportive approach to driving behaviours often achieves an 80% reduction in at fault collisions for the customer.

Cost Neutral

Primarily due to the unique coaching approach of the DriveCam Safety Program which achieves point 3 above, whatever the business spent prior to DriveCam on vehicle repairs, vehicle and staff downtime, lost productivity and revenue, insurance claims on damaged freight etc,  will more than cover the investment needed for DriveCam.
