Eroad telematics to integrate Seeing Machines Guardian tech

Fleet management partnership to incorporate fatigue and distraction detection

 

Transport IT provider ERoad will integrate Seeing Machines’ Guardian technology into its fleet management software as part of a new agreement between the firms.

The Guardian technology uses face and eye tracking algorithms to detect fatigue and distraction, allowing proactive intervention before a risky driving incident occurs.

The integration of the technology will provide operators with a single tool for managing video telematics, where previously there were two separate managing systems, Eroad said, making it easier for fleet managers to prioritise actionable insights from data as well as developing a greater understanding of the risks associated with their fleet and coach drivers.

“Our mission at EROAD is to help every community enjoy safer, more productive roads,” Eroad CEO Steven Newman said.

“We’re all about improving fleet safety through better driver behaviour and the integration of Seeing Machines’ Guardian technology will help us achieve that.

“Seeing Machines’ Guardian safety technology is set to become a vital element in the MyEROAD portal to ensure safer and more sustainable outcomes for fleet operators and drivers.”

According to Seeing Machines’ research, in-cab alerts reduce fatigue by upwards of 60%, and 24/7 monitoring centre analysis and intervention decreases the occurrence of fatigue by an additional 30% to achieve a reduction in fatigue related driving events of more than 90 percent.

Its Guardian technology is being used in more than 26 countries.

“We are very happy to be partnering with EROAD,” Seeing Machines CEO Paul McGlone said.

“Our Guardian technology has seen expanding global penetration into long haul and heavy transport fleets and will be a huge benefit to EROAD users not only in New Zealand, but Australia and America as well.

“The Seeing Machines purpose is to get everyone home safety so we are closely aligned with EROAD as both companies take pride in helping make roads safer, knowing this integration will help achieve that.”
