According to the US Department of Transportation’s NHTSA, approximately 900,000 collisions per year are caused by distracted driving resulting in tens of billions of dollars a year in damages, vehicle repairs, legal fees, and more.
Even great drivers can easily become dangerous, distracted drivers if they eat, drink, smoke, or use their phone (especially if they’re texting) while driving because taking your attention from the road even for a moment can result in a catastrophic collision.
Therefore, a business that owns a fleet of vehicles of any size has a vested interest in making sure the drivers of those vehicles keep their attention on the road.
Fleet management software solutions integrated with cameras can help avoid distraction and protect drivers, vehicles, and entire fleets.
How Cameras Help Avoid Distracted Driving
Smart cameras that are integrated with a fleet management software solution are helpful because they allow fleet managers to coach drivers and create a plan for avoiding distractions before a collision occurs.
Systems like these help drivers:
- Notice when they’re distracted
- Encourage correction
- Reduce collisions
- Increase road safety for others
- Stay safe
How Nexxo Fleet’s Tech Works to Protect Your Fleet
Nexxo Fleet’s camera solutions combined with our fleet management technology provides insight into the driving habits of your entire fleet.
As well, our system provides digital displays for dashboards that are integrated with dual-facing cameras. This can be customized to loudly alert drivers in real time to distraction events as well as speeding, tail-gating, and more so that collisions are more likely to be prevented.
The Nexxo Fleet system alerts drivers to the exact safety hazard so that they don’t become further distracted trying to determine the committed fault. These real-time corrections teach drivers how to avoid distractions as they drive.
Integration with the Nexxo Fleet platform allows managers to receive a real-time alert of distractions and live-stream and record footage from all fleet cameras from one customizable dashboard on their smartphone or ELD so that they can respond quickly to help drivers.
Through email alerts, containing video footage of risky driving incidents, businesses can use it to work with employees to help boost safe driving habits.
