PIVOTAL HAS SEEN Driver and road user safety enhanced with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) cameras across Cash and Valuables in Transit (CVIT) fleet
Cash in transit specialist Pivotal has hailed the significant benefits delivered by the introduction of smart cameras across its 165-strong vehicle fleet.
A month-long trial conducted earlier this year demonstrated how the addition of the AI-powered multi-camera system, combined with MICHELIN Connected Fleet’s data analysis tools, boosts driver performance and safety.
Charlene Quayle, Group Fleet Manager at Pivotal, says: “The AI cameras can identify driver fatigue and distraction, or the inappropriate use of a mobile phone while driving.
“Combined with on-board telematics data, it’s proved invaluable in assisting me as a driving assessor in boosting driver performance and rewarding our best.”
As well as providing insight into in-cab driver behaviour, the AI algorithm can identify and trigger a live camera feed for events such as harsh braking or rapid acceleration. Drivers also receive real-time proximity alerts for pedestrians, cyclists and following vehicles.
The ability to live stream is critical given Pivotal’s business transporting money and valuables. “The nature of what we do means we’re classified as high risk. Being able to see what’s happening in real time brings with it huge peace of mind, allowing us to keep our drivers safe,” adds Quayle.
According to Quayle, the smart cameras have also been excellent for establishing who is at fault in incidents, including situations where people claim they were hit by a Pivotal vehicle but were not near it at that time.
MICHELIN Connected Fleet data analysis means that key events such as these are picked out for customer review, removing the onerous task of manually trawling the entirety of the camera feeds.
Grant Robson, Global Business Director at MICHELIN Connected Fleet, says: “Our smart camera solution offers huge benefits to operators, including ensuring the safety of drivers and other road users, improving driver behaviours and quickly establishing liability in incidents.”
Pivotal operates from eight locations in Ireland, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland, providing more than 30,000 CVIT services per month, as well as ATM replenishment.
