VisionTrack, a provider of AI video telematics and connected vehicle data, has teamed up with Applied Driving, a driver safety and performance management solutions specialist, to develop a video-enabled safe driving solution.

The companies will bring together the proven benefits of automated risk reduction, 360-degree vision, and cloud-based video analysis for the first time to optimize fleet and driver safety.

“We are passionate about road safety and committed to working with likeminded organizations, such as Applied Driving, to continually push the boundaries of what is possible” VisionTrack Head of Sales for North America Matthew Ison said. “By integrating our AI video telematics with Applied Driving’s innovative safe driving technologies and processes, we can develop advanced solutions that further mitigate the impact of road, driver and fleet risk.”

Mitigating Risks and Increasing Safety

Under the partnership, Applied Driving's online web-application Riskmapp will be integrated with VisionTrack’s IoT platform. This will enable fleets to optimize driver engagement and coaching through the provision of targeted training that is supported with relevant video and data insight.

The solution will be able to use footage from around the vehicle, captured by forward, driver, side, and rear facing cameras, including a growing range of AI devices.

Footage of collisions and near misses will be uploaded to Riskmapp having been assessed and verified by VisionTrack’s AI-powered post-analysis tool, NARA. It will be available for review by both Applied Driving and the fleet customer, as well as shared with the driver as part of Applied Driving’s Triggered Trainingfunctionality within its Companion+ solution.

Video and supporting data will also be used where additional coaching and engagement is required, using real-life examples to encourage safer driving habits.

“This is a hugely exciting partnership that has the potential to transform how our fleet customers tackle driver and fleet risk reduction," Applied Driving Global Managing Partner Andy Phillips said. "By providing access to the latest technologies and integrations, we are helping companies to build a safe driving culture that prioritizes the welfare of drivers and other road users. Working closely with VisionTrack, we can take advantage of the latest advances in AI video telematics and the benefits this provides.”
