Fleet and safety managers deal with many important tasks daily, from ensuring vehicles are properly maintained to handling unexpected logistics issues and monitoring driving behavior. Whether it’s dealing with breakdowns, unsafe driving, or unpredictable road conditions, every day comes with challenges that could put drivers or the business at risk. Protecting your drivers and your business is priority number one. To handle these risks effectively, you need the right tools to spot issues before they become bigger problems and keep everyone safe on the road.
Every day, 3,700 people lose their lives in road accidents. Most of these accidents, almost 70%, aren’t even the truck driver’s fault! That’s why having the right tools to prevent incidents is essential.
One tool that makes a huge difference is the AI dashcam. These cameras use artificial intelligence to detect unsafe driving behaviors, alert drivers in real time, and help managers step in before small problems turn into big ones.
Keep Drivers Safe
The top reason to use an AI dashcam is simple: safety. Your drivers are out on the road every day, and you want them to come back safe and sound. For instance, RouteMate AI Dashcams give you instant alerts when something risky happens – like distracted driving or harsh braking so drivers can correct themselves on the spot.
Fleet managers can also use the recorded footage to create coaching sessions for drivers – Sit down together, review what happened, and come up with ways to improve. This builds trust and makes the whole team stronger.
And it works – fleets that use dashcams have seen an 86% drop in crash costs.
