Introducing Driver Coaching

Leverage AI to Coach Your Drivers and Streamline Fleet Operations

At Smarter AI, we’re dedicated to fostering a culture of safety within fleets. Recognizing the critical importance of fleet safety and the myriad challenges faced by fleet and safety managers, we aimed to address a pressing issue: How can we enhance safety and reduce accidents on the road?

According to the NHTSA, the US incurs $11B in total crash costs every year, with countless lives lost. These tragic incidents are preventable, and we are committed to making a difference. Which is why we’re thrilled to announce Driver Coaching.

With Smarter AI's Driver Coaching, fleets can operate more safely and efficiently, leading to better safety scores, increased driver retention, and increased profitability.

Our AI Driver Coaching solution empowers fleet managers to proactively manage safety events, track driver safety scores, leave notes, and streamline the entire coaching process. Furthermore, the integration of dashcams and AI technology in commercial fleets has significantly increased the rate of driver exonerations. With Smarter AI’s real-time video evidence, incidents can be quickly reviewed and resolved, often within minutes.

State Of The Art Detection on Edge

Smarter AI dashcams, with their industry leading AI models, support a plethora of ADAS and DMS features to help keep your drivers safe in realtime. Below are some of the features that our dashcams support

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are electronic systems in vehicles designed to assist drivers in driving safely. They enhance vehicle safety and road safety by using automated technology to detect nearby obstacles or driver errors and provide feedback accordingly. Smarter AI dashcams do this by providing realtime incab alerts to the drivers. Some of the ADAS feature we support are:

Tailgating
Rolling Stops
Passing In a No Passing Zone
Forward Collision Warning
Near Collision
Collision

DMS (Driver Monitoring Systems)

Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) are advanced safety features to monitor the driver's attentiveness and behavior. These systems detect signs of drowsiness, distraction, or other unsafe behaviors, alerting the driver to take corrective action. Smarter AI cameras detect the following types of driver behaviors to keep them safe

Distraction
Cellphone Usage
Fatigue
1. Yawning
2. Microsleep
No Seatlbelt
Smoking

In addition, Smarter AI’s rear and side cameras provide added safety and crucial context while reviewing events. Having driven 2+ Million miles, our cameras are battle hardened and are the only cameras in the market with double 9s of precision in tracking driving behavior.

Workflows To Streamline Operations

Smarter AI helps in monitoring and rectifying unsafe driving behaviors with its state of the art AI models, which are pivotal for coaching. Coaching can be split down into 3 phases.

Realtime Coaching: Proactive coaching is done by the Smarter AI camera as soon as it detects risky behavior. This coaching is done through clear, audible, and precise in cab alerts directed towards the drivers in order for them to course correct immediately. The purpose of realtime coaching is to free up back office bandwidth for fleet managers and let Smarter AI do the heavy lifting for you.
Face To Face Coaching: If drivers do not rectify their driving patterns, then fleet managers have the ability to initiate a face to face coaching session from the Smarter AI platform. This allows you to go review, pick, and bundle any events you’d like to coach the driver for and input detailed notes on each event for the coaching session discussion.
Post Coaching Evaluations: Smarter AI continuously monitors driver behavior and, based on proprietary formulas, assigns a safety score to each driver. When you complete a coaching session, Smarter AI intuitively maintains a log of the driver safety score before and after the coaching session so you can keep a track of who has improved their safety score and who needs more attention.

With Smarter AI coaching, streamline your coaching program and get valuable time back to work on things that matter most.

Your Best Eye Witness For Exonertations

According to the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the use of in-cab cameras and telematics has reduce litigation costs by providing concrete evidence in disputes. A 2020 study by the ATA found that fleets using telematics and camera systems experienced a 25% reduction in litigation costs due to the ability to exonerate drivers swiftly when they were not at fault.

Smarter AI enables you to keep detailed, documented, and downloadable evidence at hand to help your fleet and your drivers in case of litigation and nuclear verdicts. This evidence is available for Smarter AI dashcams capture a wide range of driving behavior metadata such as:

Full HD Driver facing and road facing videos
Full HD extension camera videos
Vehicle sensor data
Vehicle telematics data
GPS positioning data
Accelerometer and gyroscope data
AI model data

Smarter AI also allows you to pull any and all footage from the camera going back to 2 months, which is crucial for prolonged litigations. According to The American Truck Association (ATA), 80% of crashes involving a truck can be linked back to the car driver’s mistake. Exonerate your drivers quickly from unjust litigations with Smarter AI’s deep vehicle insights and telematics.
