Driving while not focused (distracted driving), whether due to drowsiness, fatigue, or diverted attention from the road, poses a serious risk to the safety of the driver and other road users. For commercial fleets, such unsafe driving behaviour can damage reputation and reduce company profits. To address such risky driving behaviour, you need fleet management technology with smart camera features, such as Smart Cabin offered by Cartrack.
Cartrack’s Smart Cabin is an intelligent camera that can trigger video recording when dangerous driving behaviour occurs, such as drowsiness or lack of focus. The video is displayed from two perspectives: facing the road and facing the driver’s cabin. This is made possible by two built-in cameras in a single Smart Cabin device—one facing outward and the other facing into the cabin. In addition to recording video, Smart Cabin also displays alerts on an LCD screen that can be seen by the driver.
Camera Facing the Driver's Cabin
Smart Cabin continuously monitors the driver’s head tilt position in a three-dimensional (3D) perspective. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, the Smart Cabin camera can detect when the driver is not focused, then automatically triggers alerts and video recording. Alerts and video recording are not triggered if the driver briefly looks away from the road once, nor when the driver looks left or right to ensure the road is clear before changing lanes. Triggering only occurs when the driver’s head position indicates drowsiness or when attention is diverted from the road repeatedly over a certain period while the vehicle is in motion.
Camera Facing the Road
Video from the road-facing perspective provides a broader view of the situation when distracted driving occurs. For example, it can show whether the steering becomes unstable, whether the vehicle is following too closely, or whether the behaviour happens during heavy traffic conditions. This complete overview helps you evaluate drivers and provide training that is tailored to their specific needs.
Warning for Drivers During an Incident
The Smart Cabin device features an LCD screen that displays information when distracted driving behaviour is detected. The information appears in the form of icons and text representing the triggering event, accompanied by an audible warning. This function allows drivers to evaluate their driving behaviour by being informed each time the Smart Cabin detects unsafe driving actions.
All video recordings from Smart Cabin are automatically sent to Fleet Web and can be downloaded. Fleet managers can review the footage and confirm whether the recorded triggering events constitute actual driving safety violations. Fleet managers can also see the location and time of distracted driving events that triggered the recording, as Smart Cabin includes basic GPS tracking functionality.
With Cartrack’s Smart Cabin, you can gain a complete overview when distracted driving behaviour occurs. Fleet managers can use video recordings for evaluation and training, while drivers benefit from visual alerts on the camera’s LCD screen accompanied by sound warnings. In addition, dual-perspective video recordings can assist in investigating accidents involving your drivers.
