FREMONT, Calif. - Azuga has launched a product enhancement to its original fleet dashcam, Azuga SafetyCam AI, that is designed to improve road safety by helping to predict and prevent commercial auto accidents.
The Azuga SafetyCam AI dashcam uses a combination of multi-sensor HD cameras, artificial intelligence and computer vision technology. The dashcam, which mounts to a vehicle’s dashboard, produces a live stream of the driver while alerting fleet managers to potentially dangerous activity, such as hard braking, sharp turns, distracted driving and rapid acceleration. Facial recognition technology in the dashcam can detect when a driver is distracted or drowsy, whether at night or during the day. The AI neural learning network analyzes each driver-facing video to look for possible distraction events and provides tags to help fleets identify underlying causes of risky events. Video is automatically stored for 30 days, and SafetyCam AI works seamlessly with the Azuga Fleet and Azuga FleetMobile products to provide an integrated solution that reduces risk and improves safety.
In addition to the artificial intelligence layer of the new dashcam technology, Azuga brings an additional layer of human intelligence with its premium offering. With the premium service, Azuga’s team of professional risk analysts tag the events that best illustrate risky driving behavior and prioritize them for driver coaching.
SafetyCam AI builds on the existing safety framework that Azuga already has starting with buzzers in GPS devices, gamification and driver rewards, driver coaching with Azuga Coach, and basic SafetyCam that records harsh driver events.
“SafetyCam AI is the most anticipated product we’ve developed so far,” said Ananth Rani, CEO of Azuga. “We were reducing accidents by 38% without dashcams and expect to cut accidents by half or more as more fleets adopt this technology.”
