CarriersEdge, provider of online driver training for the trucking industry, unveiled its new dashcam integration system. The new system allows carriers to automatically assign and track required training based on dashcam captured events and behaviors. Further, because of its design as an open system, the functionality will work with camera systems from multiple leading providers.
Jane Jazrawy, CEO of CarriersEdge, says dashcam systems have evolved into powerful driver improvement tools capturing coachable behaviors all the time. “Integrating with those systems allows our customers to support their coaching efforts with automatic assignments and tracking of all activities,” Jazrawy says. “With customized rules and support for different providers, fleets can tailor a program that suits their specific needs and fits into their existing risk management programs.”
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING
The dashcam integration system enables carriers to create as well as assign personalized programs for each driver. Using a drop-down menu, administrators can create rules, specify the driving behavior, and set trigger thresholds as well as periods. The integration system allows for cascading levels of training intervention based on the number and frequency of driver events. Additionally, customers can configure and change the rules at any time.
According to Jazrawy, assignments can be a combination of content including classroom, online courses, surveys, as well as policy documents. This allows for flexible learning and progressive interventions that match behavior severity and frequency. Once drivers complete the assignments, administrators and managers receive updates on training scores and completion status.
Jeff Engle, channel sales director, Lytx, says CarriersEdge’s ability to support Lytx’s DriveCam Event Recorders presents a win for everyone. He says combining Lytx’s machine vision and AI technology with the world’s largest driving database allows the companies to offer more current and aspiring drivers the opportunity to improve their skills and make the roadways safer.
Dashcam integration is available now as part of a CarriersEdge subscription with no extra cost for configuration or use.
