MiX Telematics launched MiX Vision AI—an extensive update to its video telematics offering. With this solution, MiX Telematics further enhances its ability to help customers improve driver safety and reduce operating costs.
MiX Vision AI leverages machine vision technology to detect and alert drivers and managers to unsafe or risky driving behavior. Driver monitoring events include fatigue, phone use, distraction, smoking, and seat-belt use; passive ADAS events include forward collision and lane departure warnings. In-cab, audible alerts warn drivers in real time so that immediate corrective action can be taken. MiX’s extensive online software and mobile apps make video footage to managers for driver coaching.
NEW SOLUTION FOR A PROVEN PROGRAM
MiX Telematics first launched an integrated telematics solution in 2013, combining video and data to customers via a single platform. On-road or in-cab video footage linked to driving or vehicle events is automatically transmitted and available online. Users can also request time-based, continuous video extracts for detailed incident analysis on-demand. The platform also caters to live streaming, giving fleet operators greater visibility into their fleet operations.
“We’re excited about the significant value this new solution will bring to our customers as well the growth opportunity it presents to MiX,” says Catherine Lewis, executive VP of technology for MiX Telematics. “Reducing driver distraction and fatigue are key to improving driver, passenger and road safety, and reducing crashes. Evidence-based footage also provides additional context to help improve driver behavior and coaching and enables companies to exonerate claims and reduce costs.”
Lewis says MiX Telematics has seen an increase in the uptake of the MiX Vision solution over the years. However, improvements in technology and proliferation of dashcam devices drives greater awareness and adoption in fleets across all industries.
“While video telematics started as a niche application and add-on to vehicle telematics, it is fast becoming mainstream,” Lewis adds. “MiX Telematics is ideally positioned to give our customers the best of both worlds by combining leading-edge AI-powered video with rich vehicle telemetry data to provide maximum fleet insights and real-time safety interventions.”
