The latest weapon in the fight to keep America’s truck drivers safe — and carriers’ legal fees down — is real-time video footage and risks monitored by artificial intelligence.

The automated speed citations do not add points to driver’s licenses. However, the faster a person is traveling over the speed limit, the higher the fine.

The revamped safety packages are headlined by a switch away from Bendix Fusion to a proprietary safety and collision mitigation system — Mack Protect.

In addition to installing video-based safety systems in the cabs of their trucks, some fleet operators also are deploying cameras on the side of the truck and even rear cameras on the trailer.

As the use of onboard cameras has expanded in trucking, so have the capabilities of these video-based systems, which increasingly use AI to more efficiently extract insights from video.

CHICAGO — Fleet operators are increasingly embracing the use of dash cameras, but successfully deploying these in-cab systems hinges on driver acceptance of the technology.

LAS VEGAS — Trucking sensors are becoming an increasingly pivotal area of focus as an enabler of automotive technology, with that growing importance demonstrated at CES 2024.

The use of cameras on heavy-duty #trucks has gone mainstream as more and more fleets have adopted forward- and inward-facing cameras to coach drivers and reduce liability. Now the latest smart camera #technology is taking things a step further, helping carriers capture more angles, gain new insights and derive more operational value from video.

Video-based safety systems are helping fleets prevent crashes and exonerate drivers, but successful deployment of this technology continues to hinge on driver acceptance.
