The Swedish provider of IoT connectivity and end-to-end solutions, AddSecure has announced the launch of a state-of-the-art, AI-powered video telematics solution for detecting driver fatigue based on DMS (Driver Monitoring System) and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technology. IoT – Internet of Things – is a collective term for technologies of a global infrastructure of information societies, enabling the networking of physical and virtual objects and allowing them to collaborate through information and communication technologies.

The solution named RoadView Plus is the most accurate solution for detecting driver fatigue on the market. It promises to revolutionize road safety by helping fleet operators monitor driver behavior and avoid fatigue-related accidents. RoadView Plus utilizes a combination of DMS and ADAS technology to monitor driver behavior and recognize signs of fatigue and distraction. The system employs advanced algorithms to analyze driver data and detect patterns of fatigue, such as yawning, nodding, and head dropping. The system warns the driver in real time and reminds them to take a break or rest to avoid accidents caused by drowsy driving.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of RoadView Plus, our innovative AI-driven video telematics solution,” commented Ulrika Allén, VP Product & Technology Smart Transport at AddSecure, on the market launch of the technology. “This state-of-the-art technology with the most precise driver fatigue detection on the market will help fleet operators ensure their drivers' safety on the road. We are confident that our latest offering will revolutionize road safety and help prevent accidents due to driver fatigue."

According to Allén, the system represents a significant breakthrough for road safety, as driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents worldwide (20-30 percent of highway fatalities). Additionally, the solution helps fleet operators comply with regulations that require them to monitor driver behavior and take appropriate measures to prevent accidents.

Camera and Sensors Monitor

comprises a forward-facing camera for external recordings, an IR sensor to detect driver fatigue or distraction, and a small internal display that shows and triggers warnings in the cabin. The system also offers a cloud-based platform that allows fleet operators to monitor driver behavior and receive real-time alerts. In the event of an incident, the company manager or operator is informed via an alert about the event.

The stored videos and data can be used to create a driver rating table and for evaluation after the incident or for personalized training. The system can be customized to the specific needs of fleet operators and is integrated into AddSecure's other fleet management solutions to provide a one-stop-shop for fleet and transport management. The company's latest offering is a testament to its commitment to innovation and its mission to create a safer, smarter, and more connected world.

What does this mean?

On the one hand, it's fascinating how safety features can minimize accident risks. On the other hand, the driver can be monitored in real-time, videos can be stored—couldn’t this potentially be a bit “Big Brother”?
