Technology news and briefs for the week of March 19, 2023:
Netradyne, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing focusing on driver and commercial fleet safety solutions, has partnered with online training platform CarriersEdge and commercial trucking insurance provider Cover Whale Insurance Solutions Inc.
The company has integrated its vision-based fleet safety camera platform Driver•i with the CarriersEdge online training automation system, allowing Netradyne customers to automatically assign and track required CarriersEdge safety and compliance training courses based on events and behaviors captured by the Driver•i device, which aims to reinforce good driving behavior. CarriersEdge offers access to nearly 200 interactive online driver training modules through its monthly subscription package and provides management and reporting functions through its platform.
This integration will allow fleets to better simplify training practices and improve driving behavior. Using a simple drop-down menu, administrators can create as many rules as needed, specify the type of driving behavior and set trigger thresholds and periods. It allows for cascading levels of training intervention based on the number and frequency of driver events. Rules are fleet configurable and can be changed at any time. In addition, the CarriersEdge platform documents training and coaching, which reflects the carrier’s efforts and dedication to consistently improving safety, providing proof in the case of litigation.
With intuitive driver alerts and high-performance processing, the latest Driver•i dual-facing dash cameras enable fleet management to promote safer driving, flag aggressive behavior, coach and communicate with drivers and exonerate them should accidents happen.
That's why Cover Whale will use Netradyne's advanced AI safety technology to gain insights into driver behavior, identify critical incidents on the road and deliver real-time alerts. The Netradyne platform also allows Cover Whale to coach drivers in cases of unsafe trends such as excessive speed, hard-braking and hard-turning. Drivers that follow the its Driver Safety Program’s guidance can save money on premiums, keep roads safe and get rewarded with Netradyne’s GreenZone DriverStars for proactive behavior like consecutive stops.
