A California industrial technology company has added several new features and enhancements to one of its safety systems.
Trimble Video Intelligence’s digital video recording system can now support up to four cameras, including an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). The company has also added a driver monitor, a notification system, additional cameras and a driver assist video functionality.
“Trimble’s Video Intelligence solution goes far beyond surveillance and investigation,” said Jesse Chappell, global business development manager at Trimble Transportation. “This strategic technology with enhanced video features has become a key component in safety programs, encompassing driver fatigue, distraction and road hazard monitors and alerts, and is a major risk reduction tool for drivers and fleet managers.”
The company’s four-channel DVR now includes a 1920x1080-pixel high-resolution, forward-facing ADAS camera that mounts on the windshield, providing views of the road ahead and offers driver coaching opportunities and accident monitoring. It warns drivers of unintentional lane departures, provides forward collision notifications and more.
Recorded data is processed in real time using artificial intelligence to provide immediate feedback and trigger event recordings.
The DVR is 40% more efficient than the rate of the previous DVR with the new enhancements, the company said.
The system also now includes additional cameras, including a driver- or passenger-side pod camera that captures events that take place alongside a vehicle, in adjacent lanes or in a driver’s blind spots. A rear-facing camera that mounts on the back of a tractor offers additional context around triggered incidents near the rear of a truck and helps further identify driver coaching opportunities.
