Verizon Connect debuts AI Dashcam
Abstract
To provide fleet managers with a greater range of insight into dangerous events and in-cab coaching to alert drivers in real time of high-risk driving behaviors, Verizon Connect is unveiling its advanced Artificial Intelligence Dashcam. The new Verizon Connect Dashcam utilizes advanced AI to enable real-time detection of potentially dangerous driving events and to boost driver safety. "The new technology provides a significant step to help our customers future-proof their fleets." The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems helps to monitor tailgating, pedestrians and cyclists, while the Driver-Monitoring System tracks distracted driving, phone usage, fatigue and more. In-cab audio alerts: Drivers will be alerted of unsafe driving events in real time. Verizon Connect's AI Dashcam provides audible alerts to drivers when it detects unsafe driving, including signs of tiredness, distraction and phone usage and then tells drivers to take corrective action. Cloud-based AI distills data into useful insights and video footage is automatically analyzed for severity and tagged with context so that managers know what is important and actionable to improve driver safety. In the case of a driver recklessly driving, the manager can use the footage to coach and discuss safety habits.
