The article “Video - The
New Fleet Telematic Killer App” by Johan (February 2019) introduces LTYX
DriveCam, a road-facing camera that can be installed in the user’s vehicle that
serves multiple purposes. From basic dash-cams functions to detecting driver’s
behavior as well as recent road traffic accidents that happened in the
vicinity of the driver’s location.
There are functions that
trigger the camera to start automatically or in a predetermined interval in
order to protect the user’s privacy. Videos recording will then provide drivers
with “post-drive coaching” to further improve their driving performance.
The camera also has facial
tracking properties allowing it to detect the driver’s fatigue and distraction
as well as provide the driver with real-time notifications, giving drivers
feedback such as visual and audible alerts and vibrations to focus the driver’s
attention back on the road thus preventing potential road traffic accidents.
When compared to other road-facing cameras on the market, LYTX
DriveCam should be a business’s primary choice as they provide many functions a
normal vehicle dash-cam does not.
One function that LYTX DriveCam has is to locate, track and manage
your company’s vehicle in real-time through their online platform. Companies can
use this function to keep track of the arrival and departure times of their
vehicles to ensure their drivers stick to the exact routes provided by setting
alerts when vehicles enter or exit specific areas or operate beyond certain
times. The system will then make adjustments to the routes and provide a more
efficient route to minimize time loss. LYTX DriveCam is also able to help
companies manage costs by tracking idle time and fuel consumption based on
accurate reports from vehicle engine control modules.
Another function that LYTX provides is to be able to install LYTX
DriveCam anywhere on the car, you can connect up to 4 DriveCam to provide 360
degrees view surrounding the vehicles whereas cameras such as “Pearl
RearVision” only provides video recordings from the rear of the vehicle. During
road traffic accidents companies can review the video recordings to retrieve data
of accidents.
A vital function that gives LYTX DriveCam a competitive edge over
other dash-cam competitors such as “Pearl RearVision” would be their machine
vision and artificial intelligence (MV+AI) technology. This technology can
detect risky driving habits, recognize risky driving practices, from unsafe
braking habits to the speed of the vehicle to cell phone usage. By giving
drivers a score based on the frequency and risk levels of their driving
behavior, they can review these data to improve and change their driving
habits. LYTX technology can detect if a vehicle stopping at the stop sign by
combining machine vision with data taken from the GPS, accelerometer and the
vehicle’s on-board computers.
LYTX DriveCam combines multiple high-quality video streams with
sophisticated data from a variety of sensors, it then analyses all information
and data recorded using the in-build artificial intelligence to build a
predictive risk model that can help drivers see and avoid dangerous situations before they occur.
With dash-cam becoming a necessity for car owners, I think that
these unique functions that LYTX DriveCam provides can help protect good
drivers against passengers or nearby vehicles that make poor decisions.
Companies can utilize LYTX DriveCam to help absolve their drivers from false
claims that could affect their job and the company’s reputation.
