Why CameraMatics? Pioneering safety on the road to Vision Zero

Posted 12 Sep 2024

As the market evolves, so does CameraMatics. Always innovating, always fine-tuning, and always finding new ways to prevent accidents and save lives on our roads. We remain the industry leader in camera and telematics safety solutions. Here’s why. 

Vision Zero: a commitment to accident prevention 

CameraMatics is not just a technology company; we are your partners in safety. Our mission revolves around Vision Zero – an ambitious initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. 

Unlike many competitors who focus on post-accident data collection, CameraMatics is dedicated to preventing accidents before they occur. Our comprehensive driver assistance systems actively work to identify and mitigate risks both inside and outside of the vehicle, ensuring that all road users make it home safely at the end of the day. 

Our approach is not just reactive but proactive. While competitors provide data to exonerate drivers after an incident, CameraMatics emphasizes accident prevention. Our technology is designed to foresee potential hazards and prevent accidents rather than merely documenting the aftermath. 

Direct Vision standards: a new era in global road safety through enhanced visibility 

As part of the drive towards Vision Zero, there is an increasing international focus on the safety of larger vehicles in urban areas. In simple terms, it is increasingly common for authorities to require either direct vision from the cab to danger areas around the vehicle, or technology that covers those critical blind spots. 

Additionally, these systems must alert drivers to vulnerable road users (VRUs) and help mitigate the impact of accidents. Unlike other solutions that overwhelm drivers with false alerts, our AI powered risk detection is precisely calibrated to minimize distractions. It detects real risks – such as cyclists in blind spots – and filters out non-essential elements like road furniture.  

London has been a pioneer with their Direct Vision Standard (DVS), setting stringent visibility requirements for heavy goods vehicles.  

CameraMatics is ready for a global rollout of these technologies. Our DVS solution is fully compliant, thoroughly tested and proven to meet all required direct vision standards – but don’t just take our word for it:  

Everything you need in one unified platform 

CameraMatics offers a one-stop solution that caters to the requirements of any fleet, regardless of its diversity. Our Safety Centre is a powerful, centralised hub designed to simplify the management of teams on the move.  

Designed for fleet managers who prioritise safety, it provides real-time insights, incident analysis, and driver performance monitoring. It allows for seamless tracking of compliance with safety regulations, automated reporting, and immediate access to video footage and telematics data in the event of an incident. 

By having all these resources in one easy-to-use platform, the Safety Centre empowers fleet managers to make informed decisions and implement effective safety strategies before, during, and after the journey takes place. This increases efficiency, reduces accidents and protects drivers and fleets. 

Genie Pro: The next generation dashcam 

The CameraMatics Genie Pro dashcam exemplifies our commitment to cutting-edge technology. This next generation dashcam can be installed with up to three cameras and includes best-in-class driver monitoring. Whether you’re running semi-trucks that need rear-view cameras, or cargo vehicles that require heated cameras for cold storage, the Genie Pro adapts to your fleet’s needs. 

Plus, it does more than just record journeys. It includes advanced AI technology that provides real-time alerts to help prevent accidents, ensuring drivers get timely audio warnings about potential hazards. 

Industry-leading Driver Monitoring System 

CameraMatics delivers the industry’s most sophisticated driver monitoring system, powered by cutting-edge AI technology. Whilst other systems rely on simple triggers such as head movements, CameraMatics spots the true signs of fatigue such as yawning and drooping eyelids and allows the system to be customised to the precise tolerance levels that suit your fleet manager and drivers.  

And it doesn’t just observe, it intervenes in real-time with precise in-cab audio alerts, effectively preventing costly accidents before they happen. 

In 2023, the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute compared AI driver support systems from three major competitors. The findings were decisive: one system accurately alerted drivers 86% of the time, another managed 32%, and a widely recognised industry leader could only reach 21%.  

CameraMatics on the other hand delivers an impressive 89% accuracy rate. We lead the industry. 

Geotab data within the CameraMatics dashboard 

CameraMatics is proud to be the official partner of Geotab, combining forces to provide fleet managers with unmatched visibility and insights, all within a seamless, easy-to-use platform. 

As the world’s leading telematics provider, Geotab delivers comprehensive, top-tier data—from GPS tracking and engine diagnostics to fuel consumption—enabling fleets to enhance both safety and operational efficiency. 

By integrating Geotab’s powerful data directly into the CameraMatics dashboard, we’re empowering fleet managers with the tools and insights they need to simplify operations, reduce risks, and make smarter, more efficient decisions for their fleets. 

Long-term value and ROI 

Ultimately, we’re about as far-removed from sticking a dashcam to a windshield as it is possible to get. We’re an integrated platform that lowers the total cost of fleet ownership. For instance, long-term CameraMatics customer McCulla is saving up to £200,000 annually thanks to our solutions. By reducing accidents, lowering insurance premiums, fighting fraudulent claims, and streamlining operations, these savings become substantial. It’s clear that prioritizing safety with CameraMatics not only protects your drivers but also enhances your financial performance, making it a smart choice for any business.
