Keeping Drivers and Loads Safer on the Road

VisionTrack: Revolutionizing Fleet Management

VisionTrack is a subsidiary of the Markerstudy Group and has garnered attention for its innovative approach to fleet safety and management. The company was recognized as a regional winner for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at the Gartner Financial Services “Eye on Innovation” Awards during ITxpo 2016 in Barcelona. Furthermore, it clinched the ‘Most Innovative Digital Customer Service or Product’ category, leveraging big data to enhance UK road safety for all users.

How VisionTrack Enhances Road Safety

VisionTrack utilizes state-of-the-art, high-definition camera technology connected through a mobile network to an IoT hub hosted in a private cloud. In the UK, the system integrates with the Britannic Technologies contact center, facilitating close monitoring of fleet activities. Here’s how it works:

• Real-Time Monitoring: The system employs video cameras to monitor driver behavior continuously, allowing for immediate feedback and intervention if necessary.
• Incident Tracking and Analysis: In the event of an incident, the system alerts the contact center, which can then provide real-time assistance. Fleet managers receive instant notifications, and video footage is stored securely in the cloud for post-incident analysis.
• Predictive Capabilities: VisionTrack’s 3G telematics cameras learn driving patterns and predict potential hazards, alerting drivers to avoid accidents.

The Benefits of Implementing VisionTrack

The primary goal of VisionTrack is not surveillance but safety and efficiency. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Accident Reduction: By monitoring and correcting risky driving behaviors, the frequency of accidents can significantly decrease.
• Enhanced Driver Safety: Real-time monitoring and predictive alerts contribute to fewer injuries among drivers and other road users.
• Secure and Timely Deliveries: Enhanced safety measures ensure that loads reach their destinations on time and undamaged.
• Potential Reduction in Insurance Premiums: With fewer accidents and enhanced safety protocols, insurance providers may offer lower premiums.

Big Data’s Role in Fleet Management

Big data plays a crucial role in the functionality of VisionTrack. It involves analyzing large and complex data sets to predict behaviors and outcomes. In the context of fleet management, big data allows for:

• Predictive Analysis: Understanding and predicting driver behavior to prevent potential incidents.
• Behavioral Analysis: Identifying patterns that could lead to enhanced training programs and improved driver performance.

Conclusion

VisionTrack is not just about monitoring; it's about actively enhancing road safety and operational efficiency. By integrating advanced technology with real-time data analysis, VisionTrack provides a comprehensive solution that benefits drivers, fleet managers, and the general public. Investing in such technology not only contributes to safer roads but also offers significant financial benefits for haulage companies.
