On Mar. 27, the chief executive of expedite carrier Load One, John Elliott, stopped by the Netradyne booth at the Truckload Carriers Association’s annual convention to see a demo of a new risk management feature.
Netradyne recently added a new RiskMap feature to its Driveri (pronounced “driver eye”) vision-based safety system for no extra charge.
Load One is among the first motor carriers using the Netradyne Driveri system, and is installing it in a fleet of over 400 vans, straight trucks and tractors.
During the demo given by Adam Kahn, Netradyne’s vice president of fleet business, Elliott saw a RiskMap populated with Load One data.
Starting near the company’s headquarters in the Detroit suburb of Taylor, Mich., Elliot saw a few circles of varying sizes at intersections on a route leading to nearby Interstate 75. The size and color of the circles represented the volume of risky incidents by location that had been captured and analyzed by the Driveri system.
Kahn explained to Elliott that whenever Load One drivers go through intersections, the Driveri cameras in his vehicles use machine vision to detect if the light was green, yellow or red. Driveri can also detect when drivers rolled through a stop sign.
RiskMap also shows areas where the camera system detected incidents of reduced following distances, increased speed relative to traffic and incidents of vehicle damage.
