INTRO

Professional drivers spend many hours on the roads. Although all countries have laws in place to prevent distracted driving and inappropriate behavior behind the wheel, distractions remain a major cause of many accidents that result in serious injuries, casualties, and property loss. Keeping that in mind, we have developed a sophisticated video telematics warning solution that actively helps corporate fleets with that.

CHALLENGE

According to IATSS research data, crashes due to lane departures are among the deadliest collision types. Only in the USA alone, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) could prevent 6% of crashes, 10% of injury crashes, 6% of fatal truck crashes, and 31% of fatal single-vehicle crashes. Even more, a system of this kind could prevent 297,000 road departure crashes every year. Overall, the situation in other countries is no better – globally, about 60% of road accident fatalities happen because of unintentional lane departure.

The most common and predominant reason for that is distracted driving, which is described as any activity that diverts attention from driving a vehicle. Sadly, many of us, professionals or amateurs, are quality of that a lot. Consider this – according to recently conducted a national survey among American drivers aiming to understand their habits, 52.5% of respondents reported eating while driving, 23.6% texting, 11.7% taking photos, 6.5% applying makeup, and 3.4% drinking while driving. Even more, drivers are distracted by their phones for at least 10% of their driving time.

The study conducted by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in December 2020, found that lane departure warning systems decrease single-vehicle, sideswipe, and head-on crashes by 11% and injury crashes of the same types by 21% for passenger vehicles. In short, these systems ˙have proven to be effective in reducing traffic accidents, loss of assets and cargo, injuries, and fatalities.

To address this major concern, and assist fleet managers and drivers, the Jimi IoT Telematics team has developed and manufactured the ADAS solution – the sophisticated video telematics system designed to avoid collisions and accidents on roads.

SOLUTION

In this use case, we take advantage of the Advanced Driver-Assistance System (aka ADAS) – a comprehensive video telematics solution recently launched by Jimi IoT It consists of a dedicated camera mounted on a vehicle windscreen JC450 Series and the GPS tracker VL02 combo.

Based on leading-edge technologies, Jimi IoT ADAS has several integrated warning systems: lane departure warning, forward collision avoidance warning, pedestrian collision, forward proximity, front vehicle start alarm, safety distance alert, and speed limit recognition. We have specifically designed its smart feature set to avoid traffic accidents and collisions in the most effective way possible. For that reason, when managed correctly, the system can significantly improve drivers’, cargo, and road users’ safety, and reduce injuries and fatalities.

How it works – the JC450 Series ADAS camera mounted on a windscreen constantly detects the alarming driving events in front of a vehicle. Jimi IoT VL02 model tracks them and sends the relevant data to the dedicated server for timely monitoring, detailed analysis, and further reports. Most importantly, the system notifies a driver immediately via the display with a visual and sound alert of a likely upcoming danger or risky driving event.

Although Jimi IoT ADAS is a complete everyday use solution and there are many causes of road accidents, but we focus here on the main reasons causing most lane departure collisions. Let’s go through some of them more closely and see how ADAS can prevent them.

The core principle of the LDW feature is this – it sends an instant visual and audio alert via a display to a driver when there is a vehicle lane deviation without signaling a left or right event detected, thereby helping to avoid an accident or a collision with an oncoming car. If the vehicle turn signal has been activated before leaving a lane, the event will be ignored, assuming the intentional driver’s action.

Mobile phone distractions. Talking on the phone, browsing, and/or texting while driving leads drivers to shift focus to something else and take their eyes off the road. No doubt, the increased risk of a traffic accident here is obvious.

Fatigue and drowsiness. Drowsy driving is the dangerous combination of driving and sleepiness or fatigue. Here to add, drowsy driving is a major concern for many professional drivers worldwide. And here is why – it makes a person less able to pay attention to the road, slows down a reaction time if he/she has to brake or steer suddenly, and affects the ability to make adequate and timely decisions behind the wheel. Thanks to the ADAS LDW feature, the drifting from the lane event will be timely detected and tracked and a driver will be warned helping to avoid the costly outcome.

Eating and/or drinking while driving. Sadly, it is a pretty common habit too, and might have pricey or even tragic consequences for road users and drivers. Consider this – while eating, a driver’s reaction speed is lowered by 44%; while drinking – by 22%. To make it worse, according to survey data conducted by ExxonMobil, over 70% of drivers admitted to eating behind the wheel, and over 83% – to drinking beverages while driving. As before, if an inadequate or risky driving event occurs because of the distractions mentioned above, it will be detected by the ADAS helping the driver to regain focus and get the vehicle under control in time.

To sum up, the brand new Jimi IoT ADAS solution assures the fullest accountability and detailed and undisputable evidence of the driver’s behavior on the road. Rest assured, it helps properly and timely to deal with the most widespread unwanted habits and the risk-increasing factors mentioned above, saving people’s lives, company assets, resources, and reputation.  It is a powerful software solution helping to manage GPS devices swiftly and efficiently.

BENEFITS

Instant and distinct LDW notifications – a driver will get a visual and sound alert via a dedicated display conveniently placed on a dashboard whenever an event of drifting from the own lane is detected.

Fewer traffic disruptions, accidents, and collision rates – LDW system continuously and faultlessly detects driver’s behavior preventing the vehicle from drifting from the lane, thereby helping to avoid pricey errors on the road.

It keeps drivers accountable, disciplined, and safe – constant vehicle events tracking and monitoring along with an appropriate motivation system will promote desirable driving habits and improve the company’s reputation.

Hassle-free automated drivers’ and events tracking, monitoring, notifying, and management – an accurate and timely events data transfer to a dedicated server for analysis by fleet management utilizing Jimi IoT ADAS accessory and VL02 tracker features.

Extensive ADAS solution functionality to serve corporate fleet needs – flexible configuration for a project or business needs, an impressive set of smart warning systems, and handy detections on demand to optimize fleet management, lower its running cost, traffic accidents, and fines, medical and insurance expenses, and significantly improve ROI.
