Teletrac Navman Launches Integrated Multi-Camera Solution For Transport And Logistics Industry

Teletrac Navman is launching its multi-camera
solution
for trucks in New Zealand, which integrates
with its recently released AI-powered
software,TN360
.

Designed specifically for
transport and logistics operators, Teletrac Navman’s
high-definition multi-camera solution captures more than 10
days of rolling footage, available to view from the
back-office without the need to physically get into the
vehicle. The camera solution also triggers real-time alerts
for out of the ordinary road events, such as harsh braking
or swerving via G-force sensors, making it a highly valuable
tool for analysing road collisions, and recording the
behaviour of other road users for insurance and legal
claims.

With the ability to have up to four cameras,
in a combination of forward-facing, driver-facing, left and
right-side cameras, it gives a comprehensive view of each
vehicle. Fleet operators have the option to choose how many
and what cameras to use, and how they are used. The camera
solution integrates into Teletrac Navman’s TN360 AI-based
system, alongside GPS tracking data, speed, and other
vehicle and driver information to give a deeper level of
insight into what’s happening on the road.

The New
Zealand Transport Agency states that in recent years, deaths
from crashes involving trucks made up around 17 to 23
percent of the total road toll, while truck movements
represent only around 6 percent of the total distance
travelled on New Zealand roads. In crashes involving a truck
and another road user, the truck driver has been found to
hold the primary responsibility for only one-quarter (24
percent) of fatal crashes. However, owing to the vehicle’s
large mass, in collisions that involve one car and one
truck, 98 percent of the deaths, 89 percent of the serious
injuries and 83 percent of the minor injuries are car
occupants[1].

“Truck
drivers are less likely to be of primary responsibility in
fatal and serious collisions with other road users, but they
do have to deal with the emotional trauma – the shock and
guilt – as well as the legal and financial outcomes. This
camera solution can assist drivers and operators to
exonerate themselves in these collisions, by giving them an
objective recording of the situation,” said Andrew
Rossington, Chief Product Officer, Teletrac
Navman.

“Other uses for cameras include protecting
the business against fraudulent insurance claims,
exonerating drivers in allegations of their truck causing
damage, assisting drivers on the road – especially in
monitoring blind spots, and ensuring safety compliance,”
said Andrew. “What’s special about our camera solution,
is that it is integrated with the whole tracking system,
giving a more complete picture of driver behaviour – for
example the speed of a truck going into the incident. This
is particularly useful for high-level driver
training.”

Southland transport operator, Herberts
Transport, has adopted the use of Teletrac Navman’s
in-vehicle cameras as a tool to help rule out their
drivers’ culpability in potential incidents. The company
experienced an incident involving one of their vehicles and
a car at a roundabout. After watching the video recording,
the team realised that it was the car at fault – not the
driver – as they could clearly see what
happened.

“Even though I understand that some truck
drivers are unsure about having a camera in their truck,
when you’re in my position, you only use them to get
drivers out of incidents, rather than a surveillance
tool,” said Scott Hutton, Managing Director, Herberts
Transport.

Teletrac Navman’s Integrated
multi-cameras are now available in New Zealand. Find more
