Safe driving is always the top concern of drivers when driving, with the desire to ensure safety for themselves, passengers and everyone, limit damage to vehicles, goods on the vehicle, … Therefore, the application of modern technology to support safe driving, especially AI cameras, is gradually becoming more popular than ever.
So, do AI cameras really help drivers drive more safely? GoTrack will answer your questions in the following article!
Lack of supervision – Increased traffic accidents
In Vietnam, trucks are the means of transport that cause the majority of traffic accidents from serious to extremely serious. The main cause comes from dangerous driving behavior such as lack of concentration while driving, drowsiness, fatigue or drunkenness, etc. Another part is due to the driver’s failure to react promptly to traffic situations due to lack of support tools, limiting the ability to observe and handle.
Statistics for the last 6 months of 2022 show: “The number of traffic accidents caused by commercial vehicles accounts for more than 35%, the number of deaths accounts for 38.7% and the number of injured people is more than 24”.
The lack of supervision from the management unit is one of the underlying causes that makes drivers neglect their work, work subjectively and unprofessionally. Therefore, the transport unit needs to strengthen remote monitoring and management to ensure that drivers comply with traffic safety regulations, focus, proactively drive safely and effectively.
Why do AI cameras help drivers drive more safely?
Correcting driving behavior
Compared to conventional surveillance cameras that only have a monitoring function, AI cameras with modern algorithms will immediately detect and automatically remind if the driver performs any dangerous behavior while driving. Behaviors such as: falling asleep, smoking in the car, using the phone, wearing headphones, not wearing a seat belt, etc. can all be quickly recognized by the device and automatically send warnings, asking the driver to adjust accordingly.
Now, managers do not need to monitor each driver’s “every move” and call or send them messages to remind them. With AI cameras, the driver’s work process is always closely monitored, ensuring they work effectively and minimizing dangerous behavior while driving.
Multi-angle shooting, comprehensive protection
AI cameras support multi-angle shooting, covering the inside and outside of the car, the areas in front, behind & on the sides of the car. Drivers can observe from many angles, especially in complex traffic situations such as when the driver has to reverse, turn around in a narrow space, identify obstacles, vehicles moving close or moving in blind spots that would be difficult to detect if only relying on the rearview mirror.
The camera also supports recording clear images and videos even in bad weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain or at night. Thereby increasing safety while driving, minimizing unwanted accidents due to limited visibility.
Detect and warn of all dangers early
While participating in traffic, many drivers must have encountered dangerous situations such as vehicles moving into blind spots, unable to observe, the vehicle in front slowing down or changing lanes suddenly, the vehicle behind moving too close, not keeping a safe distance, etc. These are all situations that pose a very high risk of traffic accidents if the driver’s visibility is limited, leading to an inability to react promptly.
AI cameras can help drivers drive more safely thanks to their ability to detect and warn early of dangerous situations while participating in traffic. With a wide angle combined with sophisticated algorithms, the device is capable of analyzing the surrounding environment, identifying pedestrians or other vehicles on the road, analyzing all traffic situations and sending warnings to help drivers easily observe and control the vehicle more safely, minimizing the risk of collisions and traffic accidents.
Create safe driving habits
AI cameras are like an assistant, a companion with drivers on all roads, regularly reminding and warning, helping drivers form safe driving habits. With the support of the camera, drivers proactively work focused, comply with regulations, pay attention to driving speed, safe distance, observe the road, … to have a smooth and convenient trip.
When drivers are aware of safe driving and comply with regulations, it will create a civilized traffic environment, reduce traffic accident rates, and ensure safety for everyone.
