AI Safety Intelligence: Reward drivers, spot risk and prevent incidents in real time

Driving ranks among the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S¹. Over the past decade, there has been a 49% increase in fatal crashes², coupled with a 40% increase in associated insurance premiums³. Samsara offers the most advanced technology on the market to help detect risky driving events, such as phone use or speeding; now, several new AI-fueled features have been added to improve fleet safety and reward safe driving:

• AI Multicam: Drivers can now add up to four additional HD cameras, providing a 360-degree view to reduce blindspots, all accessible through an in-cab monitor. In addition, the AI Multicam actively notifies drivers in real-time of hazards, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Whether using a Samsara camera or a third-party device, administrators can retrieve historic video footage and corresponding audio to help quickly resolve incidents.
• Weather Intelligence: Administrators can now overlay real-time weather data pulled from the National Weather Service onto the existing dashboards to view and alert workers of imminent threats such as fire risks, heavy rain and more.
• Safety Coaching for Lean Teams: A new set of customizable features help administrators with lean safety teams scale driver coaching and recognition with AI and automation. AI analyzes hundreds of risky driving events—considering factors like severity, frequency, road conditions, and total drive time—and automatically sends low-risk behaviors to drivers for self-coaching and escalates higher-risk events to managers. Further, AI provides insight into big picture behavioral trends across drivers and trips, so managers can coach based on driving patterns, not just isolated incidents.
• Revamped Driver App: As the No. 1 driver app in both major app stores, the Samsara app now includes TikTok-style training videos to boost engagement and end-of-day reviews to help with driver coaching. Designed to act as a companion for drivers throughout the day, the app now offers new gamification features and recognition tools to reinforce positive, safe behavior. For example, administrators can send gift cards that can be redeemed at popular dining, entertainment and shopping locations directly through the app.

“Coach USA is committed to being the safest transportation company in North America,” said Jason Louis, VP of Safety, Coach USA. “Through focused safety initiatives and our partnership with Samsara, we’ve achieved a 92% reduction in preventable incidents. The introduction of Samsara’s AI Multicam and Pedestrian Collision Warning will help us to continue promoting safer roads, move toward zero incidents, and remain a trusted partner for communities nationwide."
