The Canal & River Trust (C&RT) has installed more than 500 dashcams from Teletrac Navman across its commercial vehicle fleet.
The Ai-enabled Smart Dashcams have been chosen with the aim of supporting improvements in safety and driver training, as well as offering protection against rising insurance premiums.
The cameras are both forward and driver facing, and allow both real-time driver behaviour notifications, and informed driver coaching subsequently.
C&RT fleet manager Steve Mulvaney said: “Our drivers are multi-skilled operatives and tradespeople, and now also have access to formal driving training with the data that’s been unlocked for us.
“The cameras allow us to replay their own driving to them – whether good or bad, creating a meaningful and efficient training programme. There is nothing like seeing your own driving replayed to help recognise the potential risks.
“We’ve had a really positive response from our team – everyone is keen to improve and increase their own safety, but also the safety of others on the road.”
Teletrac Navman UK product manager Barney Goffer said: “Modern fleets are expected to build a culture of safety and we’re proud to be supporting C&RT in their next phase of safety development.
“Technology is core to being able to deliver a safer fleet – and this is where a combination of our Smart Dashcams and AI can play a pivotal role in delivering increased visibility and efficiency for C&RT.”
