Teletrac Navman has released its driver distraction, cell phone usage, and drowsy driver detection to its AI-powered dashcam and video telematics solution – the IQ Camera.

The IQ Camera’s video telematics capabilities can identify behavior, such as mobile phone use, erratic head movements and gaze deviations, and help the driver maintain focus on the road. For driver fatigue, continuous monitoring of physiological indicators, such as eye closure duration and head position, triggers timely alerts to combat drowsiness and fatigue-related collisions. 

The system’s drowsy driving detection feature addresses driver fatigue by analyzing eye closure duration to detect signs of drowsiness, providing timely alerts. The suite’s cellphone distraction monitoring detects when drivers hold their phones to their ears for a specified duration, taking proactive measures to discourage illegal behavior and promote a safer driving environment. 

In cases when distraction, cell phone use or drowsiness is detected, and the time parameters are met, an alert is triggered to the driver. They’ll hear an audible spoken word alert and to the back-office team as an event with footage and telematics data in TN360, Teletrac Navman’s fleet management system.
