Seeing Machines signs FreshLinc as first UK Fleet customer
15 June 2017
Seeing Machines (AIM: SEE), an industry leader in computer
vision based human sensing technologies which enable breakthrough
solutions in performance, safety and user experiences, announces
its first UK multi-year services contract with FreshLinc, a large
temperature controlled distributor, subsequent to launching its
Guardian System at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham,
United Kingdom.
The Guardian System solution was successfully trialed at several
of FreshLinc's depots to measure the levels of fatigue and
distraction prevalent in their fleet and to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Seeing Machines Guardian system at mitigating
those risks through it's in-cabin alerts and 24/7 monitoring
intervention service. The three-year agreement will see 320 of the
distributor's heavy vehicles fitted with the Guardian System and
the drivers further protected by the 24/7 global SafeGuard
monitoring service based in Tucson, Arizona.
FreshLinc, already innovative in their approach to driver safety
and compliance, are actively working with Seeing Machines to
showcase the benefits gained through the deployment of Guardian
across their fleet to other UK based distributors, driving superior
safety solutions for the UK commercial vehicle industry and
highways.
In 2015 1,804 people were killed and 22,855 people were
seriously injured on the road in the UK. Of those accidents,
distraction accounted for 25% of fatalities and driver error
accounted for 68%, according to the Reported Road Casualties Great
Britain: Annual report 2015, Department for Transport.
Seeing Machines' Guardian System is a real-time driver fatigue,
distraction and accident prevention service, proven to achieve over
90% reduction in fatigue or distraction related driver events. As
well as in-cabin alerts, such detected danger events are tracked
and analysed in the 24/7 monitoring centre where tailored
intervention programs and ongoing analytics are provided to fleet
managers to help minimise incidents through ongoing driver training
and wellness programs to keep drivers safe, prevent accidents and
make roads safer.
Paul Angelatos, President, Guardian Systems at Seeing Machines
commented: "The Guardian safety solution is already saving
professional drivers' lives internationally, and now we're
positioned to better protect UK fleet operators and surrounding
highway users by addressing distracted driving and fatigue in
real-time, preventing accidents before they happen. We are
delighted to be working with FreshLinc to better safeguard their
drivers, improve their safety culture and protect their brand."
Lee Juniper, Managing Director FreshLinc commented: "We care
about our drivers and want to make sure each one gets home safely
every day. Even though our drivers and equipment are among the best
on-the-road, we are confident this technology will further
strengthen our safety culture, protect our drivers and improve
highway safety overall."
