Get ready to discover Eagle-IoT Video Telematics solution that will reshape the way you view vehicle tracking forever.

What is DMS and why is it becoming so popular?

As a crucial technology for preventing accidents and optimizing driver safety, Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) are experiencing growing prominence within the automotive industry. It’s AI-based algorithm uses advanced technology to monitor the rapid eye movement, head position, and alertness levels of the driver in real-time to detect signs of fatigue, distraction, and other risky behaviours. In-cab alerts are sent to drivers when they engage in unsafe driving practices

A typical DMS algorithm generates alert for the following risky behaviour:

Smoking: An alert is triggered when the driver is seen smoking while driving a vehicle.

Distracted driving: If a driver is not staring directly in front, an event of distracted driving is generated.

Mobile Usage: Driver-facing, in-cab AI dashcam generates an alert if the driver is using phone while driving.

Drowsiness: An event is triggered to discourage the practice of driving while fatigued.

Enhancing Safety Measures: Proactive Policy Formulation

These insights actually put your drivers on a scale from best to worst driving behavior helping fleet managers to identify the risks and generate policies accordingly. These policies usually include trainings, incentives, penalties and even terminations. They can also utilize these insights to take proactive measures to prevent accidents. These features offer a comprehensive picture to provide insight about what happens in-cabin and serves as in-depth evidence in case of an incident or collision.

The Future of Fleet Safety: Integrating AI-Based Analytics

As the automotive industry continues to evolve and awareness of driver distraction grows, DMS is likely to become an even more important and valuable tool for improving driver safety and reducing accidents. By integrating Eagle-IoT video telematics with existing solutions and workflows, fleets can harness the power of AI-based analytics to further bolster their safety measures.

by عائشة | Feb 1, 2024 | Fleet Management and Telematics

What is the importance of Axle Load Monitoring System?

Why Every Public Transporter Needs Load Monitoring in Saudi Arabia

As we all know, a rule has been passed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia regarding the monitoring of load. According to this new rule, it is mandatory for every public transporter to have their trucks integrated with the load sensors. But do you know why this is mandatory for all?

For anyone who is managing a fleet of heavy assets, what comes to your mind when you are budgeting? Often we think of combustibles and vehicle expenses but what about the maintenance and technical failure expenditures? When it comes to the heavy-duty assets, the most exposed part is the axles of a freight truck bearing stress whole time leading to hefty maintenance outlay.

An overloaded truck is a serious threat to other road users and infrastructure. As heavier the weight of the truck is, higher will be its kinetic energy resulting in the drastic consequences in case of a crash. For safe operation and maximizing the payload whilst avoiding fines for overloading, the monitoring of axle load is inevitable.

Benefits of Axle Load Monitoring:

Reduced Maintenance Costs: Overloaded vehicles put excessive stress on axles, leading to quicker wear and tear and expensive repairs. Axle load monitoring helps prevent overloading, extending vehicle life and reducing maintenance costs.

Improved Safety: Overloaded trucks pose a serious safety risk, increasing their stopping distance and potential for accidents. Axle load monitoring ensures safe operation by staying within weight limits.

Optimized Payload: By knowing the exact weight on each axle, companies can optimize cargo distribution for maximum payload without exceeding limits.

Reduced Fines: Overweight fines can be significant. Axle load monitoring helps avoid these fines by ensuring compliance with regulations.

Prevented Underhand Cargo: With real-time load data, companies can monitor loading and unloading events, preventing unauthorized or unreported cargo.

Infrastructure Protection: Overloaded trucks damage roads and bridges. Axle load monitoring helps protect infrastructure by ensuring vehicles stay within weight limits

Eagle-IoT Axle Load Monitoring Solution

Eagle-IoT offers the monitoring of axle load with the integration of its advanced axle load sensors. With Eagle-IoT axle load monitoring, you can always monitor the excess load of the vehicle overall along with the load per axle. These load sensors are capable of sending data through a GPS tracker to the online monitoring system and/or to onboard driver’s display. Moreover, with its custom settings, you can receive an alert for loading and unloading events along with the event’s location of the map with respect to the time of the event. This information will help you in keeping the check of underhand cargo and will prevent the overloading of the vehicle. Thus depreciation of the vehicle and road infrastructure can be avoided and maintenance cost can be reduced.

Eagle-IoT axle load monitoring is not only limited to freight trucks but it is also appropriate for measuring the loads in dump trucks, garbage trucks, city buses, light-duty trucks, and municipal vehicles. Axle load monitoring is not only capable of preventing the breakdowns but will also optimize the cargo loads and prevents from hefty fines while exceeding the allowed axle load limits.
