Meritor WABCO and SmartDrive Systems developed a commercial vehicle performance management system to help fleets improve safety and operational efficiency.
ProView powered by SmartDrive will provide insights into driving situations through video-based analysis. A personalized driving performance improvement program and predictive analytics are also available to help reduce collisions and improve fuel efficiency.
“ProView tells the complete story of what’s happening behind every situation with full facts and data,” said Jon Morrison, president and general manager for Meritor WABCO. “By offering video and data analytics and delivering critical event video content fast, fleets can identify and significantly reduce potentially dangerous situations.”
The video feature, similar to “game film” analysis used by experts during televised sporting events, is a safety improvement tool that unifies vehicle, driver and driving data. The system comes with a forward-looking and in-cab camera. Drivers can access the video directly through a smartphone app.
“Measuring risky driving can help fleets improve safety, reduce collision costs and lower fuel expenses. Fleets can prioritize coaching with a focus on high-impact areas such as following-distance violations, excessive idling and acceleration, stability events, rolling stops and driver inattention.”
In addition, Morrison noted that ProView prioritizes, analyzes, sorts and packages the data for fleets. ProView will start as an aftermarket retrofit in May.
