Transportation technology company EROAD announced the expansion of its flagship video telematics portfolio with EROAD Clarity Solo Dashcam, a single, connected, and cost-effective video solution that delivers more operational visibility while ensuring driver safety and protection from false claims.
EROAD Clarity Solo makes it easier for carriers to configure and implement video telematics into more asset and fleet types. The solution ranges from national and regional mixed fleets to local short haul heavy and light commercial vehicle (LCV) fleets. This includes fleets such as construction, waste management, and distribution vehicles.
EROAD Clarity Solo’s dual-facing camera delivers HD footage allowing managers to see what their drivers see with every safety event. This is especially important as lawsuits against trucking companies are increasing in frequency and greater sums are being awarded in lawsuit verdicts.
Jim Angel, vice president of video telematics, EROAD, says driver exoneration by video is imperative for protecting fleets. He says it’s especially true for heavy short-haul fleets and light commercial delivery vehicles navigating challenging environments. “Just think about the exponentially growing number of delivery trucks you see on your streets every single day,” Angel says.
EASILY RECALL VIDEO EVIDENCE
To support easier and quicker video investigation, EROAD added a new feature that will be available across its entire video telematics portfolio. The EROAD fleet management cloud portal now enables video search based on vehicle location in addition to time of day, which has been proven to be a more effective way to find the right video evidence to protect and exonerate drivers. This is because most people link events to where they were when recalling a specific and memorable incident.
A more agile search system paired with contactless NFC log-on technology associates all video and telematics to a specific driver. This helps fleet owners protect their drivers while also offering more meaningful coaching based on specific examples. As a result, the manager can engage the right driver at the right time for the right reason.
Casey Ellis, president of EROAD North America, says video telematics is the key to EROAD’s mission of keeping customers safe. Clarity Solo brings the same high-quality Clarity video telematics to more fleets that can gain advantages from video. The advantages include spending less time searching video clips and freeing owners up to focus on their business, Ellis explains.
And while EROAD Clarity Solo enables carriers the flexibility to implement the solution alongside any fleet management system, EROAD customers have the benefit of integrating the standalone dash cam with existing EROAD solutions, including industry-leading fleet management, ELD, as well as trailer and asset tracking.
