Fleet
Next-generation driver fatigue and distraction solution for fleets.
Introducing Guardian Generation 3:
the proactive safety system that protects drivers in real time, boasting unparalleled drowsiness and distraction detection, coupled with superior fatigue intervention.
Early drowsiness detection
Guardian continuously monitors and evaluates a driver’s level of drowsiness, intervening in real time if they are at risk. By intervening pre-emptively, drivers can take action before they tire further and potentially have a microsleep.
Advanced distraction detection
Guardian meticulously tracks a driver’s eyes to provide highly accurate distraction analysis, including continuous and short off-road glances (commonly seen with cell phone use).
Real-time intervention
When Guardian’s in-vehicle system detects a drowsy or distracted driving event, it intervenes in real time through a set of audio, visual, and vibration alerts. Instant feedback encourages drivers to avoid risky behaviours and allows them to recognise and develop strategies to mitigate these risks.
Driving is an inherently risky occupation, and the impacts of driver drowsiness and distraction cannot be understated. But these risks can be mitigated with genuine safety technology.
Guardian is a real-time, preventative driver safety solution trusted by over 1,100 commercial transport and logistics organisations globally.
Backed by over 20 years of research and development, Guardian is powered by technology that is trusted by some of the world’s leading automotive brands.
Guardian is scientifically proven to reduce fatigue-related events by more than 90%

How it Works
Guardian is a comprehensive safety solution which includes highly accurate fatigue and distraction detection with real-time intervention via the in-vehicle system, 24/7 monitoring and analysis through the Guardian Centre, and secure access to the Guardian Live web portal.
Event detected
Sophisticated face- and eye-tracking algorithms measure a driver’s head position, eye gaze and eye closure to detect fatigue and distraction.
Alerts activated
When a risky event is detected, the in-vehicle system intervenes in real time through a set of audio, visual, and vibration alerts.
Event analysed
Data and footage of the event are relayed to the 24/7 Guardian Centre through a secure connection for review and classification.
Action initiated
If needed, fatigue intervention is initiated. Fleet management can respond to mitigate the risk, in real time, with actions such as taking a break or ending a shift.
Education
Data on fatigue and distraction events is captured in the Guardian Live online platform and can be viewed and used to inform behaviour and process change.
Guardian Centre
What makes the Guardian solution truly unique is the addition of 24/7 monitoring and intervention by real humans, helping you save time, money and lives.
Our team of highly trained analysts work around the clock to review and classify every single risky driving incident and notify fleet managers within minutes of a confirmed fatigue event, so they can intervene and protect drivers their way, when it matters most.
Guardian Live
Customers are also supported via the Guardian Live web portal, which provides fleet managers secure access to view data and video of fatigue and distraction events, 24/7.
This comprehensive, real-time data can be used to understand situations as they evolve, support compliance and reporting requirements, and identify areas for driver and operational improvement.
