Since the introduction of the breathalyser, alcohol impairment has been measured using a fixed chemical concentration threshold as a proxy for impairment. Part 2 of our Technical Paper Series on Intoxication explains why chemical presence does not reliably indicate impairment, and how this is even more prevalent when assessing cannabis impairment. Unlike chemical thresholds that […]
Driver, Jack Palfreman, and Fleet Maintenance Manager, Clive Gallivan, at ALDI supermarkets in the United Kingdom share how our Guardian solution is helping them to address safety risks and better support their drivers. With a 24-hour operation and various shift patterns, fatigue and distraction are key challenges for ALDI which the Guardian system can detect […]
In January 2026, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) released the 2026 Master Code of Practice, an authoritative safety resource designed to guide parties in the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) in managing hazards and risks under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). While still an informative document – not a legislative requirement – the Master […]
In early January 2026, the UK Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander MP, released the new UK Road Safety Strategy, outlining a comprehensive national plan to build a safer future for all road users. Aiming for a 65% decrease in the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) on roads across Great Britain by 2035, the […]
Guardian has now travelled more than 21 billion kilometres globally, and with it, our naturalistic driving dataset continues to deepen in scale, diversity and value. Following last year’s first global analysis, the 2024-25 Guardian Insights Report provides an even more comprehensive view across every region in which Guardian operates. With fatigue and distraction remaining significant […]
Attention sharing detection represents a major advancement in Guardian’s distraction detection, measuring not just where a driver looks, but precisely how much time they spend with their eyes off the road. With drivers more connected than ever, the risk of distraction behind the wheel is a central concern for fleet operators, insurers, and regulatory bodies. […]
In partnership with Brake, the road safety charity, we recently launched the Vehicle safety technology report exploring driver attitudes towards safety features in their cars and how they are used. As part of our strategic partnership, we supported one of Brake’s road safety campaigns: All new vehicles to have life-saving technology fitted as standard. In April […]
Mozal Aluminium, a major aluminium smelting operation producing ~575,000 tonnes per year, operates continuously – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With internal vehicle movements transporting molten metal and other intermediate products across its site, the company faces elevated risk at every interface between people and mobile equipment. Mozal Aluminium deployed Guardian to […]
We continue to innovate our solutions for interior sensing across transport to get more people home safely. In partnership with Airy3D, we have launched our next-generation 3D camera technology specifically designed for in-cabin monitoring systems. The new technology provides higher precision eye-tracking in the cabin, by delivering 3D range data as well as 5MP RGB […]
In Europe, there are a number of regulations and recommendations for driver fatigue and distraction technology for oil and gas fleets. Further to our article on AFDD devices and other safety systems, we explore the difference between Active Fatigue and Distraction Detection (AFDD) devices, Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning (DDAW) systems, and Advanced Driver Distraction […]
