The 2023-24 Guardian Insights Report unpacks deidentified data from over 60,000 vehicles, which collectively travelled more than 3.6 billion kilometres in the 12-month period to 30 September 2024. This follows on from our inaugural Guardian Insights Report where we leveraged Guardian’s unparalleled, naturalistic driving data for the first time, focusing on fleets in Australia and New […]
Do you know the difference between AFDD devices and other safety systems, such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) or In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS)? While all 3 technologies support driver safety, they serve quite distinct purposes. We explain each technology below, outlining the key differences. Active Fatigue and Distraction Detection (AFDD) Devices AFDD devices can […]
Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE), the advanced computer vision technology company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve transport safety, announced that the Guardian Generation 3 driver safety system has been recognised for its exceptional design and innovation as part of the prestigious 2024 Good Design Awards, receiving the Winner Accolade in the […]
We can all contribute to enhancing road safety by understanding driver fatigue. Not only can it make us more aware of when we’re getting tired behind the wheel, but it can help us take steps to prevent fatigue before it happens. Driver fatigue is a serious yet often underestimated threat to road safety. With the […]
The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) introduced a new protocol that is helping to drive adoption of driver state monitoring (DSM) systems in the automotive industry. It defines two broad categories of driver distraction and set requirements to detect these behaviours. Our Human Factors team collaborated on a study to examine the prevalence […]
Within the industry, there is an increasing understanding of the importance of Active Fatigue and Distraction Detection (AFDD) devices in safeguarding both personnel and operations. The IOGP’s recommendation of AFDD devices Land transportation safety has been a key area of focus for the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) over the past two […]
With a fleet of over 400 light and heavy vehicles covering more than 10 million kilometres annually, MPC Kinetic recognised driving as its most substantial risk, particularly due to driver fatigue. This risk is heightened by long hours spent in the field before driving back to camps. “MPC Kinetic was not immune to instances where […]
The rapid advancement of automated vehicles means the responsibility of the driving task is shifting toward the automated driving system, with the human driver becoming a ‘fallback’. This poses a safety conundrum, as it can entice drivers to perform non-driving related tasks which can hinder their ability to take over control of the vehicle if […]
