#collision avoidance

Izaña-1 In Tenerife, Spain, stands a unique duo: ESA’s Izaña-1 and Izaña-2 laser-ranging stations. Together, they form an optical technology testbed of the European Space Agency that takes the monitoring of space debris and satellites to a new level while maturing new technologies for commercialisation. Space debris is a threat to satellites and is rapidly becoming a daily concern for satellite…

The escalating threat of collisions between satellites and space debris – often referred to as the Kessler Syndrome – demands immediate attention. With over 11,000 active satellites currently orbiting Earth and plans for thousands more launches in the coming years, the problem of orbital congestion is reaching critical levels. Furthermore, the presence of over 1.2 million pieces of space debris…

Managing fleet safety is a crucial task, an important responsibility as a lot depends upon it. With the number of vehicles increasing every day, the potential risk of road accidents as well as other safety hazards also tends to rise. In view of this, the role of the fleet managers ensuring the safety of their vehicles & drivers at all the times has become and will always be very vital. 

With more & more commercial vehicles and passengers falling prey to road accidents these days, it is vital to keep stringent driving and safety practices intact. Apart from the safety of your drivers & fleets, it is equally important to consider the safety of other vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Thus, this is where Fleet Safety Insights come into play. 

What are Fleet Safety Insights?  

In a nutshell, Fleet Safety Insights refer to the data driven insights that enable the fleet managers to make better decisions based on the actionable inputs they receive to improve and manage their drivers & fleets. 

The word ‘data insights’ might sound complex to you but it is the heart of technology as we know it. Fleet managers obtain these insights through various sources like driving behaviour, vehicle sensors, fleet GPS tracking as well as other external sources.

How drivebuddyAI assists Fleet Managers improve fleet & driver safety by using AI 

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way fleet managers make decisions and operate their fleet. By providing real-time data analysis and predictive capabilities, AI can help fleet managers make informed, data-driven decisions that can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase overall profitability.

To increase your fleet manager’s capabilities, giving them access to AI-powered technology is imperative. It will surely make their job easily manageable. Here is how drivebuddyAI’s ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) makes the difference.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming increasingly reliable because of their results in world of fleet management as a way to improve safety on the roads. drivebuddyAI’s ADAS cameras captures in-cabin videos, roadside videos and surroundings, providing valuable visual information that can help fleet managers make informed decisions about routing, safety, and other important factors. In addition, an ADAS camera also provides data on vehicle speed, braking, and other performance metrics that can help fleet managers optimize their operations.

Four significant ways through which drivebuddyAI ADAS improve your Fleet Manager’s decision making: 

Provide Real-Time Alerts & Notifications: Real-time alerts are one of the most effective ways of creating transparency between the fleet managers & the fleet drivers. drivebuddyAI gives fleet managers real-time alerts regarding potential risk to the safety on the road. These alerts include warnings for speeding, hard braking, sudden accelerations, signal breaks, lane departures and other hazardous driving behaviours. 

Enhance your Driver's Performance: driverbuddyAI ADAS deeply analyzes your driver’s driving behaviour and provides core insights on it. This includes data on the driving habits, fuel consumption and other key parameters like drowsiness detection, distraction alerts and phone usage alerts. This also allows the fleet managers to take driver coaching into consideration if required. 

Improve Fleet’s Route Planning: drivebuddyAI ADAS cameras collect real-time traffic data and other roadside data to help fleet drivers and managers to improvise their route planning. A major and primary impact of this is reducing fuel consumption, emission and other fleet operational costs. Improving your route planning also helps in collision avoidance and prevents unnecessary risks on the road. 

Optimisation of Vehicle Maintenance: Maintaining your fleet is equally important as a well-maintained vehicle ensures more safety. A fleet manager could use data analytics to determine the optimal time to perform maintenance on a vehicle based on its usage history and make data driven decisions for its future usage. This could also help in reducing costly downtime and to improve the overall efficiency of the fleet. 

ਝਾਰਖੰਡ ‘ਚ ਰੋਪਵੇਅ ਟਰਾਲੀਆਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਆਪਸ ‘ਚ ਟੱਕਰ, 2 ਮੌਤਾਂ, 48 ਲੋਕ ਫਸੇ

11 ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 2022 ਝਾਰਖੰਡ ਦੇ ਦੇਵਘਰ ‘ਚ ਤ੍ਰਿਕੂਟ ਪਹਾੜੀਆਂ ‘ਤੇ ਰੋਪਵੇਅ ਟਰਾਲੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਟਕਰਾਉਣ ਕਾਰਨ ਘੱਟੋ-ਘੱਟ ਦੋ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਘਟਨਾ ਦੇ 16 ਘੰਟੇ ਬਾਅਦ ਵੀ ਘੱਟੋ-ਘੱਟ 48 ਲੋਕ ਫਸੇ ਹੋਏ ਹਨ. ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਉਣ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਜਾਰੀ ਹੈ. ਸੂਤਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਮਿਲੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਦੋ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਬਰ ਦੀ ਪੁਸ਼ਟੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਜ਼ਖਮੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਲਾਜ ਲਈ ਦੇਵਘਰ ਸਦਰ ਹਸਪਤਾਲ ਭੇਜਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਹਾਦਸੇ ਦਾ ਕਾਰਨ ਤਕਨੀਕੀ ਖਰਾਬੀ ਦੱਸਿਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਕਾਰਨ ਕੇਬਲ ਕਾਰਾਂ…

2nd space junk scare for ISS this week

NASA The International Space Station (ISS) changed course Friday to avoid a possible collision with a piece of an old Pegasus rocket. A chunk of that old rocket, which broke apart two years after the United States launched it into Earth’s orbit in 1994, was on track to pass close to the ISS Friday morning. NASA and Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, monitored the chunk throughout Monday,…

Dual-Use European Project will Advance Safe Air Traffic

Moving towards autonomy, unmanned aerial vehicles rely heavily on advanced collision avoidance systems. A European collision-avoidance project for drones wants to replicate the human ability to make the right decisions during dicey mid-air situations. The initiative involves the development of a
