3G road safety

Posted to on Share:

3G vehicle cameras have been shown to have a significant impact on road safety and insurance costs according to Intelligent Telematics including a reduction in accident frequency of 45%.

These findings were taken from the analysis of 2000 commercial vehicles using the company’s IT1000 camera system over a six month period, which also found that as well as actually preventing accidents from happening, the cost of those that did occur were 27% less as a result of instant intervention.

Nick Plowman, CTO of Intelligent Telematics, said: "We are seeing multiple benefits from using a 3G vehicle camera, which are helping fleets to operate more responsibly while at the same time reduce overheads. The 3G cameras are not only preventing incidents and discouraging other road users from making a fraudulent or inflated claims, but when an accident does happen the footage is available from the scene within seconds so first notification of loss is helping achieve substantial insurance claim cost savings.”

The forward-facing device transmits footage of accidents and near misses via a secure 3G private network to a web-based interface with live email and SMS alerts, so a triggered event can be viewed almost immediately.
