Our definition of an unfastened seat belt
The driver was not wearing their seat belt, or was wearing it incorrectly, while traveling over 6 mph (10 km/h).
How an unfastened seat belt is detected
An Unfastened seat belt tag is applied by one of the following:
- Camera AI: The driving behavior is detected by the AI Dashcam in real-time, alerts the driver (if in-cab alerts are enabled) and triggers a video event in Reveal.
- Cloud AI: The driving behavior is detected by the cloud AI when the video is uploaded to Reveal. The video event was triggered by a different unsafe driving behavior.
Note
Even if driving behaviors detected by camera AI are disabled in your fleet's AI driving assistance settings, videos triggered by other events will be analyzed and the driving behavior may be detected by the cloud AI.
How to prevent videos falsely triggering
Videos can be falsely triggered, usually when an AI Dashcam lens is obstructed or in the wrong position.

How unfastened seat belts affect a driver's safety score
