Our definition of distraction

The driver looked away from the road for at least 2 seconds.


How distraction is detected

A Distraction tag is applied by:

  • Camera AI: The driving behaviour is detected by the AI Dashcam in real-time, then alerts the driver (if in-cab alerts are enabled) and triggers a video event in Reveal.

How to prevent videos falsely triggering

Videos can be falsely triggered, usually when an AI Dashcam lens is obstructed or in the wrong position.

Learn how to avoid falsely triggering videos.


How distraction affects a driver's safety score

When distraction is detected, it negatively impacts the Video driver safety score. Riskier behaviours impact the score more negatively than others.
