How the cloud AI detects events

When an event is triggered, this is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI analyses the event and detects other unsafe driving behaviours. Then a classification is applied.

Road-facing behaviours

Near miss

A collision was avoided that could have resulted in:

  • Damage to a vehicle and/or object

  • Injury to a person and/or animal.

For example, the driver swerves to avoid a vehicle, person, animal and/or object, which is detected very close by.

Scenario

When an event is triggered, this is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI analyses the event and detects other events, for example Near miss. Then a classification is applied.

Example

A driver brakes suddenly and almost collides with the vehicle in front.

In this scenario, a Hard braking event is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI detects a person, animal or object very close by, but no impact exerted on the vehicle. A Near miss behaviour and a Major classification is applied.

Note

Near miss behaviours are precursors to collisions. Identify and discuss these events with the driver in a coaching session before they become serious incidents.

Collision

An impact occurred with a vehicle, person, animal and/or object. Alternatively, the driver lost control of the vehicle. For example, the vehicle spins, hits the kerb and/or mounts the grass verge.

Scenario

When an event is triggered, this is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI analyses the event and detects other events, for example Collision. Then a classification is applied.

Example 1

A Hard braking event is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI detects a significant impact exerted on the vehicle and a person, animal or object very close by. A Collision behaviour and a Critical classification is applied.

Example 2

A Harsh cornering event is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI detects the vehicle swerving off the road onto the grass verge. A Collision behaviour and a Critical classification is applied.

Tailgating

When the driver is closely following the vehicle in front.

The vehicle must be travelling over 60 km/h.

Rolling stop

When the vehicle does not fully stop at a stop sign.

Posted speed exceeded

When the vehicle travels faster than the road’s sign-posted speed limit.

Driver-facing behaviours

Phone distraction

When the driver handles their phone for at least 2 seconds. For example, they were scrolling, texting, or talking on the phone.

Seat belt unfastened

The driver is not wearing their seat belt.

The vehicle must be travelling over 10 km/h.
