from a fleet, including location, speeding, harsh braking, engine diagnostics, fuel efficiency, harsh acceleration, idling time, and more in video format. Combining video equipment like dashcams , LIDAR, or SONAR sensors with vehicle analytics provides a more holistic view to fleet managers. With the help of this, the system can easily record and review everything happening in and around the vehicle, including traffic, the environment, and driver behavior. Video recording can be valuable in case of accidents and other events happening during the overall journey. ADAS and DMS warn drivers of potential dangers and can help them correct their actions before it’s too late. A combination of sensors and cameras can enhance fleet safety. It can also help drivers navigate safely through rush-hour roads as well as long highway hours. ADAS predicts a possible collision and warns drivers about it. Here’s a list of warnings that can be generated by ADAS. Keep reading to learn what they mean: Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With the help of road-facing cameras and sensors, ADAS scans the road and traffic conditions. If your vehicle is too close to the car ahead of you and yet you continue traveling at a speed at which a collision is guaranteed, then the warning will be triggered. It notifies you only when you tailgate or don’t hit the brakes even after you see the car in front of you slowing down. The notifications come several seconds before the collision happens–so drivers can react and avert it. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Reckless lane changes and departures can lead to brutal accidents. Sometimes, reckless lane departure is done consciously—by reckless driving habits. Other times, it
