The system combines Motormax’s in-cab Safetymax system — which provides a 360o view of a vehicle — with Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud via a single platform.

Jonathan Haycock, Motormax co-founder and director, said, “DVS and FORS were introduced to improve road safety and reduce incident frequency. […] Our single platform technology not only assists drivers locally within the cab, but communicates to the wider operational team for continuous monitoring and training.”

How it works

Safetymax uses multi-camera systems alongside visual and spoken voice warnings to alert drivers to potential incidents. Incidents might include if a vehicle is being overloaded or if cranes, booms or stabilising legs are stored incorrectly.

In the event of a potential incident, the driver is alerted to allow them to take remedial action. Now, though, video footage and warnings will also be instantly uploaded to Samsara’s cloud-connected operations platform, so line managers, fleet, and safety managers can review the information simultaneously and remotely.
