Aggregate 滨苍诲耻蝉迟谤颈别蝉鈥� Lafarge Cement business and its partner, Lomas Distribution, have fitted Spillard鈥檚 driver status monitoring system to all of their tanker fleets
The technology exploits artificial intelligence to track and detect eye movements like rapid blinking, facial features and any other signs of fatigue, triggering an alarm that sounds until the vehicle comes to a stop.
It can also detect mobile phone use, smoking, lane deviation and not wearing a seatbelt. The blackbox system also triggers a remote alarm back at a transport base.
It's the latest technology to be added to the Lafarge Cement fleet, which already has remote access controls, emergency stop functions, collision and lane departure warnings.
Matt Owen, supply chain manager in Aggregate 滨苍诲耻蝉迟谤颈别蝉鈥� cement division, said: 鈥淒river fatigue is always a potential issue across any business involved in transport and fleet so we鈥檙e delighted to be utilising the latest technology with our partners to ensure that everyone gets safely home from work.鈥�
