Lytx data shows fleets improving safe driving behaviors
Summary
Roadway fatalities remained flat in 2022 after two years of dramatic increases, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said there remains a national crisis of traffic deaths, the trucking industry is showing signs of improvement in safety. Riordan attributed these improvements to fleets taking proactive measures in managing their safety by implementing technology as well as Lytx’s adoption of artificial intelligence during the timeframe of this study. “Increase in AI is proactively encouraging folks to not be distracted on their cell, or to be attentive in their driving, wear their seatbelt, maintain a proper following distance, have proper speed – all of those proactive, in-the-cab alerts have really been adopted over the course of the last three years.” Lytx’s technology helps clients drive down risks through a combination of coaching workflows and automated driver self-improvement with machine vision and AI in-cab alerting. The National Safety Council estimated that comparing pre-pandemic 2019 to 2022, the death rate on American roads increased nearly 22%.
