SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS 2019 Mobileye Vision Technologies Mobileye: Providing Drivers with Life-Saving Seconds O n the road, just a few seconds can make the difference between life and death. According to a report published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in conjunction with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), 80 percent of collisions and 65 percent of near-collisions involve some form of driver distraction in the last three seconds before the accident. Just a moment of inattention can make all the difference. But, what if we could grab drivers’ attention at these critical times, buying back that precious moment before a collision occurs? That is what Mobileye’s collision avoidance system does. The retrofit solution helps refocus drivers’ attention in real-time - when they are too close to the vehicle in front of them, are unintentionally drifting into another lane, or when potential dangers such as cyclist or pedestrians move into their path. For enhanced analysis capability, aggregated data can be easily exported to a third-party telematics or fleet management systems, providing greater fleet visibility and insights into driver behaviour. Local clients showing great results: Zero collisions is a big claim to make. Yet, this is the actual result which we have seen in a 60-vehicle pilot with Winslow Construction Group, Australia. ‘The numbers of accidents of Winslow vehicles on the roads were increasing but since the Mobileye program began there have been zero collisions with equipped vehicles. The system also had a positive effect on driver behaviour - “While the drivers of Mobileye-equipped vehicles needed a little time to adjust to the alerts... they were soon practicing safer driving habits.”’ Winslow Constructors Australia ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia (CDC), which operates public transport across VIC and NSW, remains at the forefront of safety innovation by introducing Mobileye to its fleet. “...with 90% of all Australian crashes caused by minor mistakes such as distraction, fatigue or being slightly above the speed limit, the installation of Mobileye across the fleet of CDC Victoria and CDC NSW aims to minimise at-fault incidents, prevent collisions and injuries, and potentially save lives.” ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia.
