The benefits that come from using Video Telematics for Quavatel include
1. Driver Monitoring: 

With the help of real-time video footage, our fleet manager can monitor a driver’s behaviour throughout a single trip or across multiple trips to identify any potential “risky” behaviour, which includes harsh acceleration, abrupt braking, or texting while driving. The same technology is utilized to assist drivers in the event of a hijacking by being able to provide fast-acting support and notify drivers of issues in or around the vehicle during transit.

2. Incident Reporting: 

Video footage captured is utilized to gain insights into any event, providing enough information to determine what happened, how the accident occurred, and who was at fault. This can help exonerate drivers falsely accused of causing an accident, identify potential areas of fraud or theft, and safeguard the company’s reputation from being damaged.

3. Route Planning: 

With the help of video telematics data, implementation of route planning strategies helps reduce fuel consumption, mitigate risks associated with high-crime areas, set up “no-go” zones, and improve overall operational efficiency.

4. Vehicle Maintenance: Video telematics data inform our fleet manager about the health of a vehicle. This allows for the Quavatel to take a proactive approach when it comes to scheduling vehicle maintenance, reducing downtime costs associated with vehicle breakdowns.

5. Create targeted training programmes
Quavatel’s fleet managers utilize video telematics data to identify areas of improvement when it comes to poor driver behaviour and help provide more targeted training to resolve those issues This type of training helps bolster driver’s confidence and improve their skill set.

6. Ensure operational compliance and uphold industry regulations
Every industry has a set of unique compliance rules regulations and standards that need to be followed and hence Quavatel’s Fleet manager monitors the video telematics data received, to ensure drivers and other employees adhere to the industry’s compliance with its regulations and standards. This is vital, especially when referring to the industry’s strict safety and operational requirements of the company.

Conclusion

Fleet Video Monitoring gives context to the whole picture of driver and vehicle safety and places Quavatel Limited as one of the first Telecommunication companies to use Video Telematics for their fleet system to enhance road safety.
