WORLD-LEADING DRIVER FATIGUE AND DISTRACTION TECHNOLOGY

Protect your fleet with Guardian

Your people drive your business

Protect your most important asset with Guardian

Professional driving can be a dangerous occupation, with fatigue and distraction being two of the greatest risks on the road.

Powered by Seeing Machines’ automotive-grade technology, Guardian is an industry-leading driver fatigue, distraction and accident prevention solution.  

Fatalities in crashes involving heavy trucks increased by 6.8% over the last 12 months1.

Truck drivers are 13x more likely to die at work than other Australians, and 4x more likely to get injured2.

More than 60% of drivers experience fatigue and 1 in 10 admitted to falling asleep while driving2. 

Driver distraction continues to increase year-on-year and is the cause of almost 1 in 6 large (>50k) losses3.

When it comes to mitigating the risks of fatigue and distraction for your drivers, understanding the trends over time is invaluable. For example, do you know what time of day drivers are at the highest risk of fatigue? Or what day of the week drivers are most distracted?

Don't wait
until it's too late

To protect your drivers and prevent accidents, real-time intervention is key. That’s why Seeing Machines combines our industry-leading in-cabin driver safety technology with 24/7 human monitoring in our Guardian Centre.

Our team of highly trained analysts literally work around the clock to review and classify every single risky driving incident captured by Guardian. Committed to getting everyone home safely, the Guardian Centre analysts then notify you within minutes of a confirmed fatigue event, so you can intervene and protect your drivers, your way.

Human Factors meets human intervention 

What makes the Guardian solution unique is combining our automotive grade safety technology, driven by decades of Human Factors research, with monitoring and intervention by real humans.

In fact, the human intervention aspect of Guardian is scientifically proven to reduce an additional 40% of fatigue related driving events relative to in-cabin alerts only. These alerts can reduce events by around 66%, which is great, but this jumps to 90%+ with real-time management.

That’s the difference that truly saves lives.

Compliance is critical

The majority of enterprise fleets already use Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) to mitigate the risks associated with driver fatigue and distraction. In fact, it's rapidly becoming an industry requirement.

Many large businesses now require a DMS like Guardian to be installed, not just in their vehicles, but those of subcontractors. It can help you comply with Chain of Responsibility (CoR) law and supports many of the advanced fatigue management standards outlined by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).

What’s more, this technology is already being mandated globally. For example, Europe’s new Vehicle General Safety Regulation requires all road vehicles from July 2022 to be equipped with new safety features, including an "attention warning" in case of driver drowsiness. It is only a matter of time before Australia and New Zealand catch up, so why wait to protect and futureproof your fleet?

Truck accident

Save lives, and money

Investing in new technology may seem like a daunting and costly exercise, but consider the potential alternative. 

The direct costs of an accident can include property and damages, driver injury and medical expenses, legal outlays, immediate loss of revenue and administrative costs. An accident can also incur significant indirect costs, from workforce to equipment expenses and reputational damage.

Guardian can mitigate risk, save lives and protect your business. 

Plus, installing Guardian brings tax benefits and insurance incentives, for example premium adjustments and excess reduction.

At the end of the day, can your fleet afford not to have Guardian? 

Data analysis

Data-driven safety

The Guardian Live web platform stores data and video of fatigue and distraction events, providing fleet managers secure access to view this information, 24/7. 

The comprehensive, near real-time driver and vehicle data can be used to understand situations as they evolve, and support compliance and reporting requirements. 

The insights available through Guardian Live can also enable your business to improve driver training, education and safety programs and identify operational improvements that help keep your drivers and other road users safe.
