MiX Telematics’ latest solutions are electric and hydrogen vehicles reporting, low bridge warning functionality, a new Video telematics solution including Artificial Intelligence and updated Driver feedback device.
MiX’s EV reporting consists of vehicle diagnostic reporting features for electric and hydrogen vehicles. Whether the vehicle is diesel, electric, hydrogen, CNG or other alternative fuels, MiX can benchmark existing historic data, against the new fuels to show the tangible benefits and the areas where training or vehicle replacements are required or would be beneficial.
Low bridge warning functionality sends real-time notifications to drivers when they are approaching a bridge that’s too low to safely navigate or pass. Notifications start as amber when the driver is still approaching the bridge and when they are within a certain distance and have not corrected their route, a red warning is sent to the driver and a score is added to the driver’s score card, then audio and visual alerts, end-of-trip RAG score summary when the ignition is turned off and vehicle diagnostics data.
MiX Vision AI is a dash cam solution that uses machine learning technology to monitor and record visual evidence of risky driving behaviour to prevent crashes and, should a crash occur, it assists in determining which events led up to the crash for preventative purposes, providing a bird’s eye view of activities inside the vehicle and on the road by tracking driver fatigue, distraction, phone use while driving, lane departure, too-close following distance, speeding, harsh braking and harsh acceleration. Should unsafe behaviours occur, the driver is alerted in real-time to self-correct.
MiX Rovi Mini solution includes both audio and visual alerts, amber and red warnings on RIBAS events including over-revving, excessive idling, harsh braking, harsh acceleration and speeding, an end-of-trip summary of the driver’s RAG score when the ignition is turned off,
Why is exhibiting at Euro Bus Expo 2022 an unmissable opportunity for you?
Being part of a leading exhibition allows us to showcase our latest solutions to those who operate within the Bus and Coach industry to help them improve their fleet management. We believe that what we have to offer has features and capabilities that will make it infinitely easier for them to have a safer, more sustainable fleet.
By exhibiting at Euro Bus Expo, MiX Telematics can meet face to face with a variety of individuals and company representatives, something that has not recently been possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will be able to reconnect and network with people in a more personal way to get to know their needs so that we understand exactly how to provide them with the best possible outcome, receive a return on investment and overcome any challenges they may be currently facing. MiX Telematics is also excited about utilising the Euro Bus Expo to showcase how our telematics technology can help fleets reduce their safety risk and achieve their green goals.
