American Trucking Associations (ATA) announced Seeing Machines, a leading developer and supplier of face and eye tracking software, became the newest member to the ATA Featured Product provider program.
“Artificial intelligence and advanced sensing algorithms have created an innovative way to monitor a driver’s attentiveness levels while on the road. Drivers can benefit greatly from being able to detect fatigue and prevent potential accidents, which could lead to significant safety improvements in the trucking industry,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “Seeing Machines is one of the leaders in this space, and we are excited to welcome them as ATA Featured Product providers who share our safety mission.”
Guardian by Seeing Machines is a sophisticated real-time accident prevention technology, using advanced eye and face tracking software to detect driver fatigue and distraction and provide immediate intervention through in-cab audio and vibration alerts. There are three key features that make Guardian a truly powerful solution: real-time in-cab detection and alerts, 24/7 support monitoring and extensive data analysis and continuous improvement of customer safety policy. These pillars dramatically reduce the risk of life-threatening incidents and help mitigate the emotional and financial costs that go with them.
“American Trucking Associations is a leading advocate for the U.S. trucking industry, and Seeing Machines is proud to work with the ATA to make roads safer for all truck drivers and other road users,” said Seeing Machines COO Paul Angelatos. “As an ATA Featured Product provider, this relationship is key to protecting drivers from the onset of fatigue and distraction.”
Efforts to reduce distraction and fatigue among truck drivers and the general motoring public are strategic priorities for ATA. By educating the motoring public about the dangers of distracted driving through ATA’s Image and Outreach programs, or introducing legislators and regulators to key ideas to improve road safety, ATA continues to seek meaningful solutions to reducing highway accidents.
