Humanising Autonomy Together for Safer Roads' Truck of the Future

Humanising Autonomy has been awarded Together for Safer Roads' Truck of the Future initiative, a road safety initiative that includes some of the world’s largest fleets.

Blind zones are a major contributing factor for truck crashes: about one-quarter of all truck-related deaths in the U.S. are due to vision-related, low-speed maneuvers and international research has found that driver visibility is related to over one-third of truck crashes with vulnerable road users.

Humanising Autonomy will use its computer vision and behavior AI technology to add a nuanced understanding of VRU (vulnerable road user) behavior to fleets. The software will help improve fleet driver visibility and reaction times, making roads safer for vulnerable users. This announcement is especially meaningful following the UN Global Road Safety Week , as the Truck of the Future program is intended to improve fleet safety through cutting edge technology and ultimately, save lives.

Working with integration partners Streamax and VisionTrack , Humanising Autonomy's deployments will start this year with Anheuser-Busch InBev, Republic Services and NYC DCAS in the New York Metro Area, as well as Guadalajara, Mexico.

It is yet another example of the massive traction Humanising Autonomy are seeing with the video telematics market for immediately applicable use cases.
