Centrad unveils Drivers Guardian monitoring system

Centrad, a leading name in vehicle CCTV and telematics in the UK, has launched Drivers Guardian. The product features a driver-facing camera system and leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and analyse potentially dangerous driving behaviours.

The Drivers Guardian system is designed to detect a range of unsafe actions such as drowsy driving, mobile phone usage, not wearing a seatbelt, and other forms of distracted driving. On identifying such behaviours, the system issues audible safety warnings to the driver.

Fleet managers are given the added advantage of receiving real-time alerts about incidents. They also have access to historical driving footage, which can be used to improve driver behaviour and encourage adherence to best practices.

Geoff Cross, Managing Director of Centrad, comments on the launch: “Our new Drivers Guardian system enables operators to proactively prevent accidents by safeguarding against avoidable incidents. Sadly, the vast majority of incidents that are attributed to either fatigue or distracted driving are entirely preventable. These are some of the leading causes of accidents on UK roads, and as such further headway needs to be made to drive down incidents.”

Mr Cross highlights the urgent need for such technology in the current driving landscape: “An extra layer of protection is necessary to safeguard not only drivers but other road users as well. This is how the concept of Drivers Guardian was born. Our mission was to create a cutting-edge system that merged the most enhanced form of vehicle CCTV systems with AI to give operators a high-tech solution that focuses on accident prevention as well as evidence collection.

“With distracted driving on the rise, legislation tightening and driving penalties becoming more severe, drivers today have never been more in the spotlight. Therefore, providing that extra layer of protection not only keeps fellow road users safe, but also ensures the security and wellbeing for both drivers and their vehicle.”

The system can operate independently or integrate with Centrad’s range of Mobile DVRs, providing up to 360-degree vehicle coverage and support for 11 additional cameras.

Mr Cross concludes by emphasising the product’s potential impact: “We predict Drivers Guardian will become a vital component to a fleet operator’s risk mitigation strategy and will furthermore pave the way to ensuring road incidents as a result of distracted or fatigued driving become extinct.”

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
