KORE’s In-Vehicle Video solution has been awarded winner of the Connected Car Product of the Year in the ninth annual IoT Breakthrough Awards programme conducted by IoT Breakthrough.
KORE In-Vehicle Video (IVV) comprises IoT dash cams and supports AI technology, as well as leveraging the latest in high-quality video technologies to improve driver behaviour and increase driver productivity.
KORE IVV also empowers organisations to establish accident fault and facilitate timely and effective driver coaching via a centralised platform that tracks and visually monitors the fleet. Continuous video streams are captured for vehicles with live streaming from multiple cameras at once with infrared sensors for night vision, and event-based video snapshots are captured when triggered on a vehicle’s route. Videos can also be accessed remotely to either stream or download without having to physically access the vehicle.
The platform’s AI feature can monitor fatigue as well as distracting behaviours such as texting while driving, smoking, and cellphone usage, and alerts are sent out to headquarters upon detection. These alerts can then be used to coach drivers enabling them to make better, safer choices while operating company vehicles. Proof of an in-vehicle video system helps to reduce collision frequency and, as a result, insurance costs. KORE’s video-enabled safety features reduce the risk of an at-fault accident. Fleet managers can also measure how vehicles are being used and how drivers are performing against contextual data to plan targeted training.
“It’s an honour to receive this award from IoT Breakthrough, especially with all the work our team has put into developing solutions that fit the needs of fleets of all sizes. Our technology was built to help our customers improve driver behaviour, reduce insurance costs, and enhance the safety of their fleets,” said Ron Totton, President and CEO of KORE. “KORE’s In-Vehicle Video Solution also comes with connectivity offerings, and a full support team to help our customers defend innocent drivers, potentially reduce insurance premiums, and accelerate the insurance claims process with high-definition video evidence.”
The aim of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis of the global Internet-of-Things industry and then recognise the ‘breakthrough’ innovators, leaders and visionaries in a broad range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, IoT Security, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Car, and more.
“KORE is helping to save both lives and money. The annual accident rate for commercial fleets is approximately 20%, meaning one in five vehicles will be part of a collision, compromising safety and crippling businesses financially. Though in-vehicle video can help, adopting it has been a challenge due to the demands of multiple systems and requirements,” added Steve Johansson, Managing Director, IoT Breakthrough. “KORE IVV leverages the latest technology to improve driver behavior, increase productivity as well as empower organisations to establish accident fault and facilitate effective driver coaching. We’re so pleased to recognise KORE with the ‘Connected Car Product of the Year’ award!”
