Challenge	Eurovia USA, a company with a fleet of over 2,000 vehicles engaged in roadway maintenance, faced a significant challenge in ensuring the safety of their drivers. The company suspected that unsafe in-cab activities, particularly mobile usage, were leading to an increase in incidents. Additionally, they needed to ensure that seatbelts were being worn consistently to protect drivers from potential injuries. However, without visibility into the cab, Eurovia USA was unable to identify the causes of safety incidents or risky behaviors. They were in need of a proactive safety solution that could improve in-cab visibility, provide real-time feedback for risky behaviors, and empower drivers to improve their habits on the road before an incident occurred.

Solution	Eurovia USA adopted Samsara's video-based safety solution to address their safety concerns. This solution included dual-facing AI Dash Cams that brought artificial intelligence into the cab to help drivers self-correct behaviors such as mobile usage and seatbelt usage, thereby preventing incidents before they happened. The solution used AI and computer vision to automatically detect when a driver was holding a mobile phone while driving or not wearing a seatbelt at the start of a trip. These features delivered optional in-cab alerts to help drivers self-correct their behavior in real-time. High-definition event footage was automatically uploaded to the Samsara dashboard for managers to review and coach drivers. This proactive approach to driver safety allowed Eurovia USA to identify and alert when risky behaviors occurred, empowering their drivers to improve their habits on the road.
