Aeroport Taxi & Limousine Services, a large fleet management company in Ontario, Canada, was facing significant challenges in managing driver safety and liability across its fleet of over 3,000 vehicles and drivers. The company's previous dash cam vendor had limitations that didn't meet their needs. The footage was automatically overwritten once the dash cam's memory card reached capacity, making it difficult to investigate incidents and refute false claims. Additionally, the lack of in-cab alerts meant that drivers could only be coached after an incident had already occurred. This lack of real-time feedback and visibility into incidents put Aeroport at risk for false claims and increased insurance costs. Aeroport needed a solution that could provide real-time feedback for drivers and better visibility into incidents to improve safety and protect their business.

Aeroport overhauled their safety program with Samsara’s video-based safety solution. Samsara AI Dash Cams were installed in the vehicles assigned to drivers in Aeroport's Fleet Program. These dash cams provided reliable, on-demand video retrieval, enabling Aeroport to investigate incidents with ease and protect drivers from false claims. The extended visibility in the cloud allowed Aeroport to coach drivers using video-based coaching. Samsara’s cloud-based video retrieval system eliminated the need for handling memory cards, as video data was uploaded to the cloud within a few minutes. In addition, Samsara's In-Cab Alerts helped drivers self-correct risky behaviors and became the cornerstone of Aeroport’s proactive safety program. These alerts provided drivers with real-time feedback on the road, helping to prevent incidents and improve driver behavior.
