Happy new year from the Transpoco team! We hope you made the most out of the holiday season and are ready to start a new year full of optimism: we all wish 2021 is going to treat us all better than 2020. To start on the right foot, here is some food for thought with the best articles of 2020:
1. COVID-19 driver's checklist: what you need to know before you go - in this article we shared some best practices to ensure the safety of both drivers, customers and general public, aimed at avoiding the spread of the virus. We need to continue with this for now, but hopefully not for the whole year as vaccines are on their way.
2. How distracted are your drivers? - We all know (or should know) what best practices should be while driving: focusing on the road ahead of us, not daydreaming and not engaging in activities that take away our attention on our main task. Despite this being very clear for everyone and especially more for those who work in the sector, research still shows people tend to get distracted while behind the wheel. Our article deals with some eye-opening statistics on distracted driving.
3. AI powered anti collision system reduces fatigue related accidents - this article made public our new groundbreaking collision management system that uses cameras with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect driver fatigue and distraction providing for a comprehensive approach to the reduction of accidents. With research showing that up to 40% of collisions occur as a result of driver fatigue, the technology is being welcomed by companies and organisations operating large fleets of vehicles who are looking to improve driver safety and reduce the cost associated with accidents.
4. Which fleet management trends will 2021 hold? - 2020 has surely been a year like no other, but some of the things that made it different have somehow paved the way for 2021 and future trends: our article fully deals with them.
