FlixBus, a global mobility provider for convenient and affordable travel, is using Webfleet’s video telematics solution to make Europe’s largest long-distance bus network even safer.
The AI-based solution from Europe’s number one fleet management provider combines vehicle and trip data with machine vision and artificial intelligence-based camera technology. In this way, FlixBus has a complete overview of how the fleet is performing on the road.
The installed solution, which meets the highest standards of data privacy, helps to avoid dangerous situations, and prevent accidents. By promoting more defensive driving, FlixBus is helping protect drivers, passengers and other road users, as well as reducing their own CO2 emissions.
“For bus companies, road safety is an essential part of their everyday work,” explained Wolfgang Schmid, Webfleet Head of Central Region.
“One approach to protecting passengers, drivers and vehicles from the consequences of road accidents is the use of AI and video-based solutions such as Webfleet. AI warning systems can improve driving safety and reduce the risk of accidents in bus fleets.
“They effectively help protect drivers from accidents and false accusations while increasing the profitability of their own vehicles. For example, video solutions using artificial intelligence are now able to detect various types of unsafe driving behaviour and warn drivers so that they can correct their behaviour immediately. Video evidence also helps to clarify liability in the event of accidents or damage.”
Andy Breitsprecher, Operations Manager at Flixbus DACH GmbH, said: “Webfleet Video helps us to protect our drivers, passengers and other road users. The dashcam as a digital ‘co-driver’ supports our bus drivers to drive more defensively and therefore more safely.”
