Event Detection Follow

IntelliShift Event Detection for operator safety leverages both the IntelliShift telematics gateway and AI Dash Camera to detect and help mitigate at fault accidents, while identifying risky driving behaviors. When it comes to AI Dash Cam Detection, it is recommended to review IntelliShift's Dash Cam Positioning & Best Practices

Ai Dash Camera Configuration

Ai Dash Camera Configuration empowers its customers to configure their Ai Dash Cameras the way that they want them to be configured, allowing users to set how the Cameras within their fleet will function, deliver an experience within the cab to the operator, and how the sensitivity of an event will trigger. 

Note: Only Supported for Ai Cam 400

General Camera Settings

Providing the ability to control all general functions of the Ai Dash Camera such as handling coaching Settings, Volume, through handling how long the camera records after the assets ignition is turned off

Coaching Settings

• In Cab Coaching: This will Enable / Disable all In Cab Coaching to the Operator in the Asset.
  • Following Distance Warning: This will Enable / Disable just Following Distance Warning for In Cab Coaching to the Operator in the Asset.
  • Forward Collision Warning: This will Enable / Disable just Forward Collision Warning for In Cab Coaching to the Operator in the Asset.
  • Phone Utilization: This will Enable / Disable just Phone Utilization Warning for In Cab Coaching to the Operator in the Asset.
  • Inattentive Driving: This will Enable / Disable just Inattentive Driving Warning for In Cab Coaching to the Operator in the Asset.
  • Potential Collision Detected: This will Enable / Disable just Potential Collision Detected Warning for In Cab Coaching to the Operator in the Asset.
• Speaker Volume: Allows an Organization to adjust the volume at which the operator is Coached. This contains the settings of Low, Medium and High Volume. 

Manually Triggered Video Recording

• Manual Event Capture Button: On the AiCam400, facing the operator within the cab of the asset is a button that allows the operator to record a 10 second clip of Video and upload it to the Intellishift Platform. This will contain 5 seconds of the video prior to the Operator pressing the manual event capture button and 5 seconds after.
  • Enabling: This will allow the operator to engage with the Manual Event Capture Button and Have the Video upload to the IntelliShift Platform
    • Sound: When pressed the operator will hear a chime engage in the cab. No Verbal statements are made to the operator. 
  • Disabling: This will cause video and an event to not upload to the IntelliShift platform when the operator presses the Manual Event Capture Button.

Audio Recording

• In Cab Audio Recording: On the AiCam400, it is provided with a Built in Microphone, allowing organizations to gain insights not only just into the video content as to what is happening in the vehicle and on the road ahead but audible content as well. 
  • Enabling: This will provide in cab audio recording to be provided and uploaded to the Intellishift platform with every video uploaded
  • Disabling: This will disable the in Cab Microphone, while the camera is recording no audio is being recorded to the camera. When video events are uploaded to the Intellishift platform no audio will be available. 

Recording After Ignition Off

• Recording After Ignition Off: Provides the user the ability to record content after the ignition has been turned off. This is useful when an asset has been turned off, and an incident happens shortly after the vehicle has been turned off. For Example: If your asset was involved in a fender bender, and an argument ensues after the operator exists the vehicle to check on the other party involved. This would allow you to bring in the additional context of the incident to ensure that all areas of the incident, pre & post of that incident are covered. 
  • Enable: This will have the camera continue to record after the Ignition has been turned off. 
  • Disable: This will not have the camera continue to record after the Ignition has been turned off. Once the Ignition is turned off, no additional recording will happen and the camera will go to sleep. 
  • Duration: Enables the user with the ability to set how long after the ignition has turned off, that the Ai Camera 400 will record for.
    • 15 Minutes
    • 30 Minutes
    • 45 Minutes
  • Note: The AiCam 400 will record for the specified duration unless the asset's battery voltage drops below 11.8 volts. At this voltage the AiCam400 will stop recording and go in to a sleep state to mitigate further power draw from the asset's battery.

Road Facing Camera Settings 

• Following Distance Warning: Following Distance Warning leverages artificial intelligence to measure your Asset's Class(Class 1-8), Your Asset's Current Speed, and the Distance to the asset in front of you. This Event helps identify when your operator is following too close to another vehicle. 
  • Enable: This will allow the Ai Camera to monitor for Following Distance Thresholds and have the Video upload to the IntelliShift Platform
  • Disable: This will disable the Ai Camera from monitoring for Following Distance Thresholds and no Video will be uploaded to the IntelliShift Platform
  • Sensitivity Level: The sensitivity level is what determines at what thresholds a Following Distance Warning is triggered. 
    • Sensitivity Levels
      •  Low: Reaction Time is less then 1.0 Seconds
      • Medium: Reaction Time is less then 1.1 Seconds
      • High: Reaction Time is less then 1.2 Seconds
  • Duration: The Duration Value, is the specified duration that your operator must be following the vehicle at the specified speed and distance in order for an event to trigger. 
    • Duration Values
      • 5 Seconds
      • 7 Seconds
      • 10 Seconds

Example: I am driving a Vehicle down the Road at 50 mph.
The Sensitivity of my Following Distance Warning is set to Medium
and the distance to the asset in front of me is < 45 Feet Away. 
I maintain this distance & speed for over the specified duration.

• Forward Collision Warning: Forward Collision Warning leverages artificial intelligence to measure your Asset's Class(Class 1-8), Your Asset's Current Speed, and the Distance to the asset in front of you. This Event helps identify when your operator has reached a critical distance to another vehicle which puts the operator in a major risk of an incident.
  • Enable: This will allow the Ai Camera to monitor for Forward Collision Thresholds and have the Video upload to the IntelliShift Platform
  • Disable: This will disable the Ai Camera from monitoring for Forward Collision Thresholds and no Video will be uploaded to the IntelliShift Platform
  • Sensitivity Level: The sensitivity level is what determines at what thresholds a Forward Collision Thresholds is triggered. 
    • Sensitivity Levels

      • Low: Forward Collision Warning Will Trigger with a Reaction Time of 0.3 seconds with a duration of 500 milliseconds.

      • Medium: Forward Collision Warning Will Trigger with a Reaction Time of 0.7 seconds with a duration of 500 milliseconds.

      • High: Forward Collision Warning Will Trigger with a Reaction Time of 0.9 seconds with a duration of 500 milliseconds.

Example: I am driving a Vehicle down the Road at 50 mph.
The Sensitivity of my Forward Collision Warning is set to Medium
and the distance to the asset in front of me is < 22 Feet Away. 
I am within this distance for less the 0.5 Seconds

• Forward Collision Warning & Following Distance Warning Speed: This is the configuration determining the vehicle speed's at which the Artificial Intelligence will be monitoring for Following Distance Warning & Forward Collision Warning. 
  • Speed Thresholds
    • 20 MPH
    • 40 MPH
    • 50 MPH

• Potential Collision Warning: A safety feature designed to automatically capture and upload video footage when the vehicle experiences a sudden, severe change in speed or direction. This is typically indicated by a high g-force reading, suggesting a potential collision. The G-Force Calculation for Potential Collision is a Sum of 2 Axis; the X & Y Axis. The X-axis represents the force acting along the front-to-back direction of an object, while the Y-axis represents the force acting laterally, meaning left to right. 
  • Sensitivity Levels
    • Low: Potential Collision Will Trigger when a vehicle experiences a G-Force greater than 2.0G.
    • Medium: Potential Collision Will Trigger when a vehicle experiences a G-Force greater than 1.5G.
    • High: Potential Collision Will Trigger when a vehicle experiences a G-Force greater than 1.0G.

Example: A Ford F-150 is traveling at 20 mph on a road. Suddenly, the car in front of it brakes abruptly. The F-150 is unable to stop in time and rear-ends the other vehicle, the impact triggering a deceleration of 1.5 G-forces or more.

• Lane Departure Warning: A safety feature designed to automatically capture and upload video footage when the vehicle is driving close to, on or over the road lane markers. The system is designed to alert the driver before the vehicle crosses the lane marking. This means it might activate when the vehicle is still partially within the lane but close to the edge.
  • Sensitivity Levels

    • Low: The vehicle is significantly close to or over the lane marking. Less then 1 inch away, for 6+ seconds

    • Medium: The vehicle is moderately close to or over the lane marking. Less then 3 inches Away, for 6+ seconds

    • High: The vehicle is slightly close to the lane marking. Less then 4 inches away, for 6+ seconds

  • Speed Thresholds
    • 40 MPH
    • 50 MPH
    • 60 MPH

Example: A Ford F-150 is traveling at 65 mph on a highway. 
The Sensitivity of my Lane Departure Warning is set to Low
The Vehicle drifts towards the the right shoulder of the road. 
The F-150 maintains on or over the solid white lane marker for over 6 seconds.

Telematics Event Detection

• Acceleration Events: Acceleration Events are classified as Hard Braking, Rapid Acceleration, Harsh Turning. Accelerations Events are measured using an Accelerometer built in to the IntelliShift Vehicle Gateways. The Accelerometer measures G-Force's on the Gateway and when the G-Force on the gateway exceeds the thresholds, an event will be recorded. 
  • Hard Braking: Hard Braking is deemed as a as a significant deceleration of the vehicle. 
  • Harsh Turning: Harsh Turning is deemed as a significant acceleration force on the left or right of the vehicle. 
  • Rapid Acceleration: Rapid Acceleration is deemed as a as a significant acceleration of the vehicle.
• Summary of G-Forces by Class

• Speeding Events: Speeding Events have two different classifications. There is a defined High Speed Limit Speeding, as well as a Posted Speed Limit Speeding event. The asset's speed within the IntelliShift Platform comes from the vehicles engine(Where Available).
  • High Speed Limit: With Every Motion based Event brought into the IntelliShift platform, IntelliShift platform reviews the speed of the vehicle against the company High speed settings. 
  • Posted Speed Limit: With Every Motion based Event brought into the IntelliShift platform, IntelliShift platform reviews the speed of the vehicle, and then Intellishift will compare the vehicles speed with the road speed limit. If the vehicle's speed is in excess of the road speed, IntelliShift reviews the company Posted Speed Limit Settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Reaction Time?
  • Reaction Time is a metric used to calculate the reaction and stop time of your vehicle. This metric is calculated based on the class of your vehicle, the speed that your asset is traveling, and the distance to a vehicle in front of you. 
• What is a G-Force?
  • It is the Measurement of Acceleration or Deceleration on an asset. Lets say that a vehicle is traveling down the road at 60 mph. The vehicle in front of them come to a sudden halt. Your vehicle decreases its speed from 60 mph to 0 mph in 3 seconds. This deceleration would cause the operator to experience 0.91 G
