The Advanced Safe Truck Concept project: a partnership program developing future integrated driver monitoring technology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Road safety and road transport sectors acknowledge the need to address heavy vehicle safety, both in terms of reducing the number of crashes and the flow-on impacts on productivity. Advances in technology now enable transport operators to strengthen their ability to measure and monitor in-cab driver performance in real-time as a way of complementing existing company safety policies and further ensuring they meet OHS requirements. This paper outlines a new Australian commonwealth-funded program, the Advanced Safe Truck Concept project, led by Seeing Machines in collaboration with the Monash University Accident Research Centre, Ron Finemore Transport and Volvo Group Australia. This program aims to better understand the real-world risks faced by trucking operations and their drivers, and then through this high-quality research to generate new technological solutions.
