RAC Connected enhanced with AI-powered safety features
The RAC has added AI-powered safety features to its telematics solution for fleet management, RAC Connected.
It has partnered with CalAmp to improve its telematics platform with the option to add AI-powered video safety features and automated crash detection.
The expanded platform will help fleets improve safety, respond faster to incidents, and gain clearer operational insight.
RAC head of telematics and connected solutions Geraint Jones said: “Our business customers rely on us to help them run safer, more efficient fleets. RAC Connected helps businesses protect their drivers, reduce risk, and manage costs, without adding complexity.
“By working with CalAmp, we’ve strengthened the platform behind the scenes so our customers can focus on running their business.”
Paul Washicko, senior vice president and general manager of Telematics Solutions at CalAmp, added:
“The RAC has earned the trust of motorists and fleet operators by focusing on what matters most to customers. Our role is to support that experience behind the scenes, with flexible technology that enables the RAC to deliver safer driving, faster incident response, and clearer insight for business customers.”
New features include:
- Real-time fleet visibility with vehicle location, trip history, geofencing, and utilisation insights to support dispatch, routing, and asset planning.
- Driver-behaviour insights with configurable alerts and coaching workflows to help reduce risk and support safer driving.
- Automated crash detection and incident alerts, supported by CalAmp’s CrashBoxx AI technology, to enable faster damage assessment, response, and follow-up.
- Configurable reporting and administrative controls to support fleets of different sizes and operating models.
- AI-powered video dashcams providing dual-facing video, in-cab alerts, and organised clips to support incident review and driver coaching.
