The Lytx company, maker of the DriveCam driver- and road-facing camera system and monitoring service, introduced its new ActiveVision system, touting it as a “quantum leap in fleet safety.”

Combined with the company’s DriveCam Safety Program, ActiveVision introduces the ability to monitor following distance and lane keeping, providing audible and visual in-cab warnings to “help drivers change unsafe driving behaviors as they happen on the road.”

Lytx new ER-SV2 event recorder, which enables the ActiveVision system, will be available to everyone in 2016. Until then, the company says, the system is available to fleets using the DriveCam system today.Lytx new ER-SV2 event recorder, which enables the ActiveVision system, will be available to everyone in 2016.

As the technology evolves, the company says, it may be able to capture even more “behaviors,” such as what it calls “fitness to lane,” how well the driver stays within his/her lane, and provide forward collision warnings.

The system, company representative notes, is essentially the base DriveCam dual camera system with an upgrade on top with a proprietary mix of sensors and algorithms. The company differentiates ActiveVision from similar so-called “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems” by pointing to the post-even coaching cameras in the base DriveCam system enable.
