AI-powered risk management tool by Powerfleet for enhancing road safety among drivers
Powerfleet Launches AI-Powered Risk Intervention Application
Powerfleet, a leading provider of wireless Internet-of-Things (IoT) asset management solutions, has entered the rapidly growing AI video market with the launch of an automated AI risk intervention application. This new module, integrated into the Unity ecosystem, is designed to address the underserved gap in real-time risk management within the fleet industry.
The application utilises advanced AI processing on both the edge and cloud to detect risky patterns such as fatigue, distraction, and aggressive driving. It provides a dynamic driver risk assessment, smart escalation alerts, live video + two-way comms, and can reduce video review by up to 80%.
The global AI video market is projected to reach approximately USD 30.50 billion by 2032, growing at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 30.4% during the forecast period. Sub-segments like the cloud-based AI video platforms are expected to dominate, with revenues reaching around USD 15.15 billion by 2032, due to rising demand for scalable and flexible video processing solutions.
Powerfleet's new AI-powered application offers customers a new layer of operational control, insurance liability reduction, and measurable ROI in safety outcomes and uptime. Quantifiable safety gains, including reductions in collision rates, distracted driving, and Vehicle Off Road (VOR) time, have been recorded.
The application also helps lower insurance costs and speeds up claims resolution through enhanced event clarity and real-time evidence. These features are particularly valuable given the increasing ESG and regulatory pressures demanding proactive safety and compliance solutions.
Steve Towe, from Powerfleet, stated that the new module expands the value proposition into an underserved area of the market. For investors, this new AI application signals a bold step in bringing Powerfleet's AI innovation roadmap to market.
