Durite chose this year’s Road Transport Expo (RTX) to unveil its new AI-powered fleet management platform, designed to help operators improve safety, reduce risk and gain greater visibility of fleet performance.

The Durite Live AI platform combines live vehicle tracking, AI-enabled video telematics, driver behaviour monitoring and fleet analytics in a single system.

Using artificial intelligence to analyse driver behaviour and journey data in real time, the platform identifies potential risks, prioritises alerts and delivers personalised driver coaching aimed at helping prevent incidents and improve operational efficiency.

The system also includes privacy features such as automatic face pixelation and image blurring to support operators’ GDPR compliance while retaining the evidential value of recorded footage.

Launched during RTX last week, the platform integrates with Durite’s wider portfolio of vehicle safety technologies, including driver monitoring systems, wireless AI camera kits, camera monitoring systems and its AI Low Bridge Detection System, which debuted at last year’s RTX.

According to Durite, visitors to its stand showed particular interest in features including AI Risk Detection, Driver Monitoring, First Notice of Loss (FNOL) reporting and the platform’s integrated 24/7 AI assistant.

Durite’s AI Low Bridge Detection System continued to attract strong attention following its introduction at last year’s show, while live demonstrations of the company’s HINVII TM - powered Warning Light in a purpose-built dark room highlighted its effectiveness in improving worker and vehicle visibility, as well as enhancing hazard awareness in demanding operating environments. 

Sales director John Nobbs said: “We were delighted with the quality of visitors to the stand.

“Road Transport Expo provided the ideal platform to introduce Durite Live AI to the market and the response exceeded our expectations.

“We spoke to operators managing everything from HGV and van fleets through to specialist construction, utility and recovery vehicles, all looking for practical ways to improve safety, reduce risk and gain better operational visibility.”

He added that the exhibition had attracted a broad mix of fleet operators. 

“We met organisations at every stage of their fleet technology journey, from operators looking to introduce AI for the first time to those seeking a more integrated approach to fleet safety and operational management.

“The level of engagement reinforces the growing recognition that connected technologies can deliver significant benefits across compliance, driver welfare, operational efficiency and risk management.”

Durite said interest in the platform reflected growing demand from operators for connected technologies that bring together compliance, driver safety and fleet management in a single system.
