Digital Solutions for Road Safety: State & Business

Hardware Solutions and Telematics: A Balance Between Culture and Technology

In discussions about road safety, the topic of driving culture and the human factor often dominates. However, modern realities of fleet management require a reliable technological foundation. In her presentation, Yulia Egorova shifts the focus to hardware and digitalization, analyzing in detail how hardware systems help control transport risks. The speaker analyzes two parallel vectors of telematics development: strict government regulation requirements and internal business needs for optimization and safety.

State Control: From Emergency Buttons to Online Tachographs

The state approach to equipping vehicles is based on risk categorization: the higher the potential danger from a specific type of transport, the stricter the requirements for its monitoring. The presentation details the architecture of state control systems:

• Emergency Call Devices (UVEOS) and ASN: The basic level of life safety provision with data transmission to the ERA-GLONASS state system. Satellite navigation equipment (ASN) is becoming mandatory for passenger transport, timber trucks, garbage trucks, and vehicles carrying dangerous goods, providing continuous route monitoring.
• Evolution of Tachographs: The transition to online tachographs in the coming years will change the principle of controlling work and rest schedules. Instead of constantly transmitting the track, the system will record and send data only at the moment of a violation.
• Driver Performance Monitoring: The speaker analyzes promising legislative initiatives that allow flexible management of travel time. If a driver uses in-cabin video analytics or wearable devices (bracelets) to confirm a normal physical condition, this can become a legitimate basis for extending the shift.

Integration: How to Combine Regulator Requirements and Business Goals

Business is rarely limited only to state-imposed systems. For companies, the priority is reducing accident rates, protecting reputation, and reducing losses from traffic accidents. Therefore, corporate fleets implement safe driving control systems, in-cabin video analytics, and special equipment operation sensors.

The key problem highlighted by the speaker is data fragmentation. The use of disparate systems leads to dispatchers and HSE specialists having to work in multiple windows and consolidate data in Excel spreadsheets. The solution is deep integration: basic monitoring information from mandatory devices (e.g., ASN) can be routed to a corporate telematics platform. This allows creating a single digital environment for making management decisions without duplicating equipment.

Algorithm for Implementing Control Systems

The technical equipment of a fleet does not provide an instant reduction in accident rates without proper work with personnel. The speaker shows a classic adaptation cycle using the example of implementing in-cabin analytics:

• Establishing a Baseline: The system is installed in a hidden monitoring mode for an objective assessment of the current driving style without applying sanctions.
• Information and Training: Drivers are explained the principles of the system's operation, evaluation criteria, and expected changes in safety standards.
• Monitoring Improvements: Transition to the active control phase with regular analysis of violation dynamics and correction of driver behavior.
