Detroit launched a digital service that records safety events, such as active braking, roll stability events and other various events.
The Detroit Connect Video Capture (DCVC) service is available as a subscription-based option in the Detroit Connect Portal. It provides actual video footage of events when they occur on the road or at a jobsite.
The safety-reporting feature includes:
Forward-facing video capture solution using Detroit Assurance MPC2 camera
Critical event videos displayed in Detroit Connect portal when safety events occur
A video recording surrounding a 30-second safety event
Critical truck information, such as speed and braking profile, is shown alongside video
Location of safety events displayed on a map view
Summary of events displayed on dashboard
Event trends and diagnostics
Filtered functionality of video recordings
Fleet summary view
Video commenting and tagging capabilities by fleet
DCVC is available to customers for order when new trucks are spec’d. Subscriptions are offered in one-, three- or five-year terms.
Detroit Connect now offers three safety services as a supplement to the Detroit Assurance safety system. Safety Event Viewer is a standard service for vehicles, while Safety Analytics is an optional feature providing more in-depth data insights.
