Video telematics is the future of last mile safety For last mile operators across the EU and the UK, AI-powered video telematics is becoming integral to fleet safety management. The introduction of mandatory ADDW systems through GSR2 suggests that safety regulation is moving towards greater use of camera-based technologies to reduce road risk and support safer driving behaviours. When implementing a video telematics system, fleets must navigate legitimate concerns around privacy, workplace monitoring, and the responsible use of AI. European organisations are expected to demonstrate that any deployment is proportionate, transparent, and designed with clear safeguards around data collection and usage. The question for fleet operators is therefore not whether to deploy these systems, but how to do so in a way that instils drivers’ trust and enhances safety, while ensuring legal compliance. The best video telematics systems provide fleets with far more than collision footage. In-cab guidance helps drivers recognise and self-correct high-risk behaviours before incidents occur, while event-based video footage gives safety managers critical context for constructive driver coaching. Just as importantly, video evidence can help exonerate drivers involved in non-fault collisions, protect their livelihoods, reduce disputes, and help fleets manage insurance claims processes more effectively. Geotab’s video telematics solutions go beyond mere compliance to help fleets actively manage safety and ensure persistent improvement. Through configurable AI-powered verbal alerts, event-based recording integrated with rich telematics data, and a privacy-focused architecture, fleets can integrate video telematics into their safety programmes in a workable manner that supports the development of an enduring culture of safety. Geotab offers the expertise needed to navigate the European legislative landscape, the collaborative framework to support your drivers and unions, and the technical assistance to ensure your programme is a success.
