01 Tipping point: Setting the stage for smarter waste management
The role of cameras in protecting your bottom line
When combined with comprehensive fleet data, all of these augmentations weave a proactive safety net for your waste operations that dramatically reduces risk. Create a safer operating environment for both your waste management personnel and the public by integrating cameras with your telematics solution. For example, Geotab works flawlessly with a multitude of popular vehicle camera solutions. This makes it easy to simply expand on your fleet’s current capabilities without totally abandoning any existing technology investments you might have. Video telematics integrations enable you to add AI dash cams to your garbage trucks and review key video insights from the MyGeotab dashboard. If a collision were to occur, impartial footage can help identify the cause of the incident and potentially exonerate your drivers, if false claims are made. Given these critical ways that

Keeping trucks ticking: Maximizing garbage fleet longevity Reducing waste in your waste operations: From routing to right-sizing Fueling efficiency: Slashing costs and emissions in your waste collection fleet Clean record, clean streets: Avoiding legal landfills from liability and risk
While driving behavior data is essential for risk reduction, it doesn’t tell the story of what other drivers on the road (or pedestrians) might be doing. This is where video telematics comes in. Cameras that are able to provide a 360-degree view can play a vital role in mitigating risk by capturing all activities that occur around your garbage trucks. Beyond just simple recording, 360-degree cameras’ value extends to other key operational categories. By offering comprehensive visual coverage, these systems quickly prove liability in collisions, helping to: • Safeguard your organization against fraudulent or exaggerated insurance claims • Facilitate rapid complaint resolution

The last stop: Moving toward a leaner, more efficient waste management fleet
Augmentations like blind spot and cyclist detection, in-cab driver aid and AI-enabled cameras can additionally help your solid waste organization drive down safety and liability risks.
AI-enabled cameras : Cameras with AI
In-cab driver assistance : Supply drivers with real- time video feeds from all cameras mounted around the vehicle to eliminate blind spots and facilitate precise maneuvering in tight spaces. In-cab aid equips drivers with a more complete visual understanding of their surroundings.
Blind spot and cyclist detection : These systems use advanced sensors to identify vehicles and vulnerable road users, such as cyclists, within the vehicle's blind spots. They provide timely audible and visual alerts, helping

continuously analyze road conditions to detect hazards like lane departures, sudden braking of other vehicles or pedestrian crossings. The AI-enabled capabilities of these cameras can help detect and avoid potential collisions with both vehicles and civilians faster than human reaction times can.
Video telematics solutions can help in achieving a:
50% reduction in vehicle damage
40% decrease in claims costs
50% drop in road collisions
24% decrease in frequency of claims
