Lytx Reports Summer of 2020’s Top 5 Most Common Risky Driving Behaviors

Lytx, a provider of machine vision and artificial intelligence (MV+AI)-powered video telematics safety and productivity solutions for commercial, public sector, and service fleets, experienced a record-breaking summer in terms of the video data it captured, processed, and delivered to empower drivers and clients.

Throughout June, July, and August, Lytx processed more than 15 million driving events captured by its MV+AI-powered DriveCam Event Recorders.

With each new video clip reviewed and processed, Lytx's AI algorithms become more nuanced and accurate in identifying high-risk driving behaviors in real-time. More than 160,000 new driving events are captured every 24 hours

This MV+AI triggers in-cab alerts that allow drivers to recognize their own risky driving habits and self-correct in the moment. This results in drivers taking greater accountability over improving their safety and compliance, while immediately reducing risk. For events that require additional coaching or drivers who may require further attention, Lytx offers a solution for driver self-coaching, engaging with their managers remotely, or reviewing events together in person. Lytx clients coached 3 million risky driving events this summer.

"Seatbelt use continues to stand out as both a top behavior fleets are actively looking to address and one that drivers continue to struggle with, despite the inherent dangers and risk of policy violations and citations," says Del Lisk, Lytx's vice president of safety services. "Drivers cited for not wearing a seatbelt are 3.4% more likely to get into a collision and remains a priority for nearly every driver and fleet. Because of this, seatbelt use is one of eight behaviors we proactively issue in-cab alerts for, helping drivers to self-correct in real-time."
