One of the most impactful features of AI dash cams is their ability to monitor driver behavior in real time. These systems not only recognize risky behavior as it happens, but they also provide instant alerts and audible cues that help drivers self-correct before an incident occurs.


Tenna’s dual-facing fleet dash camera leverages AI technology to detect and alert drivers to both external and internal events such as tailgating, seatbelt non-use, phone use, and more.


changes behavior over time. Drivers be- come more aware, more accountable, and more consistent. Companies gain peace of mind knowing that they are addressing problems before they escalate.


Empowering Driver Performance Through AI-Based Scorecards Another key innovation is the integra- tion of driver scorecards into fleet man- agement platforms. These scorecards evaluate performance metrics such as harsh braking, rapid acceleration, cor- nering behavior, and compliance with posted speed limits. With AI analytics from cameras supporting event evidence, this data becomes a foundation for driver coaching, training, and incentivizing drivers as well as for incident or near-


miss documentation. Dash cams equipped with AI can pro- vide footage that helps contractors identify trends and patterns. When integrated with a scorecard, video footage can contribute to assigning accurate performance scores to individuals and provide objective, timely, and actionable feedback. Additionally, video footage supports


documentation for safety forms and proactive incident response. Tis visi- bility helps fleet managers recognize top performers while identifying those who require additional support. In many organizations, scorecards are linked to incentive programs that reward safe driving or safe jobsite performance. Tis not only motivates drivers but also reinforces a streamlined, safety-first


culture across the company. Over time, these programs contribute to lower in- surance premiums, reduced vehicle wear and tear, and fewer jobsite disruptions. Some providers offer scorecards that go beyond driver safety to include cus- tomizable, operation-based performance events. This can include near misses and risky behaviors detected not only on AI dash cameras but also from heavy equipment cameras.


Cameras That See the Whole Jobsite: Footage in and Around Heavy Equipment While dash cams are widely used in trucks and company fleet vehicles, their adoption in heavy equipment is where the next wave of innovation is taking place. Cameras mounted on bulldozers, excavators, cranes, and other machinery are enhancing operator visibility and reducing blind spots — common factors in jobsite incidents.
