In the early 80s, I worked with the world’s largest Fleet Vehicle Risk Management company, Mannesmann, a German industrial conglomerate. This company produced and marketed several scientific instruments that recorded what the drivers of fleet vehicles did in those vehicles when they were away from the direct management of their company staff and management. The occupation of driving is often viewed as free from management oversight and accountability for what they do while driving. All that changed when we installed the shakers, tachographs, and fleet management telemetric data recorders into those vehicles.
Something new and often frightening was introduced into a life that was, before this, free of accountability and direct management oversight.
To many drivers of fleet vehicles, I was their worst nightmare, as I was the guy making them accountable for their actions. What I was installing in their vehicles was seen by many as a digital conscience, a metaphorical angel now perched on their shoulder, to counteract the other shoulder adorned with their little devil leading them down the slippery slope to break company policy, disregard highway safety and often act in the self-centered take advantage of every situation manner, that is often the darker side of human nature.
There are many examples of this “Digital Conscience” enhancing the Risk Management of fleet vehicle drivers in different situations and applications, such as the following:
When Affordable School Bus Camera Systems are installed in a school district’s buses, they can document two very different fleet management risks: driver-related risks and student-related risks.
For example, ask yourself if you were the driver of the school bus. Would you be more likely or less likely to drink beer, smoke, or use your cell phone while driving a bus full of other people’s children? Most drivers with a IQ above room temperature woud view that camera watching and recording them as a direct connection to management, staff, or law enforcement were they to do something inconceivably stupid, like drinking a beer or using a cell phone to text while driving children on the bus.
Private Service Contractor Charter Transport Compliance Bus Camera Systems are often purchased to enable the contractor bus carrier to verify or dispute with digital evidence claims that are made that may require liability protection in court.
Protecting a ministry’s high moral standards and values often requires going the extra mile to ensure that false claims often made against religious institutions can be disputed with digital evidence that is not susceptible to bias, prejudice, or subjectivity.
Transportation Ministry Youth Activities Church Bus Camera Systems are the most efficient means to document what happens for later review should it be necessary.
Those using Alternative School & Juvenile Detention Bus Security Cameras on their vehicles are already transporting children who have been adjudicated to have discipline issues, and those can often make deceit, violence, and false claims with no regard for the truth or rule of law. Incorporation of these vehicle camera systems in these buses provides the ability to reduce fraudulent lawsuits before attorneys are required, potentially saving much more than the system cost to equip.
Private Service Contractor Charter Transport Compliance Bus Camera Systems are purchased by those who transport children to and from early school programs and incorporate the Head Start Pre-K Pre-School Nursery School Child Safety Bus Camera Recorder systems as a way to let the children know they are being documented and that just because mommy and daddy are not there, they need to act in a responsible manner, as their actions are being recorded and they can help accountable. We have many cases of drivers simply pointing out the cameras, recording them to remind the children to act with a degree of civilty.
Before & After Care School Child Day Care Pickup In-vehicle Shuttle Safety Cameras are installed to deter those who may make false claims regarding their transport. The overt cameras are easy to view and are a constant reminder that false claims can be quickly disputed with a digital expert witness. It also reminds the drivers that they are to act professionally, as their actions and comments are always being recorded when they are away from the office. Management can always revise the action after the fact if need be.
Fleet Management Risk Deterrence can be enhanced by Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video Cameras that can help document the reality of what might have happened with those whose memories are failing and may be under the influence of mind or perceptions-altering medications make claims. In the past, he said she said disputes would fester unresolved and create tensions and potential litigation. Still, with the innovative fleet management risk deterrence of a vehicle video camera recording system, those high-risk issues can be better managed as there is not a verifiable documented sequential list of event sin that vehicle to review.
Even the Low-Cost HD School Bus Child Safety Camera systems used in the worse-funded school districts are incorporated each day to reduce the risk of problems on the bus. Children often retaliate against drivers they do not like, and making false claims is one of the hardest claims for management to resolve as there may be multiple students making the claim, so it seems reliable. The pack mentality of students is a behavior that makes it difficult to manage the risks without a mechanism to determine the truth of what might have transpired. This is what the low cost school bus cameras should do to help instill the accountability of the passengers and drivers.
