Hours-based fatigue rules have been the industry default for decades. On paper, the logic makes sense: cap the hours, mandate the breaks, assume the driver is fine if they’re within the limit. The problem is that fatigue doesn’t actually work on a clock. Two drivers can log the identical shift and arrive at completely different states, one alert, one dangerously close to a microsleep, and a logbook can’t tell the difference between them.
Digicore’s IVMS technology measures the thing that actually matters: the driver, not the clock. An AI-enabled in-cab camera watches for the physical signs of drowsiness, microsleeps, heavy eye closure, frequent yawning, as well as distraction such as mobile phone use, and responds immediately with an in-cab alert while logging the event for fleet managers in real time.
This doesn’t replace hours-of-service rules; it catches what they’re structurally unable to see. A driver who is fit for duty on paper but fading behind the wheel gets flagged the moment it matters, not reconstructed after an incident from a logbook that said everything was within limits. It’s the difference between managing a number and managing the actual risk.
Manage the driver, not just the hours. Talk to Digicore about real-time fatigue and distraction monitoring with IVMS 2.0.
