The DriveCam records risky driving events to aid driver-behaviour analysis
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), is endorsing DriveCam, a new driver-behaviour management system.

DriveCam works by collecting high risk driving 'events' on a palm-sized colour video recorder mounted behind a vehicle's rear view mirror. The recorder captures what the driver sees and hears, inside and outside the vehicle. When a triggering event occurs - such as an accident or harsh acceleration, braking or turning - images and sounds are automatically recorded.

Any events that have been captured by DriveCam are then downloaded onto a computer, allowing fleet managers to review an individual driver's performance, and take remedial measures where required.

The DriveCam system is said to integrate video technology with management software, thereby allowing fleet managers to identify and remedy dangerous driving behaviour through driver training.
