Starting October 1st, Yamato Transport will be gradually replacing the drive recorders installed in approximately 46,000 of its delivery vehicles nationwide.

The renewal will now include voice alerts when sudden acceleration or braking is detected, and will also automatically upload video footage of the vehicle to the cloud for recording in the driver's log.
Furthermore, the outward-facing camera can recognize speed limit signs and stop signs to detect speeding or failure to stop at stop signs, and the driver's actions in those situations can be reviewed in the driver's log.
Furthermore, the system automatically uploads video footage when a specified action occurs, such as when the inward-facing camera detects suspected drowsiness from the sales driver's facial movements. In addition, the driver's driving behavior can be monitored at any time on a tablet or other device.
The daily driving status is displayed in the driving log using radar charts based on five themes: "obedience to stop signs," "dangerous driving," "concentration on driving," "hurried driving," and "eco-driving." This allows for the visualization of safety awareness and driving skills, and also enables the viewing of average values from the past month, making it possible to compare progress.
During post-shift roll call, sales drivers can review their driving performance for the day using driving video and radar charts displayed in their daily driving log, allowing them to receive guidance tailored to their individual driving characteristics.

Managers will be able to review driving footage on tablets and other devices at any time, enabling more timely safety training. Additionally, the digitization of driving logs will reduce the burden of storage, ensuring proper management in compliance with laws and regulations.
