Technology will redefine fleet by 2020

Smart technologies to prevent or mitigate sleep-related accidents, keeping your drivers safer, even on the longest journeys.

Drowsiness is a factor in 20% of accidents on major roads. In fact, fatigue is more likely to cause fatality or serious injury than alcohol. In line with our vision that by 2020 no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo, we’ve developed a range of ways to keep drivers alert and focused and minimise the risk and severity of accidents.

DRIVER ALERT CONTROL

An on-board camera tracks the road markings and compares them with the driver’s steering wheel movements. If the car does not follow the markings evenly, the system sends an alert to the driver. Driver Alert Control is primarily designed for long journeys on major roads.
