LPS, the container logistics business based in Felixstowe, Suffolk, is targeting road safety improvements and insurance savings with a 3G vehicle camera solution from Intelligent Telematics. The company has installed the industry-leading IT1000 device across a fleet of 38 HGVs, having recognised the added benefits available over traditional SD-card cameras.
The IT1000 will enable LPS to access high definition footage of a collision within seconds of it occurring along with supporting vehicle data. This first notification of loss (FNOL) will help the company better manage the claims handling process, quickly proving fault and keeping insurance costs to a minimum. The 3G camera will replace an existing SD-card device, removing the risk of lost, corrupted or tampered data as well the need for any time consuming and costly manual intervention after any vehicle incident.
LPS will also use the 3G vehicle camera solution to enhance driver behaviour, monitoring crashes, near misses and harsh driving events to identify areas of improvement within the HGV fleet. From its central base within the Port of Felixstowe, the company will have full visibility of driver performance and the necessary insight to support its targeted driver training and staff engagement initiatives. This will help reduce vehicle-related accidents and mitigate any financial and operational risks that exist.
Martin Hazelwood, Transport Manager at Logistic Planning Services Ltd commented: “We are committed to using the latest technology solutions to ensure we remain at the forefront of the container logistics sector, providing the highest levels of customer service, operational performance and Duty of Care. We quickly recognised the potential of the IT1000 3G vehicle camera, when compared to other devices in the marketplace, and we expect it to have a significant positive impact on road safety and insurance costs moving forward.”
Lee Kelleway, National Account Manager at Intelligent Telematics said: “The IT1000 is the most advanced 3G vehicle camera of its kind, so is increasingly becoming the device of choice within the road transport sector. Its proven capabilities are helping companies to act more responsibly, while at the same time reduce insurance costs, achieve operating efficiencies and lessen environmental impact.”
