Lytx-DC-Protect

Video-Based Safety Program

Lytx Inc. has announced the availability of DC Protect, a new program designed to meet the unique needs of fleets with fewer than 350 vehicles, low insurance deductibles and limited safety resources. Building upon the insights gained from delivering the company’s flagship DriveCam powered by Lytx Program to hundreds of fleets worldwide, the DC Protect program is an optimized solution with self-service tools that help smaller fleets improve safety and protect drivers.

DC Protect harnesses the power of video to enable fleet managers to protect 100 percent of their fleet, exonerate drivers from false claims, improve driver safety and significantly reduce collision costs. The in-vehicle video event recorder captures events and analyzes behavior while providing real-time feedback to help keep drivers safe.

Using the patented Lytx Engine, the Lytx Safety Score assesses the probability of being in a collision based on data from more than 25 billion miles driven and collected over more than 15 years. By understanding how behavioral patterns are indicative of risky driving behavior, DC Protect prioritizes drivers based on their risk assessment.

Additionally, fleet managers can focus quickly on drivers with a higher probability of being involved in a collision to help predict and reduce the frequency and severity of collisions. Video events from actively managed drivers are captured and uploaded to the Lytx review center. Events are immediately available on the DriveCam Online platform, and those with risk identified are marked for coaching so that client supervisors can conduct coaching sessions and improve driver performance. Events for all other drivers can be selectively retrieved as needed in the event of a collision or other incident. www.lytx.com
