Before the Complaint, the Crash, or the Close Call: Driver Fatigue Monitoring Solution from 3Dtracking and Cipia

Fatigue drains a driver’s focus and control until the worst happens: a crash, a death. But the danger starts long before the tragedy. 

In a study of truck drivers in Tanzania, drivers reported driving an average of 10.6 hours without a break, with some reporting drives of up to 24 hours without rest¹. Those are drivers pushing through long hours because the job demands it of them, often without the tools needed to spot the warning signs before exhaustion takes over.

Did you know? Fatigue-related crashes have a 2x higher fatality rate than average crashes.²

By connecting the Cipia-FS10 add-on to a compatible telematics device, such as a Teltonika unit, your clients can now view fatigue and distraction events in the 3Dtracking platform in real time. Both drivers and control room staff can receive alerts before risk escalates, and access the necessary data to coach safer driving and advocate for better conditions.

Equip your clients to prioritize safety with this solution.

About 3Dtracking and Cipia’s solution

For 20+ years, our white label telematics platform has integrated seamlessly with devices and cameras from leading manufacturers like Teltonika and Howen, so you can give your clients a fleet management solution that isn’t limited to a certain hardware manufacturer. As of now, the Cipia-FS10 driver-monitoring add-on is now also supported through compatible telematics devices integrated with our platform.

“Our partnership with 3Dtracking allows us to offer our customers worldwide a telematics solution that supports all of the Cipia-FS10 features with an easy and straightforward platform integration.” - Israel Ronn, Vice President of Cipia’s Aftermarket Business.

How does a driver fatigue monitoring system work?

A driver fatigue monitoring system uses in-cabin technology to detect signs of tiredness and distraction in real time. The Cipia-FS10 is an in-cabin driver-monitoring add-on that connects to a compatible telematics device installed in the vehicle. It uses computer vision, artificial intelligence, and infrared sensing to monitor the driver while the vehicle is on the road. It tracks indicators such as head position, eyelid movement, gaze direction, and driver identity to assess the driver’s state and actions.

1. When the device detects a risky event, such as driver drowsiness or not wearing a seat belt, it immediately triggers an in-cabin audio and visual alert to refocus the driver.

2. At the same time, the Cipia-FS10 can capture the event details, including the location and the start and end times of the event. The Cipia-FS10 does not operate as a standalone telematics device. Instead, the event details are passed to a compatible telematics unit installed in the vehicle, which uses its connectivity to send the information to the 3Dtracking platform.

3. In our platform, fleet managers can view the events detected by the Cipia-FS10 and relayed through the connected device. We can also configure the platform to send real-time alerts by email or SMS for specific event types or specific drivers, so it’s easier for your clients to respond to the most relevant risks as they happen.

How do you know if a driver is fatigued?

Cipia’s FS10 add-on detects fatigue by monitoring specific driver indicators. These events are then relayed through the connected device to the 3Dtracking platform.

Your clients can pull reports from the 3Dtracking platform on these various drowsiness and distraction events, alongside other trip details such as vehicle location. This gives fleet managers a 360 picture of driver risk, both in the moment and over time.

Did you know? In-vehicle warning systems (such as alerts for drowsiness) can lower the risk of crashes by 28%.³
