How a partner solved distracted driving for an 8,000-vehicle fleet with 99% precision
LightMetrics’ AI-powered, fine-grained classification delivers accuracy at scale, enabling partners to win major enterprise fleet deals. A large US-based organization faced a significant safety challenge across its 8,000-vehicle fleet. With a strict safety mandate to eliminate cell phone use while driving, the company needed a solution that was not only effective but also highly accurate. Their telematics provider turned to LightMetrics to deliver a system capable of meeting this enterprise grade requirement.

The LightMetrics Advantage
The Challenge
The core problem was rampant cell phone use among the organization's 8,000 volunteer drivers. However, detecting this behavior accurately proved difficult. Even for human reviewers, the visual similarity between a driver holding a phone and making a natural hand gesture, like scratching their face, was a constant issue.
Initial attempts to monitor for this behavior resulted in a high number of false positives.This created two major risks:
Driver Pushback
Constant, incorrect alerts would erode driver trust and lead to pushback against the entire safety program.
System Distrust
Fleet managers would lose confidence in a system that cried wolf, rendering the safety initiative ineffective
