Curved Logic
aka Smart Algorithm, Curved Logic or Logging is Geotab’s patented method of moving data efficiently from vehicle to server. The purpose of the algorithm is to identify useless points and discard them while preserving the most important information. https://www.geotab.com/blog/gps-logging-curve-algorithm/
Dashcam ADAS
Advanced driver-assistance systems, are technological features that are designed to increase the safety of driving a vehicle. When your vehicle departs a lane or detects the need to decrease cruise control speed, a dashcam equipped with ADAS capabilities will make a sound or alert the driver of impending potential hazard. https://www.caranddriver.com/research/a31880412/adas/
Dashcam AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in some video solutions to automatically analyze video content for unsafe driving behavior. AI can be used to audibly coach the driver in real-time for instances of tailgating, roll-through stops, drowsiness, distraction and other unsafe conditions. https://www.geotab.com/blog/fleet-video/
Dashcam DMS
A driver monitoring system, or DMS, helps mitigate the risk of accidents by combatting drowsiness and distractions that often occur for drivers, especially when driving long-distances, driving for longer durations, and driving at night. https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-is-a-driver-monitoring-system
