The holidays are just around the corner, and days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday present fleets with safety and efficiency challenges, which is the topic of Ed Dubens’ Crash-Free Culture column today. He recommends “solutions like Mentor by eDriving, made to identify risky driver behaviors, delivering targeting trainings to ensure your team gets help where they need it most.” READ MORE
The Work Fleet Forum
I’m looking forward to attending The Work Fleet Forum for the first time next week, at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas. It’s the organization’s largest gathering of attendees and sponsors in the 10-plus years of the event. In a casual networking environment, fleet leaders from firms such as AT&T, Aramark, Quanta, Rollins, LG&E and Con Edison will discuss ways to run a safer, smarter fleet. I'll report back soon on what I learn.

Spiffy, an on-demand car care, technology, and services company, is excited to introduce Easy Tread™, an innovative solution designed to enhance transparency and trust in auto servicing by providing hyper-detailed, visual tire diagnostics.
The proprietary device expedites tire inspections, providing automotive technicians with the ability to capture detailed images of each tire using a tablet connected to a precision-stabilized camera.
"Integrating visual elements into service recommendations is no longer optional; it's table stakes for the consumer experience," said Scot Wingo, Spiffy CEO. "With Easy Tread, we're not just telling customers what’s going on with their tires; we're showing them."

Four companies and university researchers have shared details about sensors and systems they’re using, or that are in development, to improve driver and pedestrian safety at night, detect objects and pedestrians on the road from further away, and slow vehicles down.
Koito has developed adaptive driving beams, which automatically change brightness levels as oncoming traffic nears while still maintaining improved visibility.
Denso has developed sensors that recognize a vehicle’s surroundings and play the role of the “eyes” in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Denso is working to improve the object recognition rate of image sensors not only at night but also in various traffic situations.
