Every year, nearly 1.2 million people lose their lives on the road. That’s more than 3,000 lives per day — and millions more are injured or left with lifelong disabilities. The 8th UN Global Road Safety Week is a call to action: it's time to connect for safer roads.

At Can-Am Telematics, we’re proud to support this mission by providing intelligent video telematics tools that empower fleets to drive change — literally.

Driver Safety Starts with Visibility

When fleet managers can see how their vehicles are being driven, they can coach and correct in real-time. Our Surfsight and VuDrive systems deliver:

Live video and event-based alerts
Detection of risky behaviors like speeding, harsh braking, phone use, and fatigue
Real-time driver coaching to reduce future incidents

By promoting accountability and awareness, these tools help reduce collisions and save lives.

Protecting Pedestrians Through Smarter Tech

Pedestrians and cyclists make up more than a quarter of global traffic fatalities. Video telematics helps drivers:

Stay alert in urban and high-foot-traffic areas
Minimize blind spots
Respond more quickly to unexpected hazards

With AI-powered alerts and in-cab warnings, both Surfsight and VuDrive help prevent accidents before they happen.

The Bigger Picture: Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility

Global Road Safety Week reminds us that we all share the road — and the responsibility.

Whether you're managing a fleet of trucks, service vehicles, or delivery vans, integrating safety tools like video telematics shows your commitment to:

Saving lives
Protecting your team
Reducing insurance risk
Enhancing your company’s reputation
