Beginning in May 2024, Samsara released changes to the following AI detection models:
Please reach out to your account representative if you have any concerns around these changes.
A new version of the No Seat Belt feature is being released to all Samsara customers who have it enabled. The feature now detects seat belt violations throughout an entire trip, allowing in-cab alerts to play at any time during the trip. Safety Inbox events remain capped at one per trip, but customers may see an increase in No Seat Belt events. To manage event volume, customers can adjust the speed threshold in their Safety Settings.
A new version of Inattentive Driving is being rolled out to all Samsara customers with the feature enabled. Customers can expect more true positive events in their inbox. To manage event volume, use the speed threshold, Nudges, and severity settings in Safety Settings.
A new version of Mobile Usage is being released to all Samsara customers with this feature enabled. Customers can expect more accurate Mobile Usage events in their Safety Inbox. To manage event volume, adjust the speed threshold and Nudges in Safety Settings.
Dual and front-facing cameras with AI capabilities can detect unsafe Following Distance, often referred to as tailgating. Following Distance AI Event Detection helps you improve driver safety by sending optional in-cab alerts to encourage drivers to increase following distance. Dash cams use a combination of AI-powered distance estimation and current speed data to detect unsafe following behavior in real-time.
A new version of Following Distance is currently being released to all Samsara customers with the feature currently enabled. The primary change with this new version is that it no longer relies on Camera Calibration to calculate distances to a leading vehicle. This means there is no need to manually adjust dash cam calibration for any Samsara AI features. You can identify misaligned and obstructed cameras using the Camera Health Report.
To learn more about and configure this feature, see Following Distance (Tailgating) Detection.
This new Following Distance version also includes simplified options for the Distance Seconds setting, reduced to three options: (default) < 0.5 seconds, < 1.0 seconds, and < 1.5 seconds.
Customers can expect a decrease in Following Distance Safety Inbox events, depending on the prior Distance Seconds setting:
-
Prior Distance Seconds setting of less than 0.5: Event volume reduced by 75% compared to the old model
-
Prior Distance Seconds setting of greater than 0.5: Event volume reduced by 25% compared to the old model
The new Rolling Stop Detection model provides enhanced accuracy and identifies more rolling stop events compared to the previous model. This improvement leverages map data to detect rolling stops by matching a vehicle's GPS location to the coordinates of a stop sign. To pinpoint intersections where stop signs are likely present, the model utilizes OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and telematics data. This model excludes stop signs not included in the map dataset, such as temporary signs on private property.
With the updated model, you can anticipate up to a 150% increase in events in the Safety Inbox and in the Safety Report. In addition, the Harsh Event page will now display a 10-second video leading up to and including the vehicle crossing the intersection with the stop sign.
To verify whether a vehicle rolled through the stop, the model now uses map-based data in conjunction with speed data. The new speed threshold settings are 5 mph (default), 10 mph, and 15 mph.
Note
In-cab alerts are not available with Rolling Stop Detection.
