DriveCam Video Systems, a vehicle safety systems manufacturer, announced Apr. 2 the release of HindSight 20/20,
a Windows-based software program that gives commercial fleets the ability
to manage DriveCam recordings and, according to the company, evaluate individual driving performance.Download and Email Transfer: The company says with HindSight 20/20, DriveCam video recordings
are downloaded from the event recorder via a USB cable. Video
recordings of driving events can be emailed as an attachment to
corporate headquarters or an insurance agency. Events can also be emailed
to DriveCam experts for further analysis.
Video Player and Event Assessment: HindSight 20/20's video player allows
supervisors to view driving events and log them to specific drivers, zoom
in for more details or view events frame by frame. They can also enter
road conditions, weather and other observations, and assign severity levels
to events.
Integrated Database and Reporting: Fleet managers can monitor and track
the results of other driver training initiatives, review audit history
and activity logs, maintain a driver and vehicle database, and automatically
create individual counseling forms.
In addition to HindSight 20/20, the complete Driving Feedback System includes
a manager's guide, driver guide, videotape and DriveCam video event recorder.
The DriveCam recorder measures G-forces caused by activities such as hard
braking, acceleration, harsh cornering or collisions, which trigger it
to save a driving event for later viewing.

HindSight 20/20 is the management component of DriveCam's Driving Feedback
System, which DriveCam says incorporates video technology to improve driving
habits and reduce the frequency and severity of collisions.
"DriveCam now offers the first driving performance evaluation system that
incorporates actual driving experiences," said Ed Andrew, president of
DriveCam. "From the vehicle, the DriveCam recorder captures what the
driver sees and hears in real driving situations. HindSight 20/20 provides
the management tools to build a database of recordings and analyze the
driving performance of each driver. By automating this performance review
process, it is especially useful for larger fleets."

transportation, and service/delivery vans, are currently using DriveCam
Video System's products to improve safety and reduce operating costs.
The company claims the Driving Feedback System has been proven to reduce the frequency
and severity of collisions by 30 percent to 50 percent and is endorsed
by the insurance industry.
"HindSight 20/20 makes it easy to manage DriveCam recordings from my laptop
computer," said Tim Gotto, safety supervisor for Time Warner in San Diego,
who has been beta testing the new software. "It automatically files driving
incidents under each driver and vehicle. When counseling drivers on improving
driving safety, I use my laptop to review both positive and negative driving
incidents with drivers and their supervisors."
