Predictive Safety's AlertMeter® Helps Companies Turn In-Cab Fatigue Detection Into Preventive Action

As fleets invest in AI-powered fatigue-sensing cameras from Lytx, Samsara, Netradyne and others, AlertMeter® provides a critical layer of protection before drivers get behind the wheel.

DENVER, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The rapid adoption of in-cab artificial intelligence cameras is giving companies unprecedented visibility into driver fatigue and distraction. However, many organizations are discovering that identifying fatigue during a trip is only part of the solution.

Predictive Safety's AlertMeter® helps companies detect potential alertness risk and cognitive fatigue before a driver begins operating a vehicle—enabling earlier intervention and a more comprehensive approach to fleet safety.

In-cab camera systems from providers can help identify behaviors associated with fatigue, distraction and other driving risks while a vehicle is in motion. These technologies are accelerating investment in fatigue management by showing companies the scope and frequency of fatigue-related risk across their operations.

That increased visibility is also leading companies to a critical realization: They may have a fatigue problem that begins before a driver enters the vehicle.

"Many companies invest in fatigue-sensing cameras expecting to solve their fatigue problem, but the data often reveals a deeper operational challenge," said Jeff Akers, CEO, at Predictive Safety. "They begin seeing signs of fatigue on the road and then contact Predictive Safety because they understand that prevention must start before the driver is behind the wheel. AlertMeter® gives companies a practical way to act on that insight earlier. The goal is not simply to document fatigue, but to help prevent a fatigued or otherwise impaired driver from beginning a trip."

AlertMeter® complements in-cab camera technology by assessing a driver's readiness at the start of a shift. Through brief, science-based cognitive and psychomotor assessments, AlertMeter® can help identify changes in reaction time, decision making, attention, coordination and other performance leading indicators that may be associated with fatigue, impairment or reduced readiness.

When results indicate elevated risk, organizations can apply their own policies and escalation procedures before the employee begins driving. This may include supervisor review, reassignment, additional rest, fitness-for-duty procedures or other appropriate interventions.

Together, pre-shift screening and in-cab monitoring create a more comprehensive layered safety strategy:

• Before the trip: AlertMeter® helps identify whether a driver may be showing signs of reduced readiness.
• During the trip: AI-enabled camera systems can monitor driving behaviors and visual indicators associated with fatigue, distraction and other risks.
• After the trip: Organizations can use insights from both systems to strengthen coaching, scheduling, fatigue-management programs and safety policies.

Predictive Safety is experiencing rapid growth in transportation, aviation, logistics, utilities, mining and other safety-sensitive industries as they expand their use of fatigue-sensing technologies. The company's AlertMeter® platform is positioned as a complementary solution for organizations seeking to connect real-time vehicle monitoring with proactive, pre-shift risk detection.
