Until now, the detection of driver distraction has been a labour-intensive process that could not be applied across the board. As a result, distracted driving is a major cause of accidents. The widespread use of mobile phones while driving is particularly problematic, as it increases the risk of an accident by up to 12 times. Furthermore, it registers missing seat belts, a violation that contributes to around 25% of all fatal accidents.
To improve road safety, a solution is needed that captures these violations efficiently.

In response to distraction-related traffic incidents, VITRONIC has developed an automated mobile phone & seatbelt detection system to improve road safety while significantly reducing your manpower requirements. The VITRONIC system works on the basis of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is trained using image material to detect violations with high precision across up to two lanes.
Less accidents and lower severity: VITRONIC’s automated system uses AI-based software to detect the illegal use of mobile phones by drivers and seatbelt violations. For this application, the system captures an image or video, including automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). The AI then recognizes windscreens, people, hands and mobile phones in the footage.

Operating day and night, the system helps drive long-term behavioral change by consistently enforcing mobile phone and seat belt violations. It is an easy-to-implement and cost-effective option, as it does not require any in-road installations and can be mounted on existing infrastructure such as poles or gantries. The solution covers everything from configuration to validation and increases efficiency.

Compliance with data protection standards, tamper-proof case data, and a high level of legal validity are essential. Even the most advanced technology is ineffective if it cannot be used due to data protection concerns. This is particularly true for image recognition and the processing of vehicle drivers and passengers. VITRONIC’s solutions offer robust data protection: data is only collected in the event of a violation, secured with advanced encryption, and—despite automated detection and AI support—manually verified by trained personnel. This ensures full compliance with legal requirements, including those of the EU AI Act.

Lower your costs and effort for a driver monitoring system from a full-service provider: VITRONIC not only supplies advanced technology, but also adapts it to the customer's specific needs to ensure the most precise monitoring possible. And that's not all: we deliver implementation, operation and service - simple and comfortable from a single provider. This significantly reduces your costs of deploying this effective solution for detecting distraction and seatbelt violations.
