National Transport Insurance (NTI) has teamed up with Seeing Machines, to develop programs that will promote the benefits of Guardian, Seeing Machines’ fleet solution that detects fatigue and distraction-related driver events in real time, to NTI policyholders.

The Canberra-based advanced computer vision technology company develops driver-monitoring systems that use artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of heads, faces, and eyes to improve transport safety.

“From small, regional owner operators to multistate fleets, we work to build stronger, safer businesses – a value also deeply ingrained in what Seeing Machines do,” said Christopher Hogarty, chief customer officer at NTI. “We have entered into an exclusive partnership with Seeing Machines to develop a unique insurance offering which promotes Guardian, their market-leading and life-saving technology.”

“Guardian is a safety technology that is already deployed in over 14,000 commercial vehicles worldwide, keeping drivers and their communities safe,” said Paul McGlone, GM fleet at Seeing Machines. “Seeing Machines works closely with insurers in several countries today. Partnering with NTI in Australia will open up significant opportunities to accelerate growth in our fleet business locally and create new information-based collaboration and services.”
