Lytx Rolls Out AI-Powered Fatigue Detection Tech to Make Fleet Roads Safer

Fatigue has long haunted the commercial fleet industry—lurking behind late-night highway drifts, slow reaction times, and thousands of preventable collisions. Now, Lytx® Inc., a pioneer in video telematics and fleet safety, is confronting the issue head-on with its new Fatigue Detection solution, fusing machine vision, AI, and human intelligence for early, precise detection of drowsy driving.

Unlike traditional systems that rely on isolated signals or single events, Lytx’s tech monitors a continuous pattern of behaviors—like prolonged eye closures, nodding, lane drifting, and slouching—to proactively alert both drivers and fleet managers before fatigue becomes dangerous.

“Fatigue is progressive—it doesn’t show up in just one blink or swerve,” said Brendon Hill, SVP of Product at Lytx. “We’ve designed our technology to track nuanced indicators over time, delivering more accurate alerts and reducing false positives.”

What Sets Lytx Apart?

While other systems in the market offer reactive tools or basic detection, Lytx’s offering is proactive, contextual, and layered with expert human review, delivering:

• Early Detection: Real-time insight into fatigue onset, not just after-the-fact behavior.

• Advanced Accuracy: The fusion of MV+AI and human oversight ensures smarter, more reliable alerts.

• Workflow Integration: Fleet managers receive timely notifications they can act on immediately.

A safety director from a major healthcare distribution company who tested competing systems noted, “We trialed Lytx and Netradyne and found that Lytx Fatigue Detection was more accurate.”

A Growing Industry Problem

Driver fatigue remains a leading cause of fleet-related accidents, and with longer routes, tighter schedules, and a persistent driver shortage, the pressure isn’t easing. Fleet safety has become a top priority for multinational corporations (MNCs), prompting increased investment in intelligent safety systems that provide measurable ROI—not just in dollars, but in lives saved.

Lytx's Fatigue Detection is already proving to be a timely answer to the industry's demand for real-time, behavior-based interventions that blend technology with human discernment.

Availability

Lytx’s Fatigue Detection is available now and comes integrated with the company’s award-winning MV+AI technology platform, which powers safety and efficiency solutions across some of the world’s largest commercial fleets.

As safety tech evolves, fatigue detection is fast becoming a must-have feature—and with Lytx, it’s getting smarter, faster, and more scalable.
