Teletrac Navman Empowers Canal & River Trust with AI-Powered Smart Dashcams to Enhance Fleet Safety and Driver Training

Teletrac Navman, a Vontier company and a leading provider of connected mobility solutions for industries managing vehicle and equipment assets, is enhancing safety for Canal & River Trust (C&RT) through the deployment of advanced AI-powered Smart Dashcams across its fleet. Based in Milton Keynes, England, the initiative marks a significant step forward in the charity’s mission to improve road safety and driver wellbeing. C&RT, responsible for maintaining the canals, rivers, and locks across England and Wales, is installing over 500 Smart Dashcams in its widely dispersed fleet. The system combines forward- and driver-facing cameras with real-time AI analytics to deliver a complete, always-on view of driving conditions and driver behavior. This technology enables immediate alerts for high-risk driving and supports ongoing coaching programs tailored to individual drivers. By integrating video footage with telematics data, C&RT’s fleet managers gain a unified, actionable view of operations. In-cab notifications instantly flag unsafe behaviors, while post-drive reviews allow for personalized feedback. This dual approach not only helps drivers recognize and correct risky habits but also encourages a culture of continuous improvement and recognition for safe driving. Barney Goffer, UK Product Manager at Teletrac Navman, highlighted the role of technology in shaping safer fleets: “Modern fleet operations must prioritize safety, and we’re proud to support Canal & River Trust in this critical phase. The combination of AI-driven Smart Dashcams and real-time data empowers organizations to gain deeper visibility, improve efficiency, and foster a proactive safety culture.” Steve Mulvaney, Fleet Manager at Canal & River Trust, shared positive feedback from the team: “Our drivers are skilled tradespeople who often manage multiple responsibilities. The dashcams give us the ability to provide formal, data-driven driving training. Seeing their own driving replayed—whether it’s a good example or an area for improvement—has made training far more impactful and engaging. The response from our team has been outstanding; everyone is motivated to drive safely, not just for themselves, but for others on the road.” The deployment is expected to reduce accident rates, lower insurance costs, and improve overall fleet performance. With more than 700,000 vehicles and assets managed globally, Teletrac Navman continues to leverage cloud-based platforms and AI to deliver operational insights that drive safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
