Motive’s AI Dashcams can trigger safety behaviors and in-cab alerts that help drivers as well as safety managers in analyzing driving performance and ensuring drivers drive safely on the road.
Each safety behavior comes with a default configuration for generating events & in-cab alerts, however, these can be further customized in the Safety > Unsafe Behavior Detection and Event Intelligence section of the Motive dashboards Admin panel.
Below is a summary of the available configuration options for all Motive unsafe behaviors.
| Note: Configuration options for behavior preset groups (Lowest-Highest) and advanced controls are identical for both Event capture and In-cab alerts. |
