Safer drivers, fewer accidents, lower insurance — measured, not guessed.

iMatrix DriveGuard (FC-DBMS) is the Driver Behavior Monitoring System that enhances vehicle safety and efficiency by collecting and analyzing driver behavior in real time. Harsh-braking, speeding, collisions, and fatigue — all surfaced as alerts and reports. Hardware you own outright. Data you keep forever.

How It Works

Five data sources. One real-time picture of every driver.

DriveGuard collects and processes data from a variety of sources — enabling real-time analysis of driving behavior, with both instant alerts and comprehensive reports.

🚐

Vehicle CAN Bus

Extracts vital vehicle operation data — engine RPM, throttle, brake pressure, speed.

📡

Wi-Fi

Seamless wireless connectivity when vehicles return to yard or depot.

📶

Cellular

Uninterrupted data transmission on the road via EdgeUplink eSIM.

🛰

GPS / GNSS

Tracks vehicle location, speed, and movement against route plans.

📐

6-Axis IMU

Accelerometer + gyroscope measure changes in acceleration and orientation.

Alert Types

Every unsafe-driving event, in real time.

DriveGuard detects and reports the events that drive accident frequency and insurance claims. Each alert is configurable per fleet policy and routes to fleet managers via email, SMS, webhook, or in-app push.

Harsh braking

Identifies sudden braking events from CAN bus and IMU data. Alerts fleet managers to potential safety issues and unsafe-following-distance habits.

Rapid acceleration

Monitors instances of sudden acceleration — the strongest predictor of risky driving habits and a leading indicator of fuel waste.

Speeding

Continuously tracks vehicle speed against customizable limits per fleet policy or per geofence. Every event is recorded for reporting.

Collision & impact detection

Monitors impact events via the 6-axis IMU and identifies potential collisions. Configurable sensitivity, real-time notifications.

Driver fatigue monitoring

Detects signs of driver fatigue and issues timely alerts to prevent accidents — long uninterrupted drives, lane drift, abnormal control inputs. (Optional add-on.)

Detailed reports

Generates comprehensive reports on driver behavior, suitable for performance review, coaching, and insurance-discount documentation.

Why fleets pick DriveGuard

Comprehensive monitoring that pays for itself.

Improve driver safety and accountability — every event is timestamped, attributed, and reviewable. Coaching has data, not opinions.
Reduce operational risks and insurance costs — most major insurers offer fleet discounts when behavior data is available, and exoneration footage from optional dash-cams cuts at-fault claim payouts.
Optimize fleet efficiency through data-driven insights — idle time, fuel-burn, and route adherence surface alongside safety events for one consolidated view.
Maintain compliance with safety regulations — exportable per-driver scorecards meet most carrier safety-management standards out of the box.

Hardware Stack

FleetConnect Edge

Industrial gateway with dual CAN bus (J1939 / CANopen), 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and multi-constellation GNSS. The flagship for heavy-duty fleets.
