About this listen

Every day, professional drivers navigate complex environments with limited visibility. Even the most experienced drivers can’t see every pedestrian and cyclist at once. In fact, 14% of severe large-truck crashes happen due to inadequate surveillance.* In this episode of Operate Smarter, host Hannah Maslar talks with Jason Louis, VP of Safety at Coach USA, one of the largest passenger transit providers in the U.S.

Jason shares how Coach USA is protecting the most at-risk population their drivers interact with—pedestrians. You’ll hear how Samsara’s AI Multicam and Pedestrian Collision Warning alerts give their drivers 360-degree visibility around their large buses, and the incredible results Coach USA has experienced.
