Distracted driving is a serious risk on Australian roads.
Research shows that distraction is the main contributing factor in about 16% of Australia’s serious casualty road crashes, making it a major road safety issue for all road users.
Distracted driving occurs when a driver’s attention is taken away from the road. This can reduce awareness, slow reaction time, affect braking and steering response, and make it harder to maintain speed, lane position, and safe distance from other vehicles.
Government road safety guidance also identifies mobile phone distraction as contributing to decreased road awareness, delayed responses, reduced driving ability, and harsher braking.
Don’t let distractions put you, or others, in the path of danger.
At Energy Logistix, we take this responsibility seriously.
Our heavy vehicles are fitted with Guardian by Seeing Machines technology, which supports the monitoring and management of fatigue and distraction risk. Guardian uses face and eye-tracking technology to monitor driver attention, including eye closure, head position, eye gaze, and distraction events.
Seeing Machines states that Guardian provides real-time in-vehicle intervention, 24/7 monitoring and analysis through the Guardian Centre, and secure access through Guardian Live.
This technology helps keep our drivers and the community safe by:
• Alerting drivers in real time when signs of fatigue or distraction are detected.
• Monitoring for distraction events, including long glances away from the road.
• Providing alerts and event information so our compliance team can complete welfare checks, coaching, and follow-up.
• Supporting corrective action where behaviour does not align with our values, procedures, or legal obligations.
At ELX, we invest in technology, systems, and driver support to help us stay ahead of risk, protect our people, and do our part to keep the community safe.
