Fleet technology has come a long way.

I've watched this industry move from paper dispatch and pay phones to connected systems that can tell us almost everything about a truck's operation.

Where it is. How fast it's moving. How much fuel it's using. When maintenance is needed.

But there's a critical gap in that digital picture.

What does the fleet actually know about the physical environment surrounding the truck?

The tight dock approach. The recurring blind-side hazard at a customer facility. The near miss that could have become a collision.

These are the conditions professional drivers navigate every day, yet much of that information has historically remained outside the fleet's digital systems.

Computer vision and real-time vehicle intelligence are beginning to change what's possible.

When a system can understand the environment around a commercial vehicle, that intelligence can help identify developing risk, better support the driver, and eventually help fleets recognize patterns across their operations.

That's where I believe the next meaningful advancement in fleet technology will come from.

Camera monitor systems changed commercial vehicle visibility. That was an important step.

The next question is much bigger: What can the vehicle understand about the world it is seeing and can that help the driver?

VisionWise Core360 is engineered to continuously interpret the environment around the commercial vehicle—objects, position, movement, geometry, developing risk, and the relationships between them.

Because a clearer image is valuable.

But a system that can understand what is happening in that image opens an entirely different category of capability.

That is where commercial vehicle vision is headed.

What should the next generation of commercial vehicle vision be expected to help the driver understand?

What should a truck remember?

A professional driver returning to the same distribution center for the fortieth time does not arrive with a blank slate.

They know the blind-side approach is tighter than it looks. They know where the curb becomes a problem. They know how much room they need before beginning the maneuver.
The truck, however, may approach that same location as though it has never been there before.

As perception and prediction systems become more capable, I think we should start asking whether that needs to remain true.

If a Digital Vision System develops useful spatial understanding of a facility, including fixed barriers, curbs, walls, protective poles and dock geometry, could some of that context be useful the next time the truck returns?

There are important boundaries.

Live perception always has to win because yards change. What the system remembers cannot become ground truth.

And just as importantly, this should not become another way to build a record about the driver.

Remember the place, not the performance.

Environmental memory should exist for one reason: to help the system better support the professional driver when the truck encounters that environment again.

What should the truck know? What should it forget? How long should it trust what it remembers?

Those are questions worth answering with fleets and professional drivers while this capability is still being shaped.

That is the subject of Blog 15: What Should the Truck Remember?

For years, fleets have invested in seeing and recording more around the vehicle.

But the next evolution of visibility isn't another view.

It's turning what the system sees into information a professional driver can actually use at the moment it matters.

That's the idea behind software-defined visibility: adapting awareness to the vehicle, maneuver, environment, and surrounding objects instead of asking the driver to continuously interpret a collection of static views.

And ultimately, it comes down to one thing: timing.

If useful information arrives after the outcome is determined, you have documentation.

If it arrives inside the Warning Window℠, you have an opportunity to change the outcome.

In this blog, we're breaking down the four layers required to move from passive visibility toward active prevention and what that shift could mean operationally for fleets.

A great couple of days connecting, learning, and sharing ideas at TMC!

We were glad to spend Monday and Tuesday alongside industry peers, catching up with familiar faces and making new connections. A special highlight was seeing Glynn take the stage to share his expertise and perspective with attendees.

And, of course, there’s no better way to close things out than celebrating the people and accomplishments that continue to move the industry forward at the awards banquet. 🏆

Thank you to everyone who helped make TMC such a worthwhile experience. We’re heading home with great conversations, fresh ideas, and plenty to build on.

Until next time, TMC!

A system can recognize everything around a truck and still have no idea what is about to go wrong.

That distinction matters.

In a busy yard, there may be dozens of objects around a tractor-trailer. Most of them aren't threats. The challenge isn't simply detecting what's there. It's knowing which one matters. And with a tractor-trailer, that prediction gets complicated fast.

A tractor and trailer don't follow a single path. Articulation changes continuously. The trailer off-tracks. Corners sweep. An object that posed no threat seconds ago can suddenly be in the vehicle's projected path.

That's why we believe collision prevention is fundamentally a prediction problem.

It's not enough to know what's around the truck right now. The system needs to understand where the truck is going, where the objects around it are going, and whether those paths are about to converge. That ability to anticipate what is likely to happen next is what begins to create the Warning Window™: more time for a professional driver to recognize a developing risk and act before contact occurs.

That's what we explore in our latest article, Collision Prevention Is a Prediction Problem: https://visionwise.ai/insights/b/collision-prevention-is-a-prediction-problem

Implementing vehicle-based camera systems involves much more than selecting the right technology.

At TMC in Pittsburgh, Glynn Spangenberg will present the Recommended Practices for Fleets Implementing Vehicle-Based Camera Systems, with industry-developed guidance covering:

• System selection
• Installation
• Driver training
• Vehicle operation
• Maintenance

The goal is practical: help fleets effectively evaluate, implement, operate, and maintain vehicle-based camera systems as the technology continues to evolve.

Glynn will present Monday from 10:00–11:00 a.m. during the S.4 Cab & Controls track.

Planning to attend? Registration for the TMC Fall Meeting and in-person attendance are required to access the session and observe the task force deliberations. Register through the TMC Fall Meeting website, then join us Monday morning in Pittsburgh.

We look forward to connecting with the TMC community while we’re there.

For decades, commercial vehicle visibility has largely worked the same way: give the driver a view and rely on them to interpret it.

But a professional driver doesn’t need the same information in every situation. What matters at highway speed is different from what matters during a blind-side turn, a backing maneuver, or while navigating a crowded yard.

That’s the idea behind software-defined visibility.

Instead of treating visibility as a fixed camera view, the system can adapt to the vehicle’s speed, maneuver, environment, surrounding objects, and changing spatial relationships.

The goal isn’t more video for the driver to process. It’s more relevant awareness when it matters, with capabilities that can continue to improve through software over time.

That idea points to a larger shift in commercial vehicle safety. Seeing more is valuable, but seeing alone doesn’t prevent a collision. The opportunity is to understand what matters, anticipate what may happen next, and give the driver an opportunity to change the outcome.

Fleets are no longer simply asking, “Can we see more?”

They’re asking, “Can we prevent more?”

Ultimately, that’s the standard that matters.

In Software-Defined Visibility: How Fleets Turn Awareness Into Action, Glynn Spangenberg explores what changes when visibility moves beyond fixed views and becomes an intelligent, adaptable part of collision prevention.

Today, we recognize the people whose work keeps our communities, businesses, and economy moving every day.

For those of us in trucking, that gratitude runs especially deep.

Professional drivers spend their days doing work most people rarely see, navigating crowded roads, tight facilities, changing conditions, long hours, and the responsibility that comes with operating some of the largest vehicles on the road.

And behind every truck is an entire network of technicians, dispatchers, fleet teams, warehouse workers, safety professionals, and countless others making the movement of goods possible.

At VisionWise, the work we do starts with respect for the people doing that job.

This Labor Day, we’re grateful for all of you.

Happy Labor Day from VisionWise.
