AI implementation for driver monitoring in Brazil

Overview

The use of artificial intelligence to monitor driver behavior and prevent accidents is expanding in Brazil. Initially, fleet operators began adopting intelligent dashcams equipped with edge-computing to detect real-time issues such as fatigue, distraction, or mobile phone use. This technology aims to address the high rate of human error, which the Federal Highway Police noted accounted for 42% of incidents on federal highways in 2024.

This technological trend has moved into public highway enforcement, particularly in São Paulo. Concessionaires such as Cart and Ecovias Raposo Castello are deploying AI-powered high-definition cameras on major routes like the Raposo Tavares and Castello Branco highways. These systems operate 24 hours a day to identify infractions including seatbelt violations and cellphone use, with images being integrated with the Military Highway Police for validation and fining.
