Designed to deliver first notice of loss (FNOL) to fleet operators within seconds, CrashBoxx enhances RAC Connected by automatically identifying collisions as they occur and immediately preserving critical telematics and video data. This allows fleet operators, insurers, and support teams to respond faster, protect drivers, and reduce the cost and complexity associated with post‑incident investigations.

CrashBoxx continuously analyses high‑resolution motion data from CalAmp telematics devices, applying proprietary AI models trained on millions of historical incidents to verify and classify crash events. Unlike systems that rely solely on threshold‑based alerts, CrashBoxx uses contextual intelligence to reduce false positives and provide accurate insight into the severity and nature of an incident.

Fleet operators can now enable CrashBoxx within RAC Connected to access:
