Lytx says that 2024 saw a significant reduction in the more severe collision levels in the U.S. compared to 2023, despite a 24% increase in industry-wide collision rates.
The video telematics and fleet management platform provider’s 2025 Road Safety Report analyzed more than 300 billion miles (482.8 billion km) of driving data to reveal critical insights into road safety trends and emerging risks for commercial fleets.
Level 1 (highest severity) collisions saw a decrease of 6%, while Level 2 (moderate severity) collisions dropped by 59%, demonstrating improved driver safety through proactive coaching and technology, according to the report.
“Close calls” and near collisions increased, up 52% when comparing Q4 2024 to Q4 2023, as roads have become increasingly congested.
“Today’s fleets and drivers face rapidly changing risk environments,” Rajesh Rudraradhya, chief technology officer at Lytx, said in a news release. “To stay on top of these changes, managers need real-time data insights and advanced tools that can help them identify and address emerging risk patterns.”

PULSEPRO INSTALLATION GUIDE
THIS DEVICE COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
Collisions involving trucks happen more often and more quickly than you’d like or imagine. And when they do, your life and that of your loved ones become at risk. There are times when sudden braking simply cannot be avoided. But how would it feel to know that trucks ahead of you on the road will automatically give you extra warning when they’re braking? That extra second which the PulsePro pulsating light technology will provide you might be the one that will save a life…

WHAT IS THE PULSEPRO?
The PulsePro is a brake-activated pulsating light technology that mitigates the risk of rear-end collisions.
For decades, government, peer-reviewed and field studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of brake-activated pulsating lights located at the rear of a vehicle in mitigating the incidence of rear-end collisions. For almost as long, brake-activated pulsating light systems have been developed and marketed for cars and trucks. However, these systems are not ideal, either because of cost or non-compliance.
The PulsePro is the first application of its kind to use a trailer’s lighting system to generate a pulse when braking while remaining fully compliant with applicable regulations.
