ORLANDO, FL. SmartDrive Systems announced the addition of active safety system data elements to its SmartDrive Safety program at the American Trucking Assns.’ Annual Management Conference & Exhibition here yesterday. The system now provides fleets with a single view of high-risk incidents that includes play-by-play observations, before- and after-event video, data from active safety systems, engine and vehicle data, plus vehicle location and G-force.
SmartDrive’s open system works with the most broadly deployed active safety systems on the market, including Meritor-Wabco, Bendix and Mobileye. According to the company, identifying and isolating risky events and combining them with onboard video, audio, and vehicle data into a unified view enables fleets to quickly turn that information into effective driver coaching, reducing the risk of future collisions.
“SmartDrive is a powerful compliment to active safety technology, unlocking hidden value by saving fleets’ time and improving their return on investments,” said Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive Systems. “For the first time, a unified, video-based view of active safety data brings clarity to what matters, eliminating the need to search through lists of no-risk events and use that information efficiently to lower the risk of future collisions. This integration represents a major step forward in helping fleets take full advantage of the data their technology equipped vehicles are generating.”
Instant email alerts notify fleet managers of safety events as they happen on the road and are available for review via the SmartDrive streamed-video Event Player. The system ‘intelligently’ isolates safety events from system warnings by placing key safety ‘Compound Rules’ into its triggering algorithms.
