PrePass Safety Alliance (PrePass), the nonprofit provider of the PrePass truck weigh station bypass service, unveiled that its PrePass MOTION app will now integrate with Geotab, giving qualified motor carriers an additional option to expand bypass opportunities and help improve fleet safety and efficiency.
The PrePass MOTION app uses a cellular connection to provide carriers with weigh station bypassing and in-vehicle driver safety alerts. Drivers will receive alerts indicating work zones ahead, gusty wind areas, steep grades and no commercial vehicle roads, among others.
“Geotab is committed to providing fleet owners and managers with customizable solutions that help address the specific needs of their fleet,” said Scott Sutarik, vice president of commercial motor vehicles at Geotab. “As such, we are proud to provide companies like PrePass with the flexibility to integrate with our open APIs to create customizable and high-class solutions. With an open platform approach, Geotab is helping to enable current and future partners to access our robust and dynamic ecosystem around the globe.”
Processing more than 40 billion data points each day, Geotab stated that it provides customers with the tools needed to monitor and optimize vehicle efficiencies, including fuel consumption, engine data, driver productivity and safety and hours of service.
“The integration of PrePass MOTION for Geotab customers provides seamless access to bypass and safety alerts through the Geotab Drive application,” said Mark Doughty, president and CEO of PrePass. “We are excited to offer this integration and help more carriers save time and fuel, while improving highway safety.”
As a bundled service, the PrePass MOTION bypass app includes the optional use of a radio-frequency identification transponder to provide for electronic toll payment services. Customers also receive access to INFORM Safety software to help assess safety performance and improve safety scores. INFORM provides inspection, violation and weigh station bypass data dashboards available only through PrePass.
