Technology Solutions Inc., a global provider of telematics, fleet
management and driver safety solutions announced its
customers have improved seat belt use by 88 percent on average. Using inthinc waySmart®, a comprehensive fleet management and
safe driving solution, fleet managers are able to accurately monitor seat belt
use of any fleet or vehicle and provide real-time alerts to drivers.
“One of the most common excuses we hear from drivers who
fail to wear a seat belt, is they simply forgot,” said Josh Moore, Cintas Corp. project manager. “With inthinc in the
vehicle reminding drivers to buckle up, there really is no excuse and so
drivers are complying with our seat belt policy more frequently.”
Using waySmart’s In-Cab Real-Time Verbal Coaching
technology, drivers are alerted when performing an unsafe driving
behavior—including not wearing a seat belt—and given a 15-second grace period
to comply. Violations not corrected within the grace period are wirelessly
reported to the acting fleet manager via the web-based inthinc.com Management
Portal. Using the data provided in the portal, managers can quickly identify
their safe drivers and those in need of additional training. inthinc’s new seat
belt click monitoring capability will also allow managers to identify how many
times a seat belt is engaged each day, ensuring drivers are using the seat belt
appropriately at all times.
“The seat belt is a life-saving tool and we want our
customers to have all the data necessary to ensure their drivers are using them
correctly,” inthinc CTO, Corey Catten said. “Thousands of lives are saved every
year because of seat belts and we are committed to saving more with our
technology.”
inthinc waySmart is designed to safe guard lives while also
improving fleet efficiency and regulatory compliance. In addition to seat belt
monitoring, waySmart driver safety solutions also include:
- · In-Cab Verbal Coaching for Speeding and Aggressive Driving
