US driving performance solutions provider 639 SmartDrive Systems has added active safety system data elements to its SmartDrive Safety program via direct integration to its data and video event recording platform. This integration expands the capabilities of the SmartDrive platform by capturing data generated from a carrier’s third-party active safety systems and intelligently determining the difference between a high-risk and low-risk event.
Active safety systems, such as collision avoidance, lane departure, roll-over protection and antilock braking, have proven their effectiveness for fleets that invest in these technologies. However, this information is often not readily accessible. In addition, when these systems engage, the volumes of data they generate make it nearly impossible for fleets to use that information without significant investment of time and resources.
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. With an open and extensible platform, SmartDrive works with the most broadly deployed active safety systems on the market, including Meritor-4319 Wabco, 737 Bendix and 4279 Mobileye.
“We believe our open platform approach represents the direction fleets want vehicle technology to head by helping them understand how their investments are performing and interacting together to improve safety versus the fragmented view of data they have today. 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.
