Highway safety is a critical concern for transportation agencies, as traffic crashes and fatalities continue to rise.
As technology advances, agencies are increasingly leveraging connected vehicle approaches to bolster their transportation safety programs and enhance road safety.
Now with Smart Roadways, agencies can extend their transportation safety programs into the cabs of commercial motor vehicles – a market historically underserved by connected vehicle technology.
With Smart Roadways, agencies can monitor and assess changes in alerted drivers’ behavior, including changes in speed and hard braking events, to assess the success of their safety programs. In previous deployments, research has shown that 25% of drivers slow down within 30 seconds of receiving an alert, with additional studies currently underway.
To make these alerts accessible to the entire trucking industry, Drivewyze offers these agency sponsored Smart Roadways alerts, along with a selection of Drivewyze provided alerts, at no cost to fleets and commercial truck drivers through the Drivewyze Free app. And as the connected truck network grows, so does your program reach and impact.
