SmartDrive Reveals Technology Advances Demonstrating up to 15% Fuel Efficiency and up to 50% in Collision Reduction

SmartDrive uses a combination of video analysis and predictive analytics to provide fleets complete insight into safety and fuel waste. A personalized training program arms fleets with a team of experts who review performance, identify key areas of focus and recommend safety and fuel efficiency improvements. Using a combination of online services and in-cab tools, fleets can immediately realize sustained, consistent improvements in driving performance and skills.

“SmartDrive has developed a game-changing approach to improving safety and fuel use,” said SmartDrive CEO Steve Mitgang. “With the growing numbers of trucking fleets achieving dramatic material results using the SmartDrive driving improvement platform – up to a 50% collision reduction and up to 15% increase in fuel efficiency – our customers are saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in operating expenses annually, while protecting their drivers and the motoring public.”

Building on its industry-leading platform, SmartDrive releases several new features at the American Trucking Associations’ annual Management Conference & Exhibit in Las Vegas:

• SmartDrive Mobile: real-time access for drivers to individual vehicle and driver performance data for self-assessment and peer-to-peer competitive standings.
• Enhanced Video Analysis: detailed operator and vehicle performance data plus instant video of fuel-wasting maneuvers and events — includes throttle, brake, RPM, and engine load information as well as excessive idling, idling with Power Take Off and trip stops.
• Crash Triggered Events: sensors that report crash data up to 96G’s, which allows fleets to instantly access crash event videos — providing fleets with unequivocal proof of driver exoneration and immediate response to insurance claims processing — an industry first in combining video data in a driving performance solution.
