RescueNet Road Safety driver modification system makes ambulances and other emergency vehicles safer and reduces operating costs by focusing on safer, smoother driving.
Safer emergency driving: Road Safety’s real-time driver monitoring and feedback system alerts drivers to unsafe operation such as speeding, rapid acceleration, hard braking and high-speed turns. Instead of “racing to the rescue,” Road Safety encourages drivers to operate smoothly and safely. In many cases, safer driving actually results in lower response times.
Crash prevention: A single crash can cause injuries or death, take an essential vehicle off the road for extended periods, increase insurance rates, cost thousands in repairs, damage your organization’s reputation, and have other unwanted consequences. Road Safety reduces crash risk by reducing unsafe driving—giving drivers the chance to correct risky driving before it leads to a crash.
Better patient care: A smoother ride means a better environment for patient care. It also reduces a patient’s stress and fear during transport.
Reduced maintenance and operating costs: From fuel to brake pads, tires and more, SafeForce driving drastically reduces fleet maintenance and operating costs.
Incident reporting: Years of experience with ambulance providers have resulted in exclusive features including event reporting of incidents such as
• unsafe backing
• driving without the seat belt fastened
• unauthorized drug-box entry
• driving with the emergency brake on
• low idle speed with emergency lights on
• system tampering
• improper vehicle shutdown
• and many others
Reduced fatigue: Some emergency responders report that fatigue and stress are greatly reduced with Road Safety’s SafeForce system. For the first time, they have clear and understandable vehicle operating parameters, with immediate feedback to let them know they’re driving safely.
Management awareness: The Road Safety Driver Grading Summary Report is a powerful tool for supporting an employee incentive or disciplinary program. The report includes a total performance profile for each driver, along with the ability to see how the driver’s performance differs during emergency and non-emergency driving.
