Improve driver safety and reduce vehicle maintenance costs.
Drivers sometimes confuse getting on-scene quickly and safely with getting there at any cost. The result is intersection crashes, rearend collisions and backing incidents. Add to this a false sense of security created when running emergency lights and sirens that other drivers either don’t see, don’t hear, or just ignore, and you have an accident waiting to happen. With RescueNet Road Safety drivers are aware of the environment around them and anticipate, in advance, what can or will happen next.
With the RescueNet Road Safety on-board driver modification system, driving parameters such as speed, rate of acceleration and deceleration and how the vehicle is driven while cornering are all part of the driver grading system. If the driver operates the vehicle outside acceptable ranges of these parameters, they hear an immediate audio warning to take corrective action. This gives drivers a clear understanding of what management expects, and allows them to monitor and instantly correct their own driving performance.
Management can monitor driver behavior and provide appropriate training on areas needing improvement. When fleet management focuses their attention on safety, other critical areas such as vehicle availability, maintenance costs, operational costs and labor relations realize tremendous benefits. RescueNet Road Safety is utilized on a wide range of emergency response vehicles and equipment including ambulances, fire trucks, police cars and airport crash rescue equipment.
