National campaign is aimed at developing
solutions to reduce serious injuries and create a future with zero
roadway fatalities
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWFL) today announced it
has joined a U.S. Department of Transportation initiative to reduce
the rising number of serious injuries and deaths on America's
highways, roads, and streets. The National Road Safety Strategy
(NRSS) Call to Action campaign encourages leading
organizations to advance their efforts to create a future with zero
roadway fatalities.
The U.S. has seen a sobering 29% increase
in trucking-related fatalities over the past decade.
Powerfleet is committed to eliminating roadway incidents through
the deployment of its fleet intelligence platform, Unity, data
science, and SaaS solutions to mitigate unsafe driving habits
across enterprise vehicle fleets that transport goods and carry
passengers across the country every day.
"The safety of drivers, passengers, and fleets has always been
our top priority, and Powerfleet is fully dedicated to developing
AI-led technology to reduce the number of injuries and deaths on
America's roads," said Steve Towe,
Powerfleet's Chief Executive Officer. "We are proud to partner with
the Department of Transportation and other safety focused
organizations to transform how we as a nation address road
safety."
Powerfleet's Unity platform integrates speed and seat belt
status alongside accelerometer-based data including harsh
acceleration, braking, and cornering to deliver advanced insights
and trigger safety alerts through advanced data intelligence. Fleet
managers can leverage real-time monitoring to incentivize safe
driving habits with rewards and identify coaching opportunities for
low-performing drivers. Pairing this real-time data stream with
dual-facing dashcams, Powerfleet provides drivers with instant
feedback on distracted or unsafe operations to create safer driving
habits.
