Safety in Motion
Driver distraction is a major factor in road traffic accidents, with many studies showing that a high proportion of accidents involve distracted driving to some degree. Even drivers of other vehicles can be distracted by display devices that are visible in your own vehicle.
Many national road safety bodies identify the use of mobile phones as a major factor in accidents. In-vehicle computer displays present many of the same distraction dangers, drawing the driver's attention away from the road.
The subject is gaining State and Federal level attention, as shown by the US Transportation Secretary announcing a Distracted Driver Summit and associated safe driving intitiatives.
Protect Yourself
Blank-IT enables the driver to access a list of 'allowable' programs (such as navigation aids, reversing camera displays and despatch or scheduling systems) whilst immobilising all other computer options when the vehicle is in motion.
By limiting the functionality of computers whilst the vehicle is moving, Blank-IT helps reduce visual distractions, improving employee safety and potentially reducing costs associated with accidents.
Protect Your Employees
Legislation and Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) guidelines regarding use of in-vehicle computers and display equipment will get stricter in future.
The Blank-IT Distracted Driver solution can assist in preparing your fleet for any tightening of these regulations, and at the same time help to improve employee safety and potentially reduce your accident related costs.
Driver Distraction
On Road, On Site, Anywhere
Blank-IT's Motion Sensor technology offers an accurate, reliable and independent method of monitoring vehicle movement without reliance on GPS input, which can be patchy and un-reliable in built-up or remote areas.
For other environments, Blank-IT's cable solution is ideal.
Blank-IT may also be applicable in other transport environments where laptop or computer use needs to be restricted - Contact Us with any specific enquiries.
