SmartDrive Introduces Multi-tiered Video Protection System

SmartDrive Systems, a leader in driving performance solutions designed to reduce collisions and improve fuel efficiency, has announced the introduction of the SmartDrive SmartChoice Program, a video-based safety program that provides fleets the freedom to choose the level of video protection that best aligns with their specific business priorities and needs.  

Whether the company’s primary objective is exonerating drivers from frivolous claims, protecting every driver by capturing and coaching risk or preventing collisions with 360 degree visibility to risk, SmartDrive’s SmartChoice Program offers a product line to meet each fleet’s distinct requirements.

Noted Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive, “We understand that a video safety program needs to fit the culture of the individual fleet. With three video-safety product lines and our distinctive open platform, SmartDrive’s SmartChoice Program lets fleets decide what they need, how best to deploy video within their operation and when the time is right to scale their investment, by moving up to a more comprehensive solution as their requirements expand.”

With the SmartDrive SmartChoice program, fleets can choose from among three product lines:

• SmartDrive Shield—a road-facing only camera combined with on-demand video offload and easy-to-use review workflow;
• SmartDrive Defender—up to two camera configuration offers road-facing and cab views, with automatic video offload, risk scoring and integrated coaching;
• SmartDrive Assurance—deployment of up to four cameras enables a 360 degree view of the vehicle and insight to the most frequent causes of collisions—such as U-turns, backing, unintended lane changes, roll-overs and close following
