Theft and security problems have increased recently in the transport sector. To ensure the safety of your drivers and assets, here are some tips for you:
Real-time location of the vehicle and cargo
The safety of vehicles and drivers is a priority for any company. With Geocar software you can locate your vehicles and drivers in real time through any device. This allows, for example, in a dangerous situation, to immediately locate the vehicle and even remotely provide assistance to the driver and guarantee the recovery of vehicles in the event of theft, robbery or carjacking.
Panic Button
The Panic Button is a simple and practical mechanism that allows you to call for help when the driver is in an emergency situation. Installed discreetly, it is glued to the vehicle's dashboard so that when pressed, it emits an alert.
Driving and rest times
Fatigue is a risk factor for road safety, and in the case of drivers this factor becomes even more severe. Respecting rest and driving times in heavy vehicles is, therefore, very important, otherwise some risk situations will worsen, such as: reduced reaction capacity, reduced peripheral vision and increased deconcentration.
For this topic there is a control device called a tachograph – it consists of a sealed device for controlling speed, distances travelled, driving and rest times.
Defensive driving
We couldn't talk about safety without introducing the concept of defensive driving.It is about driving in a way that prevents, avoids or does not cause any accident regardless of traffic conditions, weather, the vehicle, and the behavior of other drivers or pedestrians.
Preventive maintenance & Active and passive safety
Preventive maintenance refers to an action planned and carried out regardless of the condition of the vehicle, in order to avoid damage and mitigate losses arising from its unusability. Adopting a periodic maintenance routine is an extremely important factor in reducing polluting gases.
Always having your tires inflated or changing the air filter are some examples of preventive actions that drastically reduce pollutant emissions, for example changing a damaged air filter can reduce emissions by 40%.
The proactive implementation of active and passive vehicle safety systems also plays a key role in safety.
