GETAC DRIVING SAFETY UTILITY

Driver distraction is one of the leading causes of road collisions

In-vehicle technology can be distracting, which is why there are laws in most countries prohibiting their use while driving.

Although driver assistance systems, such as autonomous braking and blind spot assist, has improved road safety, driver distraction is still seen as a bigger threat than any other.

You need to be just as careful in the workplace

Forklift trucks are essential to warehouse and logistics operations, but for those who work alongside the associated health and safety risks are high.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), there are roughly 34,900 serious injuries each year in the US due to forklift accidents. Once again, the leading cause is operator distraction.

Dual Mode Motion Sensitivity, with Smart Docking

The Dual Mode Support feature utilizes the built-in motion sensor to detect motion for Indoor Mode, then automatically switches to Outdoor Mode when a GPS signal is detected.

This feature is particularly useful when loading/unloading vehicles using a forklift truck, or on journeys that include tunnels and other structures or terrain that may impact on GPS signal strength whilst driving.

The Smart Docking feature allows for the screen blanking functionality to be enabled when the device is docked in-vehicle, then automatically disabled when the device is undocked for field operation.

Designated APP in Motion

Appreciating that some businesses rely on driver assistance software such as satellite navigation and locational services, the Designated APP in Motion feature permits an administrator to select applications that can be launched when in motion.

With multiple language support the solution is ideally suited to multinational organizations.
