smartZones Fleet Management and Safety System

inthinc Technology Solutions Inc. has released an updated version of smartZones—an enhanced GPS-based technology that allows fleet managers to draw boundaries around customized regions for easier fleet administration and safety monitoring.

• Enables fleet managers to assign specific attributes within a created zone that map to their companies’ safety policies— including speed limits, seat belt use and aggressive driving 
• Allows fleet managers to create speed limits for various parts of work area if operating in a region with no defined speed limits
• In-cab verbal notification tells drivers to slow down if they exceed the assigned speed limit
• Drivers may also receive verbal alerts for excessive idling, or upon entering or exiting a caution zone or hazardous area
• Provides automated text or email alerts to fleet managers if an accident or other dangerous activity occurs within the defined area
• Seatbelt Use alerts drivers when their seatbelt is not fastened
• Caution Area Alert alerts drivers when they are approaching a hazardous area
• Zone Arrival/Departure Alerts notify fleet manager when drivers enter or exit a defined zone
• Driver Behavior Alerts provides safety alerts for hard turns, hard braking or hard dips within a zone
• Free-form drawing tool enables users to create smartZone boundaries without being constrained by having to work with only circles or square shapes
• Allows creation of any number of smartZones to monitor
• Provides regional or individual driver scorecards, in-cab verbal coaching, GPS and trips reporting, electronic hours-of-service logs and more
• All information managed from the web-based inthinc.com management portal 
• Helps reduce fleet-wide speeding by over 80% within the first month of using the system
