Driver safety

Alert rules for driver safety monitoring: harsh driving, car crashes, ADAS warnings, fatigue and distracted driving alerts, SOS button presses, and fall detection.

This section covers the alert rules that monitor driver and vehicle safety events reported by GPS devices and video telematics hardware.

• ADAS warnings: Alerts from video telematics devices, including lane departure, forward collision, headway monitoring, pedestrian detection, and traffic sign recognition.

• Call button pressed: Notifies when the call button on a GPS device with a built-in call or radio function is pressed.

• Car crash detection: Detects vehicle collisions using the GPS device's accelerometer.

• Cruise control: Notifies when cruise control is switched on or off in a vehicle.

• Distracted driving: Detects distracted driving, such as phone use or smoking, using dash cams or GPS devices with cameras.

• Fall detection: Alerts when a personal GPS device detects a sudden fall.

• Fatigue driving: Detects signs of driver fatigue using GPS device cameras and sends dispatch alerts.

• Harsh driving: Alerts when a GPS device accelerometer detects harsh acceleration, braking, or sharp turns.

• Pressing SOS button: Sends an immediate alert when an SOS emergency button is pressed on a GPS device or personal tracker.

• Proximity monitoring: Monitors proximity between GPS-enabled devices and BLE tags using Bluetooth.
