Introducing the E-SMART Seat Belt, a cutting-edge innovation by E-SMART that utilizes Dynamic Speed Management technology. Customizable for fleets, this revolutionary seat belt detects if the driver is not wearing it and automatically limits or slows the vehicle to a predetermined speed.

Joe Thell, senior vice president at E-SMART, expressed the importance of this technology in light of recent statistics revealing that a significant percentage of drivers involved in fatal crashes were not wearing seat belts. He stated, “When asked by fleets to help solve this problem, we knew that our technology could make a difference in encouraging drivers to wear their seat belts.”

Key Takeaways:

– E-SMART Seat Belt effectively addresses seat belt non-compliance in various circumstances, including general driving, speed-controlled geofenced zones, and instances of malfunction or removal during vehicle operation.
– Utilizing advanced positioning technology, the E-SMART system accurately determines vehicle locations in real-time, enabling fleets to manage and customize vehicle speeds according to posted limits through the E-SMART customer portal.
– The system communicates with the truck’s onboard computer to regulate the throttle, integrating seamlessly with onboard telematics units to provide drivers with verbal notifications and an enhanced user experience.

This innovative solution from E-SMART offers fleets a comprehensive and flexible approach to promoting driver safety and compliance with seat belt regulations.
