Island Tech Services (ITS) Helps Reduce Preventable Driver Errors, Accidents and Fatalities

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleet managers know their professional drivers, including first responders, firefighters and EMS workers, as well as short- and long-haul freight drivers, can fall victim to driving accidents and fatalities just like non-professional drivers. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says 94 percent of vehicle collisions involve driver error and are largely preventable. To assist its fleet-management customers, Island Tech Services (ITS) (www.itsg.us.com), a leading provider of advanced technology, mobility and vehicle solutions, is now offering a comprehensive fleet safety solution incorporating, real-time driver monitoring and coaching designed to reduce crashes, protect lives, improve driver retention and enhance operations while saving money. Fleet managers are encouraged to contact ITS for a ride-along demonstration of our fleet safety solution by visiting https://itsg.us.com/contact-us/ or contacting us directly at [email protected] or 888.615.2770. 

Experts agree that a comprehensive program to reduce professional driver accidents requires more than simply monitoring and reacting after the fact to driver behavior, it requires real-time intervention and assistance to correct unsafe driving behaviors that lead to accidents, fines and higher insurance risks. 

"Our core customers are involved in life-saving and often dangerous activities every day. These activities can sometimes take drivers' focus off the road and lead to accidents or fatalities of team members or civilians," says Robert Gronenthal, CEO and Partner at ITS. "By deploying a specifically designed combination of technology with active training to fleets and drivers, we can help save lives, reduce injuries and minimize costs associated with accidents."

ITS has recently partnered with ORBCOMM, a global provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, to offer ORBCOMM's driver mentoring and fleet safety technology, a real-time fleet safety solution designed to detect unsafe driver behavior and provide pertinent verbal coaching before a crash or fineable offense occurs. The ORBCOMM solution combines in-vehicle monitoring devices, a dedicated mobile connection, comprehensive cloud-based application, and optional backup satellite support. It integrates with sensors and mobile applications such as driver ID, panic button, driver fatigue monitoring systems and lane departure with collision avoidance solutions.
