One Of The Country’s Largest Fleets Soon To Feature Camera-Based Safety System For Accident Prevention And Mitigation
Los Angeles - June 21, 2011 – Mobileye, Inc., the market leader in
driver safety systems and collision prevention and mitigation technologies,
today announced it was selected by Dart Transit
Co. to equip its fleet of over-the-road trucks with Mobileye’s
collision avoidance system.
Mobileye’s system features forward collision warning,
headway monitoring warning, and lane departure warning capabilities, each
helping alert drivers to potentially dangerous situations. With
high-intensity, color-coded visual icons and audible alerts, the Mobileye
system reinforces safe driving habits like turn signal usage, proper following
distance and situational awareness, reducing the occurrence of accidents and
related costs.
“Safety and customer service are Dart’s two top priorities,”
said Gary Volkman, Vice President of Safety Compliance for Dart Transit
Co. “After conducting research, we found Mobileye’s technology gave our
independent contractors the tools to take safe driving to the next level.
We believe Mobileye will help our drivers leave a safe following distance,
maintain lane position and avoid distractions, making the roads safer for every
driver as we provide our customers reliable service.”
Based on the same technology employed today by automakers
worldwide, Mobileye’s system is a modern, comprehensive,
single camera-based safety solution. The technology has generated
widespread industry acclaim and is being adopted by many major fleets for its
ability to reduce roadway incidents.
“Given that nearly 80 percent of crashes are due to
distracted driving three seconds before an accident, Dart Transit made the
decision to equip its fleet with our technology. We applaud their
investment in prioritizing safety on the nation’s roadways,” stated Skip
Kinford, Mobileye, Inc. CEO. “This technology not only improves
safety for drivers and for those sharing the road, but our analysis has shown
that our customers have enjoyed a very impressive return on investment.”
The Mobileye system employs a smart camera powered by the
company’s proprietary chipset and algorithm, a speaker for audible alerts, and
an unobtrusive and compact dash-mounted display for communication of visual
alerts to the driver.
