SmartDrive Named as a 2017 Finalist in BIG Awards for Business
SmartSense Intelligence Suite Recognized as a New Product of the Year in Top Business Awards Program
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartDrive Systems, a leader in video-based safety and transportation intelligence, today announced its SmartSense™ Intelligence Suite is a finalist in the Business Intelligence Group's BIG Awards for Business New Product of the Year category. The annual BIG Awards program was launched to reward companies, products and people that are leading their respective industries.
SmartDrive SmartSense is a new line of intelligent driver assist sensors designed to identify distracted driving at the root cause. The first sensor in the SmartSense suite, SmartSense for Distracted Driving, detects when a driver is distracted or inattentive and triggers a video recording based on driver behavior alone. The sensor uses infrared sensors to capture distraction and alerts fleet managers so they can prioritize review and risk scoring accordingly. SmartSense for Distracted Driving merges sensor, vehicle and environmental data to create a convergence of information that better equips fleets for a more autonomous-focused world.
"We are truly honored SmartSense has been recognized as a new product of the year in this year's BIG Awards for Business," said Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive. "As the industry is continuing to move toward autonomous vehicles and smart infrastructures, it is more important than ever that we tap advanced technologies to improve driver and fleet safety. SmartDrive is in a unique position to combine these sensors with our video-based solutions to provide fleet managers the most complete view of what happens in the truck and on the road."
"Our winners this year show how the level of creativity, sheer persistence and innovation drives business results," said Maria Jimenez, chief nomination officer of the Business Intelligence Group. "We are so proud of all of the winners and finalists. This is truly a special group."
