73 Iteris, has announced an agreement with 213 Qualcomm to deliver safety data to trucking fleets. The data will be captured by Iteris’ Lane Departure Warning systems and Meritor Wabco’s SmartTrac and OnGuard active safety systems via Qualcomm’s Mobile Computing Platform 100 and 200 series.

The solution by Iteris, Meritor Wabco, and Qualcomm provides a single point of access to synchronise and review driver performance data on braking events, stability control events, following distances, and lane-departure warnings for individual drivers as well as the entire fleet. It uses information transmitted from the vehicle by the fleet’s mobile computing platform to provide fleet operators with comprehensive fleet-wide safety summaries, and the ability to drill down to detailed information on individual drivers and events. The solution enhances Qualcomm’s analytics manager service, which takes data from numerous sources and converts it into actionable information by leveraging easy-to-use visual tools such as dashboards, graphs, and tables. The result is a holistic view into a fleet’s operational and safety performance, and the ability to make timelier and more informed business decisions.

“Iteris’ SafetyDirect is an ideal complement to Qualcomm’s extensive suite of safety services,” stated Norm Ellis, vice president of sales, services, and marketing of Qualcomm Enterprise Services. “Iteris and Meritor Wabco possess unique, high value truck safety data, which can help further enhance the comprehensive safety profile for Qualcomm’s fleet customers.”
