Jun 7, 2007, 12:00PM
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – DriveCam Inc., a global Driver Risk Management company, today announced that the State of California Department of General Services (DGS) has awarded the company a California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) contract (3-07-70-2414A) through December 31, 2011. The contract makes it easier for state and local agencies to purchase and deploy DriveCam's behavior-based risk mitigation solution across fleets.
DriveCam helps government agencies and commercial enterprises predict and prevent actual risky driving behaviors likely to result in collisions. DriveCam's exception-based video event recorder is mounted on the windshield behind the rearview mirror and captures sights and sounds inside and outside the vehicle. Exceptional forces (e.g. hard braking, swerving, collision, etc.) cause the recorder to save the critical seconds immediately before and after the triggered event. Saved events are analyzed and used in ongoing driver coaching programs to improve behavior and mitigate driver risk.
"We're proud to have met the DGS requirements for a California Multiple Award Schedule contract and are pleased to facilitate the process for state and local agencies to procure DriveCam's behavior-based risk mitigation solution and services," said David Blackledge, director of government business at DriveCam.
