DriveCam Inc. Introduces First Cellular and Web-Based Platform for Driver Risk Management Clients

DriveCam Inc. is now able to serve the long-haul trucking market due to the availability of new deployment options for its behavior-based risk mitigation solution, including cellular and Wi-Fi delivery with a Web-based interface.  The first Driver Risk Management company to offer cellular upload to fleets, DriveCam can service fleets who were previously unable to take advantage of daily upload and review due to remote upload locales and lack of frequency with which their drivers return to home bases.

Public Works and Safety

Public works officials and employees are being honored May 20-27, 2007 during National Public Works Week.  In the spirit of this recognition, the editors of “In the Driver’s Seat” are highlighting public works and the impact safe driving can have in this industry.

Public works is services, management and improvements offered by the local, state or federal governments on behalf of a community for the public good.  It encompasses a wide range of services, including water purification systems, sewage treatment centers, roads, bridges and highways infrastructure, transit systems, waterways, hospitals, schools and utilities.  Services offered can range from city-to-city, community-to-community.
