REI Adds Driver Monitoring, Route Optimization
The software enhancements are designed to increase safety and provide cost savings for fleet operators, according to the supplier.
OMAHA, Neb. — Radio Engineering Industries (REI) has added driver monitoring and route optimization to its software solutions.
According to the supplier, the software enhancements are designed to increase safety and provide cost savings for fleet operators.
REI’s routing software uses a cellular connection to identify if a bus is off route or running late. Past routes can be optimized to save time and fuel by automatically generating the most efficient path available, according to the company.
REI’s driver monitoring software can be used to observe video events with the goal of improving and adjusting driver performance and behavior. The software’s RFID technology provides identification of drivers and creates a single-page report to track their progress.
Both software solutions are customizable to fit specific needs. Automatic alerts can be configured for events of importance, such as a late bus or driving over 65 mph, so that immediate action can be taken.
REI’s new software solutions can be combined with existing A.R.M.O.R. software extensions. For more information, go to www.radioeng.com.
