PeopleNet expanded its Lane Departure Warning integration network with the addition of new partners Takata (which makes SafeTrak) and Mobileye.


Programmed to recognize the difference between the road and lane markings, lane departure warning systems alerts drivers who are drifting out of a lane. The SafeTrak and Mobileye systems consist of a small, integrated unit with a camera, onboard computer and software, which easily attaches to the windshield, dashboard or into the overhead console of a vehicle.

With the PeopleNet Lane Departure integration, fleet managers have visibility to all lane departure events and can proactively use this data to identify individual driver trends that may need corrective coaching attention.

Takata SafeTraK and Mobileye join Iteris as PeopleNet-certified partners.

"Offering our customers a broad choice of providers helps mitigate one of the major cause of highway fatalities -- lane departure due to drowsy, fatigued or distracted drivers," said Vice President of Product Management Matt Voda. "Fleets using a warning system report a 75 percent average decrease in truck lane-departure accidents."
