Program
. . . The Road Safety SafeForce™
Driving System encourages drivers
to become part of the solution, rather
than feeling they are a victim of
the process.
The RS-3000 SafeForce™ System
monitors and records unsafe vehicle
operating parameters such as speeding
and high vehicle g-forces caused by
rapid accelerations, hard decelerations
and high speed turns. The system provides
an audible warning as the driver approaches
an unsafe condition, allowing sufficient
time to take corrective action before
a crash occurs. If a driver ignores
system warnings, an exception report
is created so management may take
corrective action. The system also
creates database reports ranking driver
performance. These reports encourage
competition between groups of drivers
to drive safely, without excessive
vehicle forces. This interactive SafeForce™
training approach is a sure fire
way to prevent crashes and drastically
reduce fleet maintenance costs.
Our SafeForce™ Driving System
was developed over the last several
years in numerous ambulance fleets
across North America. Thanks to this
experience, including valuable input
from field management and paramedics
in these fleets, we have reached what
we call "product maturity". Our system
is effective, easy to manage and addresses
the numerous scenarios that can only
be learned through time and attention
to detail. This includes event reporting
of incidents such as unsafe backing,
driving without the seat belt fastened,
unauthorized entry of the drug box,
driving with the emergency brake on,
low idle speed with emergency lights
on, system tampering, improper vehicle
shut-down leading to premature turbo
failure and many other real life occurrences.
We believe our advanced RS-3000 On-Board
Computer Systems will pay for themselves
in less than two years. This is not
just talk. We have proven this statement
in fleets just like yours.
SafeForce™ Driving
Improves Patient Care
. . . SafeForce™ driving ensures
a suitable environment for administering
aid to patients being transported.
Road Safety adds value to your non-emergency
and emergency patient transportation
services. The SafeForce™
driving technique ensures a smooth
and stable environment allowing proper
patient treatment during transport.
Using our system demonstrates that
care and safety of the public being
served is your top priority.
Road Safety can be the deciding factor
when marketing your services, for
both emergency service contracts and
HMO scheduled non-emergency transports.
Road Safety reports also document
your outstanding patient care and
response times provided to current
customers.
SafeForce™ Driving
Prevents Crashes
. . . The prevention of just one
catastrophic crash can more than pay
for the cost of our system in your
entire fleet.
Our system doesn't just document why
a crash occurred, it helps prevent
the crash from happening in the first
place! Immediate audible feedback
warns drivers of excessive forces
(due to hard cornering , for example)
and over speeds. Drivers have the
opportunity and incentive to correct
their mistake before it results in
a crash. Our exception reports are
an early predictor of driver deficiencies.
This enables you to correct poor driving
habits, practices and attitudes before
they lead to a serious crash. We are
convinced our SafeForce™
Driving System will immediately improve
the safety of your employees and the
public they serve. Naturally, this
has the added benefit of drastically
reducing your insurance costs.
Some drivers report stress and fatigue
are greatly reduced with the SafeForce™
Driving System. For the first time
they have clear and understandable
vehicle operating parameters from
management, and immediate feedback
as to how they are performing.
Management also gets to see the driver's
performance. Road Safety's Driver
Grading Summary Report is the perfect
tool for supporting an employee incentive
or disciplinary program. This report
includes total performance for each
driver. For ambulance, police and
fire vehicles, we also give you the
ability to see how the driver's performance
may vary during emergency and non-emergency
situations.
SafeForce™ Driving
Reduces Fleet Maintenance Costs
. . . SafeForce™ driving drastically
reduces fleet maintenance and operating
costs.
Just as significantly, when your mechanics
aren't spending the majority of their
time on unnecessary repairs, they
have more time to keep up with their
scheduled maintenance duties. This
further reduces your costs and guarantees
safer fleet operations. The Road Safety
System software also has a maintenance
tracking feature. It tracks maintenance
services based on mileage, date, engine
hour or any combination of the three.
We also alert you when a service becomes
overdue.
Customers report that the SafeForce™
driving system pays for itself on
average within 8 to 24 months, in
savings from reduced maintenance costs
alone.
A maintenance work sheet developed
for one of our clients from information
given to us from their ambulance fleet
manager, identifies the types of savings
available (example available). He
estimated that annual maintenance
savings for his fleet averaged $1,364.71
per vehicle, and the fuel savings
per vehicle were anywhere between
$300.00 and $1,380.00 after installation
of our system. Although vehicle downtime
during maintenance and repairs is
costly for any fleet, it was not included
in this work sheet.
Also, the life expectancy of the ambulance
units in this report is 5 years. However,
it is important to note the durability
and modularity of the Road Safety
components allow you to transfer the
system to replacement ambulance units,
so your investment in equipment continues
to pay for itself well into the future.
SafeForce™ Driving
Serves As On-Going Driver Training
Program
. . . Road Safety reports and
driver feedback systems were designed
to support your driver training program.
Road Safety also offers EVOC (Emergency
Vehicle Operator Course) "train the
trainer" programs in Camarillo, California,
Bloomington, Indiana and Battle Creek,
Michigan. On site training is also
available at your facilities in your
vehicles. The immediate audible feedback
the system provides continues the
training process even in the absence
of the instructor.
Optional Systems
. . . The Road Safety System can
be configured to satisfy your changing
needs.
Road Safety will interface to Global
Positioning Systems (GPS), Automatic
Vehicle Location Systems (AVL), Computer
Aided Dispatch Systems (CAD), Video
Systems, VHF and UHF Radio Systems
and almost any other system that utilizes
RS-232 serial communications. Road
Safety provides the necessary "front
end" hardware and software, or we
will interface to your existing hardware.
We will be happy to discuss your special
system needs and requirements. Since
our On-Board Computer System is designed
to be modular in both software and
hardware, your system can be easily
upgraded at any time in the future
as your needs change.
