SmartDrive Launches Expansion to On-board Video Safety System

SmartDrive Systems announced the introduction of SmartDrive Assurance for Transit, an extension to its on-board video safety system for transit agencies.

Available now, SmartDrive Assurance for Transit includes enhanced capabilities architected specifically for transit agencies' entire fleets of vehicles, such as extended event recording, integration with on-board active safety systems and the ability to integrate with third and fourth cameras on the vehicle – a first for a video-based safety program serving the transit industry. SmartDrive's new solution provides more comprehensive capture of safety events on transit vehicles of any type including buses, paratransit vehicles, shuttles and vans, giving agencies faster insights into risk and better tools to protect passengers and the public.

"SmartDrive Assurance for Transit has an open, flexible platform to address the specific safety challenges agencies face carrying the public," said Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive. "Our top priority with Assurance was to provide complete integration with on-board systems, especially those that help agencies avoid pedestrian-related safety events. This, combined with the adaptability of the open platform, ensures that Assurance meets all of the unique camera, integration and safety requirements of every agency – today and over the life of their investment."
