SmartDrive Systems, a provider of driving performance systems for reducing collisions and improving fuel efficiency, announced the option for fleets to deploy a single-camera, light version of its video-based safety system.

The option is one of several now included in its SmartDrive SmartChoice Program where fleets have the freedom to choose the level of video protection that best aligns with their specific business priorities and needs.

SmartDrive made the announcement during the American Trucking Associations’ annual Management Conference and Exhibition in Philadelphia, Oct. 17-19.

If a fleet’s primary objective is exonerating their drivers from frivolous claims, a single camera system may work. If the objective is to protect every driver by capturing and coaching risk or preventing collisions with 360 degree visibility to risk, the full SmartDrive system is the best option.

Fleets can upgrade at any time using their existing hardware.

“With our SmartDrive SmartChoice Program, we put choice squarely in the hands of our customers, ensuring every fleet now has a better way to protect its drivers with video,” noted Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive. “We understand that a video safety program needs to fit the culture of the individual fleet. With three video-safety product lines and our distinctive open platform, SmartDrive’s SmartChoice Program lets fleets decide what they need, how best to deploy video within their operation and when the time is right to scale their investment, by moving up to a more comprehensive solution as their requirements expand.”

With the SmartDrive SmartChoice program, fleets can choose from among three product lines, each with unique capabilities and benefits, as described below:
