PeopleNet has partnered with ITI (Instructional Technologies Inc) to bring groundbreaking driver training technology to PeopleNet customers via the PeopleNet BLU platform.
Risk-management specialist ITI applies technology developed in advanced pilot training to the trucking industry. ITI's Pro-TREAD and TREAD-1 programs provide interactive driver training to some 170 fleets in the United States and Canada. These programs will be viewable on the PeopleNet BLU platform, which changes the way drivers interact with onboard systems in the cab.
In partnership with PeopleNet, Pro-TREAD will provide preemptive, targeted driver training in the cab in response to real-time performance data collected from trucks on the road. PeopleNet customers can already use this data with PeopleNet's PerformX application to monitor driver behavior and the health of a truck's engine, drive train and other operational systems. Driver-related performance data can include hard-braking, speeding, hours of service, tailgating, excessive G-forces, and other recorded events.
Applications developed by the companies will be commercially available throughout 2008.
