The system captures information from users with a Bluetooth camera linked to a smartphone and alerts the driver using audible and visual signals while sending notifications for up to a two-hour period to third parties such as dispatch centers. DADS also can provide data on drivers and their driving patterns to assist in decreasing loss and delays while offering a strategic tool to meet performance targets and increase overall effectiveness and safety.
