C apturing video is a great tool for drivers who want to protect themselves from lawsuits, and for companies that want to coach their drivers on safety. SmartDrive Systems has expand- ed on this idea, offering a video- based safety program that enables companies to deploy up to four cameras on each truck to gain 360-degree visibility to the roads and jobsites where the vehicles operate. With SmartDrive 360, risky maneuvers such as swerving, U- turns or collisions automatically trigger a video recording from up to four cameras simultaneously; it also off-loads the video from the SmartRecorder. Drivers can also manually initiate a recording. With the SmartDrive program's service, the video is reviewed by a driving analyst within one hour, and con- fi rmed collisions and risk alerts are sent to the company. With 35 percent of incidents and collisions occurring to the side and rear of trucks, having this 360-degree visibility allows users to see exactly what happened. This gives companies additional information to either exonerate the driver or coach the driver on preventing similar incidents. – Tom Jackson EquipmentWorld.com | October 2017 35 8 0 0 . 2 0 5 . 9 9 1 3 WE'RE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER.

Practically speaking, the Propel- ler Aero system replaces the need to ride or walk a site with a GPS rover on a pole and painstakingly record all the coordinates and elevations. Company offi cials say the system will save a considerable amount of time, especially when surveying large sites, places diffi - cult to access with a truck or utility vehicle and multi-acre sites with challenging terrain. –Tom Jackson SmartDrive 360 puts eyes in the back of your truck drivers' heads
