Nextel to help regulate fleet drivers
November 7th, 2008 | by admin |Taking the ability to certain extremes whilst hopefully providing some tips to the careless driver before it is too late is another ability that the Nextel vehicle tracking system provides. The system can be set and will report automatically at any signs of excess speed or erratic breaking. The driver will then be called to task and warned that further incidents of reckless driving could result in an official reprimand or even dismissal.
The Nextel system also allows interaction between drivers and the operations center. One of the most positive features is the existence of a panic button that will allow drivers if they are in a situation where they cannot openly contact the center through their Sprint telephone. This feature is not often in use, but provides the driver with a failsafe method of contacting the center when their personal safety may be compromised and some matter that requires immediate attention such as an accident or breakdown.
