Drivewyze
Drivewyze, a Fleetworthy company, expanded its Smart Roadways service with in-cab alerts for those driving through California, Michigan, and Nevada. Twenty states now utilize Smart Roadways services, which extend the reach of state safety and enforcement messaging to commercial truck drivers. Virtual messaging and traffic slowdown alerts are offered to the entire trucking industry free of charge through Drivewyze Free. This allows fleets and drivers—using telematics devices, smartphones, or tablets—to receive in-cab safety alerts and advisories before reaching risky areas on the roadway.
While Drivewyze Free includes access to agency-sponsored real-time traffic slowdown alerts and other alerts and advisories generated in partnership with select state transportation and enforcement agencies, it also offers core message sets, including Drivewyze-sponsored alerts and advisories for high-rollover risk areas, low bridges, and mountain alerts (steep grade ahead; chain-up/brake check stations; and runaway ramps).
