How you can improve Safety and Regulatory Compliance
When it comes to the transportation industry there is no hot-button topic more talked about than safety and compliance.
Distracted Driver Legislation
Driver distractions come in many forms, but the use of texting and hand-held cell phones has increased in recent years, creating unacceptable levels of risk.
While transportation companies agree that safety is the number one priority for operations, today’s commercial vehicle drivers depend more than ever on information. Cutting off access to in-cab communications is simply not an option, which is why Axle Technologies provides a cutting edge dispatch system that help keep your driver's eyes on the road where they belong, while enabling them to seamlessly stay in touch with the office.
Heavy Vehicle Speed Legislation
Heavy vehicle speeding is a problem on our roads - 245 heavy vehicle drivers across Australia died in crashes while at the wheel in 2008. Reducing heavy vehicle speeding will save lives.
From 1st February 2010, new nationally consistent Heavy Vehicle Speed laws come into effect in South Australia. They require better management of heavy vehicle speed and make specified off-road parties more responsible for the speed of heavy vehicles.
The aim of the new laws are to reduce heavy vehicle speeding, making the roads safer for everyone. Heavy Vehicle Speed Compliance legislation is the third tier of the Compliance and Enforcement road safety reform and is another step in reducing road trauma by reducing heavy vehicle speeds.
All speeding events are recorded and immediately available for viewing. We also offer the option to receive a real-time alert of any speeding breach via SMS message or Email. Axle FMS Speed Monitoring enables business owners to meet their mandated obligations under the New Heavy Vehicle Speed Compliance Laws 2010.
