CalAmp, LoJack And Together For Safer Roads Celebrate World Safety Day On April 28IRVINE, Calif. and SAN FRANCISCO, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp® (Nasdaq: CAMP), a telematics pioneer and LoJack®, a leader in stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) and innovative automotive services, announced today our commitment to helping make roads safer for all drivers, along with partner Together for Safer Roads (TSR), a coalition of global private sector companies working together to improve road safety. On April 28, known as World Day for Safety and Health at Work (World Safety Day), CalAmp and LoJack will unveil tips and resources to help drivers stay safer on the roads and businesses with fleets to develop road safety programs. With millions of connected cars and autonomous vehicles poised to hit the road in the near future, technology providers, lawmakers and regulators must work quickly to improve safety as human drivers and self-driving vehicles coexist. "As we collect more and more data from connected vehicles, whether it's a car, fleet or truck, we can leverage that data to assess driver behavior and instantly report vehicle status, such as crash events, helping make roads safer and providing first responders with potentially lifesaving information," said Michael Burdiek, president and CEO of CalAmp. "Now we have the data analytics and applications as well as the dealership channels and first responder relationships to proliferate solutions to help protect the lives of drivers and their passengers. With this technology and our combined commitment, World Safety Day can be practiced every day." A few tips from CalAmp and LoJack for keeping our roads safer:
CalAmp and LoJack's resource page will also include a link to the TSR Pledg, prompting people to learn about risky road behaviors that often lead to crashes and make a personal commitment to make roads safer. "CalAmp's driver behavior and crash response technology are excellent examples of the types of solutions we need to make a sustainable impact on road safety," said David Braunstein, president of TSR. "Technology innovation is just one part of creating safer roads. It's an individual and collective effort. We would love to see every driver take our road safety pledge."
