CommuterRide in-vehicle safety
Description
Currently, Commuteride does not provide communications for vanpool vans. The drivers are volunteers and are allowed to carry their own personal cellular devices. However, a more focused approach deploying in–vehicle equipment such as an MDT or palmtop device for the purpose of providing drivers access to the ITD 511 system and other weather and road condition reports will add significantly to the safety of vanpool trips. This technology could also be combined with GPS capabilities for the purpose of incident response. Because of the nature of vanpool operations AVL for dispatch is unnecessary but the use of GPS and communications for response to incidents involving a vanpool van such as a crash or disabled vehicle will greatly enhance overall safety.
