New Technology to Reduce Distracted Driving in Fleets

Given the high correlation between distracted drivers and accidents, Cellcontrol is partnering with TomTom.

Here’s how it works: Cellcontrol has developed a customized version of its patented, award-winning safe driving platform specifically for TomTom Bridge.

Cellcontrol technology will pair with a driver’s smartphone in the cabin and restrict the driver’s access to certain smartphone applications while their vehicle is in motion. TomTom Bridge is a semi-rugged navigation device built for vehicle fleets that connects business applications, like Cellcontrol, with TomTom maps, traffic, and navigation software.

The partnership combines Cellcontrol’s mission of ending distracted driving and creating better drivers, with TomTom’s Bridge technology aimed at improving life on the road for fleet drivers.

“Cellcontrol is an invaluable tool for improving safety on the road,” said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom, Inc. “We believe it is an essential addition to the Bridge platform that will help fleet-centric businesses  improve the safety of everyone on the road, while providing specific feedback on driver performance.”

Built for life on the road, the TomTom Bridge device has a solid industrial design, 7-inch screen, fully customizable Android interface and powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The device comes with lifetime TomTom Maps and TomTom Traffic.

Stated Cellcontrol CEO Robert Guba, “Our relationship enables us to further our goal of putting an end to distracted driving.  Moreover, by expanding our fleet market presence with TomTom Bridge, we are also helping businesses and professionals, who depend on safe driving, to make a living.”
