Driver's Alert, a pioneer in the fleet safety, risk reduction, and online training industries, has been selected by Automotive Resources International (ARI) as a partner in its recently announced ARI Driver Watch program. ARI Driver Watch is a new road safety observation reporting program, which promotes safer driving and lowers driver risk. Driver's Alert will provide the driver observation and reporting component of ARI Driver Watch.

The program involves placing Driver's Alert's decals on vehicles with a vehicle unit number and a reporting phone number. Other drivers and/or pedestrians can call the number to report any unsafe behavior or to offer positive feedback. The data collected by Driver's Alert will be integrated into ARI's web-based fleet management system, ARI insights.

"ARI selected Driver's Alert for this critical component of the ARI Driver Watch program after a thorough review of the competitive products," said Keith Steidle, Manager, ARI Business Development. "We liked the technology that backs Driver's Alert's driver observation service, their guaranteed 97 percent call accuracy rate, and the fact that they record every phone call and provide a .wav file of the actual call within minutes of the call being received. This ensures you are dealing with facts, not hearsay, when counseling a driver. The ARI insights system will integrate the client's data from these phone calls with its full complement of data on accidents, violations, and other measurements of driver behavior."
