E-Smart has launched a new feature that monitors seat belt usage by commercial drivers and limits vehicle speeds when they’re not worn.
E-Smart Seat Belt is part of its Dynamic Speed Management suite and is customizable by fleets.

With E-Smart Seat Belt, we can detect and monitor seat belt use under different conditions. The fleet can then provide the operational rules of what happens under each condition.”
When a driver isn’t wearing their seat belt, speeds can be limited to a set speed and an event report is generated. Fleets can also set speed-controlled geofenced areas with reporting.
The new feature will be available in the third quarter of this year.
