Overview

EROAD Posted Speed delivers real-time driver coaching, displaying real-time road network data on highways and main metro routes. This empowers drivers to make better driving choices on the road based on road network data. As drivers have access to the best in-vehicle technology powered by up-to-date mapping data, they can now self-coach. This reduces fleet management overhead, and helps managers to focus on more productive fleet optimisation opportunities.

Safer driving with less speeding leads to a known reduction in accidents, incidents, near misses, and your organisation’s health and safety risk. It also delivers money in your pocket – including savings through improved fuel efficiency, reduced repairs and maintenance, potential to reduce insurance premiums, and reduced driver turnover.
