ScreenSafe Configuration


Screens and Features

 

Even the Basic version of ScreenSafe has more Configuration capability than any "distracted Driving" software solution available.  With the Basic Version of ScreenSafe you have the ability to modify many of configuration settings of the ScreenSafe Default Configuration. 

While the Global Manager offers an unlimited number of custom Configurations, the Basic version of ScreenSafe requires all vehicles to use the same, Default configuration.

ScreenSafe has the capability for a Fleet Manager to access the online ScreenSafe Configuration Portal and modify the “Default” configuration template which will in turn be automatically downloaded and applied to all vehicles in the fleet.

Once a “Default Configuration” has been modified to the Fleet Managers specifications, the individual vehicle drivers will not be able to alter or make changes to this configuration. The Fleet Manager can now view an online report and verify the date and time the basic configuration was applied on each remote laptop computer.
 

The Basic Version of ScreenSafe provides the following settings:

Enable / Disable Speed  (Only Summary Reports are Available in Basic Version)
 

Some Fleet Managers may want the laptop to immediately disable the screen as soon as the vehicle begins moving, other Fleet Managers (example: city power line inspectors) may want the computer operational at speeds of less than 10 mph but for the screen to be disabled at any speed above 10 mph.  Because of it’s flexibility and customization, ScreenSafe could be used on laptops of Police and Emergency vehicles. ScreenSafe would not affect computer function at normal speeds, but would remove screen distractions while in “Hot Pursuit” situations where vehicle speeds may exceed 90 mph.

Quick Peek (Only Summary Reports are Available in Basic Version)
 

This option can be enabled or disabled. The Quick Peek function allows the driver to hit the “space bar” and allow temporary viewing of the monitor for a limited number of seconds as defined in the configuration settings. This allows the driver to have a “Quick Peek” at a mapping application or destination address.

GPS Unplugged (Only Summary Reports are Available in Basic Version)
 

One concern many Fleet Managers have is that a driver might try to defeat the application by unplugging the GPS. If this happens ScreenSafe will log an Alert and notify the Fleet Manager. The Fleet Manager can also configure the action ScreenSafe takes should a Driver Unplug the GPS. You can either re-enable the laptop for simply LOCK the laptop from use until the GPS is reattached. The ScreenSafe application will also play a warning message (“GPS Removed”) if the driver unplugs the GPS.  If desired, the Fleet Manage has the ability to TOTALLY DISABLE any laptop the moment a driver attempts to disconnect the GPS antenna; the laptop will become operational again once the GPS antenna is reattached.

Police Notification Page
 

If a vehicle is stopped by an officer of the Law Enforcement he can simply show the officer the "Police Page" which verifies that the computer was disabled while the vehicle has been in motion.  ScreenSafe constantly records the status of the screen and is able to provide this information in an easy to read format that clearly explains how ScreenSafe was able to lock the monitor.  

Speed Limit Exceeded (Only Summary Reports are Available in Basic Version)
 

Alerts can be set to notify Fleet Manager when vehicle speeds exceed limits set in the configuration file. Simply set the Max Speed Limit for a speed (say 70 MPH) and Screen Safe will alert both the Driver and the Fleet Manager if the vehicle is traveling at a speed over the limit set.

Worm Hole Alerting (Only Summary Reports are Available in Basic Version)
 

A Fleet Manager needs to overview compliance with the Use of the ScreenSafe application.  The Fleet Manager can view not only active vehicles but inactive vehicles.  In the case a vehicle travels xx miles without connecting the GPS antenna, the ScreenSafe application will trigger a "Worm Hole Alert.  A Worm Hole is a situation by which a vehicle was last detected at one location and without recording any vehicle movement appears at another, distant location..... worm hole.

Custom Geo-Fencing Area (Only Summary Reports are Available in Basic Version)
 

A Fleet Manager can create a "Custom Boundary Area" that all vehicles must remain inside.  You simply locate a point on a may, say the middle of your city and define the sixe of the circle around your city.  to overview compliance with the Use of the ScreenSafe application.  The Fleet Manager can view not only active vehicles but inactive vehicles.  In the case a vehicle travels xx miles without connecting the GPS antenna, the ScreenSafe application will trigger a "Worm Hole Alert.  A Worm Hole is a situation by which a vehicle was last detected at one location and without recording any vehicle movement appears at another, distant location..... worm hole.

As you can see ScreenSafe was designed to allow each company to customize the application to not only conform with State Distracted Driving Laws, but to also meet their corporate policy for safe driving. With ScreenSafe the Fleet Manager is able to create a custom configuration that meets his company’s vehicle driving guidelines.
