App targets distracted driving by monitoring phone use
SeatbeltGuard, a vehicle device, and TextGuard, a phone app, work together to
help feet managers prevent distracted driving and to monitor other driver behav-
iors, company offcials said. SeatbeltGuard is
installed under a vehicle's dash, wiring directly
to the electrical panel. When the company's cor-
nerstone application, TextGuard, is installed on
a phone, SeatbeltGuard sends an alert to the
manager if the driver uses the phone when the
vehicle's speed is above 9 mph.
