Smartphone use in the car is a growing problem. The smartphone has become an inseparable part of our lives. The phone demands attention all day long. That is sometimes hard to resist, even in traffic. Unfortunately, a few seconds of inattention can cause a lot of trouble. Ignoring the smartphone in traffic requires a major behavioral change. After all, it seems that we are almost conditioned to respond immediately when we receive a report.
We understand that like no other. That's why we came up with a solution that automatically limits smartphone operation, but only while driving. As soon as the vehicle is stationary, all functionalities of the smartphone are immediately released again.
Our solution consists of a small device (the SafeDrivePod) and an app. SafeDriveFocus ensures that road users cannot operate their smartphone as soon as their vehicle starts to move. Hands-free calling and navigation is still possible. If the vehicle is stationary, the phone can be used again immediately. It works fully automatically, so there's no need to turn the app or device on or off. In addition, our solution does not use GPS or location data, so driver privacy is guaranteed. SafeDriveFocus can also be easily expanded with our solutions SafeDriveResponse (crash detection) and SafeDriveMotion (telematics).
Patented solution for closing the phone screen (iOS and Android) while driving
The world's only driving behavior solution without the use of GPS, so no worries about privacy
Easy to use and install without a technician
The pod lasts more than 250,000 kilometers on a single battery

"Accent is a way of living, thanks to SafeDrivePod we keep our Accent on the road"

Laichingen
"The use of cell phones while driving is one of the main risks in road freight transport. According to estimations by insurance companies, 25 percent of total costs are currently caused by truck drivers who are distracted by their smartphones. However, it makes a difference to read about the consequences or to experience them. Our roadside assistants can see the catastrophic impact in practice every day. It is our responsibility to make people aware of the fact that it is also possible to increase road safety effectively by simple means. This is why, on the one hand, we support the efforts of the EU and the FIA campaign 2 seconds. In addition, the SafeDrivePod system will become an optional part of our product portfolio"
Dominique van den Eijnde, SHE Manager
Heineken Nederland
"One of the top priorities of HEINEKEN worldwide is Road Safety. Driving is part of our daily business, from transporting commodities to our breweries till bringing the product to the (end) customer. In The Netherlands, HEINEKEN has installed Telematics (insights in behavior) and the SafeDrivePod (preventing distraction) in the vehicles of the HEINEKEN fleet. We believe that this supports a safer environment on the road, both for the employees as for the other road users."
