Programming Safety into Every Mile
By Nicholas Will
Introduction
Advancing technologies have played a large role in improving safety standards and preventive practices for businesses across industries. As alerts and automation adapt and evolve to meet market demands, new levels of access provide visibility to unsafe driving behaviors, situations, and vehicle conditions. With these insights, fleets have been able to pursue preventive and corrective measures with greater speed and accuracy. While many great in-cab tools and add-ons are available, one of the best safety mitigating tools is right under the hood: The Body Control Module (BCM). Programming safety features through the BCM builds safety right into the rig and allows specialization for specific applications as well. With all the tools available today, any fleet can program safety into every mile.
