The new SmartDrive Event Player quickly streams multiple high-resolution
video streams, with interactive features detailing speed, g-force, and a
complete play-by-play of observed risky driving behaviors noted during the
SmartDrive Expert Review, a 55-point safety evaluation that scores and
prioritizes events based on severity. The new Player allows users to
instantly snap the video to any observation in a single click, eliminating
the need to search through clips to find the important segments, making for
faster screening and more effective coaching.

The new Player also allows coaches to add their own annotation to an
event, which gets added to the play-by-play for use in team training and
coaching sessions. This capability provides coaches the ability to tailor
their coaching message and ensure that important elements get communicated.
Built leveraging Microsoft Silverlight technology, the Player integrates
quick zoom and keyboard shortcuts that help users navigate through multiple
videos more quickly than ever before.

"Because we transport people, ensuring the utmost safety of our
operators, passengers, and the community in which we operate is our top
priority," said Virginia Werly, Contract Operations Manager for Riverside
Transit Agency. "The new SmartDrive Event Player makes it easier than ever
for us to coach our team. The ability to jump directly to the important areas
of an event and add our own comments directly into the timeline helps us
quickly provide positive, constructive feedback to our drivers, and is highly
successful in driving behavioral change."
