Telematics technology to monitor driving behaviour of NZ bus drivers

GO Wellington, a New Zealand-based bus service provider, has installed telematics technology in buses to allow the firm to monitor the driving habits of its drivers. The telematics technology will monitor speeding, harsh braking and acceleration, excessive idling and over-revving of buses and remind drivers if they are about to exceed safety thresholds. It is expected that the technology will promote safer driving, reduce emissions as well as wear and tear of buses.
