Cemex Czech Republic has announced the implementation of SaverOne technology in all of its cement tankers. The new solution aims to improve driver safety. The agreement is a continuation of successful cooperation with the Israeli technology supplier, which has previously implemented the system in Israel, among others.
How the DDPS system works
The technology developed by SaverOne automatically blocks access to mobile applications that distract the driver while driving. The DDPS system installation consists of installing an appropriate device in the vehicle, which is responsible for detecting the presence of the phone in the driver’s area and managing its functions in a safe mode. The detailed installation process may vary depending on the vehicle model and the technical specifications of the system.
The DDPS system is compatible with both Android and iOS phones, ensuring wide availability and ease of integration with various mobile devices.
The system provider describes exactly how DDPS works:
1 Phone presence detection
Once the vehicle is started, the system automatically detects a phone in the driver’s area.
2. Switching to safe mode
Once the system detects your phone, it switches to safe mode, blocking access to distracting apps like text messages and email.
3. Permission for apps required for driving
Apps such as GPS navigation remain active, allowing you to use them safely while driving.
4. Notifications about unconnected phone
If the phone is not connected to the system, the driver receives a signal reminding them to connect or place the phone outside the driver’s zone.
5. Automatic replies to messages
In Safe Mode, incoming messages are not displayed on the phone screen. Instead, the sender receives an automatic reply informing them that the driver is driving and cannot respond at this time.
Return to full functionality
Once the vehicle stops, the system automatically restores full phone functionality, allowing you to use all applications.
“At Cemex, safety is our core value. We are committed to implementing innovative technologies that protect our drivers and the communities in which we operate. The SaverOne solution perfectly supports our goals, and we are pleased to introduce it to our fleet in the Czech Republic after very positive feedback from previous implementations in Europe,” said Ota Horák, cement logistics manager at Cemex Czech Republic.
