The waySmart 820 RTS (Real Time Safety) system from inthinc is designed to create immediate improvements in driving behavior of commercial fleet drivers.

Real-time, in-cab alerts are delivered to drivers to let them know when they are conducting unsafe driving behavior; these alerts prompt them to discontinue actions such as seatbelt violations, aggressive driving, and speeding. The system also provides a flexible set of control and management tools for companies to account for assets and the driving records of employees. Management can streamline business with access to the fleet's latest data at any time through a user-friendly web interface called GAIN (Global Access Information Network).

The product comes equipped with a hand-held device used to provide verbal and text communication from the driver to the company. Messages and functions such as vehicle speed, location, DOT hours-of-service regulations, and other information are displayed for the driver and management as needed.
