NEW YORK -- Jan. 7, 2015: Teletrac® Inc., a leading GPS tracking and fleet management provider, today announced that it has been named a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Safe Driving Category. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 28 product categories.

Teletrac's award-winning software, Fleet Director®, was honored for its commitment to driver and vehicle safety by offering a rich business tool that moves beyond traditional GPS fleet tracking. The awards committee recognized Teletrac Safety Analytics for its unique insight into driver safety behavior on the road, and the ability to utilize this data in meaningful commercial applications. Managers can monitor their drivers on the job by using Teletrac Safety Analytics's data-rich dashboards to display any incidents of harsh braking, speeding, fast cornering, and stop sign violations. This arsenal of behavioral data helps businesses easily monitor and implement safety incentives into their driver training.

Teletrac's safety component is coupled with actionable vehicle data that provides companies with key performance data, such as fuel use, idle time information and vehicle diagnostic data. This information can help cut down fuel consumption and other inefficiencies, increasing a fleet's lifespan, efficiency and cost savings.

"We are thrilled to be recognized for our work in promoting driver and vehicle safety," said Sid Nair, Director of Product Management, Teletrac. "Safety is a powerful tentpole in our product offering and we're proud to provide companies with valuable vehicle and driver behavior data that helps them make the best decisions for their company."
