Astrata’s in-vehicle monitoring system (IVMS) will be installed in Shell’s high-risk vehicles in order to improve standards of driving, reduce accidents, minimize injuries, and monitor driving habits on a real-time basis.
The IVMS is expected to play a significant part in Shell’s Road Transport Standards Policy to improve its road safety performance. Astrata’s IVMS is recommended by Shell to be installed in vehicles operating in countries deemed high-risk in terms of their road safety record. These include all countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Russia.
Astrata’s IVMS application is claimed to be different from traditionally available off-line monitoring and tracking devices. The company’s technology offers real-time data transmission between the asset and the back-end monitoring software, with decision making capability on-board the asset, thereby reducing communication costs and dependency on personnel.
Axel Botzenhardt, Shell’s global discipline head of land transport, said: Astrata has already proven its capabilities in a wider scale IVMS implementation program for Shell Brunei. The company has proved it can work with a global organization like Shell and help us to achieve our Goal Zero policy in road transportation, which is to cause no hurt to people and no harm to the environment.
