Yes, Drivewyze safety alerts are customizable, providing fleets with the flexibility to tailor alerts to their specific operational needs, safety priorities, and driver preferences. This level of customization allows fleet managers to maximize the effectiveness of Drivewyze’s in-cab alerts while ensuring that drivers receive relevant, actionable information without unnecessary distractions.

Drivewyze Safety+, the company’s advanced safety platform, is designed to deliver proactive, location-based alerts for a wide range of road hazards, including steep grades, sharp curves, high-wind zones, sudden slowdowns, rollover-prone areas, and high-risk crash locations. These alerts help drivers anticipate potential dangers, improve reaction time, and avoid preventable accidents.

Through the Drivewyze web portal or supported telematics platforms, fleet managers can control how and when these alerts are delivered. Customization options include:

  • Alert Types: Fleets can choose which categories of alerts they want to activate based on their routes, cargo, or risk profile. For example, a fleet operating primarily in mountainous regions may prioritize steep grade and runaway ramp alerts, while a fleet focused on urban deliveries may emphasize sudden slowdown and traffic congestion warnings.
  • Geographic Zones: Drivewyze allows fleets to customize alerts based on specific geographic areas. Fleets can disable alerts for regions where they do not operate or adjust settings to focus on high-priority routes.
  • Frequency and Timing: Alerts can be configured to reduce repetition, ensuring that drivers are not overwhelmed by constant notifications, especially on familiar routes.
  • Driver Feedback: Some Drivewyze integrations allow for monitoring driver responses to alerts, enabling fleets to assess effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.
  • Safety Campaigns: Drivewyze also supports temporary, event-specific alerts, such as weather-related warnings, construction zone updates, or enforcement blitz reminders.

This high level of customization ensures that Drivewyze safety alerts enhance driver awareness without contributing to information overload. By tailoring the system to their unique operations, fleets can improve safety outcomes, reduce incidents, and foster a proactive safety culture.
