Aegis Partners with Acision on DriveAssist Distracted Driving Solution

The fight against the effects of distracted driving seems to have entered a more technological era this week, as more and more groups are announcing either the start of a study into how technology can be used to limit distracted driving or the development of some new driver assistance technology that would allow the driver to go about his distracted business while not actually getting distracted.

The latest development in this new fight is the partnership announced between Aegis Mobility and Acision, a partnership meant to enhance the DriveAssist technology developed by Aegis. Simply put, the DriveAssist system will be integrated with the Personalized Messaging solution from Acision to become one force to be reckoned with.

The new system will be meant to allow the mobile network operator to mediate text messages, data sessions, and voice calls when a cell phone user is driving. This means that the driver will be able to talk and even text without taking his eyes off the road.

"Acision is partnering with Aegis Mobility to offer a solution to address safety concerns associated with mobile phone usage while operating a motor vehicle,” said Rick Harris, senior vice president and general manager of North American operations for Acision.

“We believe operators will find strong market interest in this distracted driving solution, especially among parents looking to protect their teenage children, as well as enterprises wishing to reduce liability risk and enhance the safety of their mobile employees. This alliance empowers operators to accelerate the deployment and delivery of a distracted driving solution that will save lives."
