DriveAssist

Network Integrated

FULL NETWORK-BASED MEDIATION
DriveAssist provides a unique and highly configurable solution to the problem of distracted driving. It provides full mediation of text, data and voice based on business policy rules and subscriber preferences.

A network approach to distracted driving reaches a greater number of subscribers, offers a richer feature set and performs more reliably than a handset-only solution.

HOW DRIVEASSIST WORKS
DriveAssist automatically determines subscribers' contexts and intellegently manages usage based on subscriber policy.

  • Incoming texts are delivered when driving stops
  • Callers and texters are notified that the subscriber is driving
  • Data is mediated intelligently: instant messaging and email can be disallowed, for example, while navigation is allowed
  • Inbound calls are mediated by an IVR system that provides the option to leave a voicemail, request callback or request a priority alert

OPERATOR BENEFITS
DriveAssist integrates with strategic-vendor solutions to modify and dynamically enforce session policy. The application's features are tied to key attributes of the wireless network, allowing text, data and voice to be controlled by the wireless operator.

  • Increases network efficiency by handling traffic in the network prior to delivery to the handset
  • Client sends context changes only, minimizing signaling, data traffic
  • Does not require constant GPS or location database queries
  • Hosted service eliminates CAPEX
  • Uses existing standard interfaces to the wireless network
  • Support for emergency calls to PSAP and PSAP callback to disconnected emergency caller
