Barzal Alto, Colombia -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2012 -- Companies using DETEGIS technology have reported a dramatic reduction in traffic accidents due to an effective speed control system. In addition to GPS tracking (rastreo satelital), the technology allows real-time monitoring of gasoline consumption and offers an emergency panic button and direct communication with the driver. Throughout Latin America, GPS monitoring has made possible the recovery of thousands of stolen vehicles.
Over 90% of all traffic accidents are related to human error and negligence. In comparison, less than 3% of accidents are due to mechanical faults and less than 5% are due to environmental factors. So when it comes to safety, any system that reduces such risk, such by live monitoring of the vehicle's speed, makes Colombian roads safer and more effective.
