PHOENIX, Ariz. — PrePass Safety Alliance and HAAS Alert, are announcing a strategic collaboration to integrate HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud Alert solution into PrePass Safety Alerts.
“PrePass Safety Alliance has always been committed to making highways safer and more efficient for commercial drivers, and this collaboration with HAAS Alert is a natural extension of that mission,” said Mark Doughty president, CEO, PrePass “By adding Safety Cloud to our Safety Alerts platform, we are giving commercial truck drivers earlier, more reliable warnings about the hazards that require them to slow down and move over. This is exactly the kind of partnership that helps everyone get home safely.”
The ventures expands the product’s capabilities to include live digital warnings for approaching emergency vehicles, incident responders and active work zones.
Critical Roadside Safety Alerts
Through a first-of-its-kind nationwide partnership PrePass and HAAS Alert will deliver critical roadside safety alerts directly to professional drivers using the PrePass Mobile App across the lower 48 states. The collaboration combines PrePass nationwide trucking reach with HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud, North America’s most comprehensive platform for dynamic road hazard alerts.
“With this integration, PrePass Safety Alerts will notify drivers of active roadside emergency scenes, work zones and other roadway events before they reach them – giving commercial truck drivers minutes of advance warning rather than seconds provided by traditional lights and signage alone,” the companies said. “The Safety Cloud platform automatically captures hazard events when emergency or incident responders activate their vehicles’ warning lights or when work zone equipment is deployed, requiring no additional action from crews in the field and enabling them to focus on the job at hand. Safety Cloud Alert sends this safety information in real time to driver-facing solutions via cloud-to-cloud or cloud-to-vehicle delivery channels.”
Building on Existing Platforms
“We’re proud to partner with PrePass Safety Alliance to bring Safety Cloud alerts to the professional drivers who share the road with first responders and roadway workers every day,” said Cory Hohs, CEO of HAAS Alert. “Commercial truck drivers are among the most important stakeholders in roadside safety, and integrating with PrePass Safety Alerts gives us an important channel to deliver nationwide real-time warnings that can save lives. This partnership reflects our shared belief that technology should be put to work protecting the people who keep America moving.”
The integration builds on the existing capabilities of PrePass Safety Alerts, which already provides commercial drivers with audible and visual notifications for weather conditions, traffic slowdowns, road restrictions and parking availability. The addition of Safety Cloud further strengthens PrePass’ safety mission by creating greater visibility and helping fleets reduce crash risk and improve compliance with Move Over laws now enacted in all 50 states.
“Together, PrePass Safety Alliance and HAAS Alert are setting a new standard for driver safety technology in the commercial transportation industry,” the companies said. “Fleet operators and drivers will benefit from a single, seamlessly integrated safety platform that covers parking, weather, traffic, road restrictions and now nationwide, real-time emergency and work zone alerts — all delivered through the PrePass Mobile App without requiring any additional hardware or applications.”
