Driver assistance that improves driver safety
and efficiency

Consat Telematics Driver Assistance provides public transportation drivers with real-time operational support, communication tools and safety functionality designed to simplify complex driving tasks and improve service reliability. Public transportation drivers operate in demanding environments where they must maintain timetable adherence, manage operational changes, support passengers and navigate complex traffic conditions while maintaining safety and efficiency. The solution helps reduce driver stress and administrative burden by providing real-time journey information, streamlined communication and integrated operational support. By improving driver workflows and simplifying daily operations, Driver Assistance supports safer driving, improved punctuality and a more reliable passenger experience. Journey Status functionality provides drivers with real-time updates on routes, delays, detours and connection management. Drivers can coordinate passenger transfers, request delays and adapt to operational changes using continuously updated traffic and journey information. Built-in communication tools include predefined text messaging, voice communication, automated driver announcements and Push-to-Communicate functionality, enabling instant structured voice communication between drivers and traffic controllers. These communication capabilities improve coordination, operational responsiveness and passenger communication during disruptions or changing traffic conditions. Driver Safety features include emergency alarms, alcolock breath tests and CCTV integration to support rapid incident response and secure driving conditions. Driver alarms are handled without operational interference through automatic blocking of incoming calls and messages while alarms are active, ensuring controlled and reliable handling of critical events within the traffic control process. Multi-Vehicle Management supports operational continuity through simplified vehicle replacements, reinforcement vehicle deployment during peak demand and interchange coordination to maintain service reliability across the transportation network. Driver Coaching encourages sustainable and efficient driving behaviour through real-time eco-driving feedback, training tools and performance reviews. The functionality helps reduce fuel consumption, emissions and vehicle wear while supporting safer and more comfortable journeys. The solution also includes purpose-built driver displays for public transportation operations. The Consat Driver Terminal (CDT) integrates onboard equipment and back-office systems while supporting CAN/FMS connections, Ethernet and digital inputs for operational data collection. The Consat Driver Display (CDD) provides a high-resolution touchscreen interface with a minimalistic and durable design that reduces driver distraction and supports a professional working environment. Consat Telematics Driver Assistance is used by operators such as Ventura Bus Lines in Melbourne to streamline operations across more than 680 buses.
