#driver ph

officially inked the research collaboration agreement to develop software and hardware solutions to train and evaluate Filipino truck drivers using IoT, the DRIVER PH project. The project is titled 'Drivers Roadworthiness Improvement Verification Education and Readiness for the Philippine Logistics Industry or DRIVER PH.’ and seeks to minimize road accidents by analyzing and evaluating truck drivers' competence on the road. It will combine information communication technology (ICT) solutions to monitor and record the driving attitude of drivers such as their sudden acceleration, stopping, swerving, and turning. It will also determine the degree of driving knowledge of drivers through a gamified assessment with emphasis on technical driving and vehicle roadworthiness know-how. A simplified dashboard that reports the fleet and up to individual driver reports will be accessible through a web and phone app by trucking operators. DRIVER PH will also have a learning platform that will create suggestions on what to improve, what to maintain in practice, and what other things are needed to be learned as aided by artificial intelligence and data analytics in every trip made. Reyes, DRIVER PH project leader, said that they are currently working on the learning modules, webinars, and other materials for the learning platform.
