TINNews |

TIN news: Atacama Resources has released its Good2Drive app, which has been designed to help drivers, corporate fleets and law enforcement to test a driver's cognitive alertness before getting behind the wheel of a vehicle.

The Good2Drive application uses an image matching test, which has been designed using Atacama Resources patented algorithm that was developed on the basis of a scientific study of cognitive abilities across various hospitals and universities in the West Coast.

The image matching test will have a span of 60-90 seconds.

Good2Drive president Dan Finch said: "We are very excited about the release of Good2Drive at Google Play and the iTunes store.

"We anticipate this app being used not only by families and individuals to promote safer driving habits, but also by corporate fleets and law enforcement agencies to combat dangerous driving."

“We anticipate this mobile application being used not only by families and individuals to promote safer driving habits, but also by corporate fleets and law enforcement agencies to combat dangerous driving.

"While drinking and driving is still a major concern, and one that Good2Drive is designed to monitor, the impairment to drivers caused by drugs, both prescription and illicit, along with drowsy driving is emerging as a major factor in traffic crashes in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.

“Good2Drive's patented algorithm and test have been proven to accurately identify cognitive impairment, regardless of the source, whether it is drinking, drugs or drowsiness. Good2Drive's test is suitable for testing young teenage drivers, adult drivers, senior citizens and drivers of commercial vehicles."

The company will be rolling out a free trial version of the Good2Drive application for both iOS and Android mobile devices.
