To boost an accident-free commute, a recently launched mobile app, DriveSafe.Smart, helps in blocking calls that come through while people are driving or riding. The caller gets an instant message that says, “I am driving, will call later.” A new feature of this app is now going live: Drive Smarter.

Drive Smarter is designed for employers such as cab services, delivery services, office cabs, courier services and sales staff management. The employer could monitor the ‘Total Distance’ travelled, ‘Current Location’ of the employee and the ‘Total Cost’ of the job. The cost of petrol consumed could also be tracked.

The app, launched during the Road Safety Week in January by the Commissioner of Road Transport and Safety, works without an Internet connection.
