Distracted Driving Solution by CODEPROOF®

Codeproof DriveSafe AppStore

In the 21st century, texting and talking on the phone are huge causes for distracted driving. In 2017 alone, distracted driving caused 3,166 deaths and 34,247 injuries, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA).

Distracted driving hurts transportation businesses in many ways. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), the average cost/vehicle to businesses due to collisions is between $4000 and $8000. In addition, employers are being held liable up to $25 million for employee crashes, even when employees use hands-free devices.

How it works

Created to avoid high costs and legal liability for transportation, trucking, and taxi companies, DriveSafe is a distracted driving solution combining hardware and software elements. Using low energy beacons combined with the DriveSafe app, IT administrators can automatically enforce company distracted driving policies while the vehicle is in motion.

DriveSafe has the following features:

Block calling

Block the driver from making calls while the vehicle is in motion, except in case of emergencies, when the driver can disable functionality on the app.

Block texting

Block the driver from texting while the vehicle is in motion.

Block Apps

Block or suspend any apps considered distracting for the driver.

Note: Codeproof is compliant with the ELD mandate, a U.S. federal government regulation affecting operators of commercial motor vehicles. For more information, visit our ELD compliance page.

Industries that deploy DriveSafe

Distracted-driving incidents create real liability: fleet collisions cost $4,000-$8,000 per vehicle on average and employer judgments have reached $25 million even when employees use hands-free devices. DriveSafe combines a phone app with optional Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons to enforce policy automatically when the vehicle is moving.

DriveSafe FAQs

How does DriveSafe know the vehicle is moving?
DriveSafe uses the phone's accelerometer and GPS to detect motion above a configurable speed threshold. For higher accuracy and to avoid restricting passengers, IT can pair the app with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon mounted in the company vehicle - the phone is only restricted when actually inside that specific vehicle.
Can drivers still make emergency calls?
Yes. Emergency calls to 911 (and any other admin-configured number) remain available. Drivers can also explicitly invoke an emergency override that logs the event for safety review.
Which platforms does DriveSafe support?
Android is the primary platform with full enforcement and BLE pairing. iOS has limited platform-level enforcement; iOS deployments typically use app allow-list policy and Driving Focus integration.
Does this work in BYOD?
Yes. DriveSafe can run inside the Android work profile so distracted-driving enforcement applies only when the driver is on-duty using company apps. Personal apps outside the work profile are not restricted.
How does DriveSafe support ELD compliance?
DriveSafe is designed to coexist with ELD apps. You can allow ELD, navigation, and dispatch apps while blocking distractions, satisfying both FMCSA ELD mandate requirements and distracted-driving policies.
