Abstract: Systems and methods for safety monitoring are described. Mobile assets may receive safety monitoring notifications responsive to one or more safety criteria being met. A driver or other user of the mobile asset may be prompted to acknowledge the safety monitoring notification. If the user requests assistance or does not acknowledge the safety monitoring notification, notifications may be communicated to other individuals, e.g. supervisors. In this manner, the safety of, e.g. drivers in a fleet of vehicles may be monitored.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and using moving violation alerts are disclosed. A navigation device located in a vehicle determines the vehicle's present location and present speed, and generates a moving violation alert. The moving violation alert comprises at least one of time information, location information, road segment information, and sensor information. A tracking device coupled to the navigation device provides the moving violation alert on a network. The network connection is configured to transmit the moving violation alert from the navigation device to a recipient outside the vehicle. Moving violation alerts may be stored and analyzed by the recipient.
