Technology – Event Recorder
Records only those events in
which pre-set g-force limits are
exceeded.
Records 10 seconds before and
10 seconds after this g-force
limit is exceeded.
Steady red light indicates an
event has been recorded.
Recordable Events
Exceeding pre-set g-force limits triggers an event.
Forward and lateral g-forces are monitored.
Examples of driving behaviors that may result in
recorded events include:
Hard braking
Hard cornering
Excessive acceleration
Review With Operator

This could be those in which the operator displayed effective defensive driving as well as those in which a driving action or habit may need improvement.

Additional suggestions:1. Reduce the 4 delineators to 3 at the east end of the bus stop to provide SuperShuttle an easier egress into their loading zone. 2. Obtain additional input from Veolia on removing some of the gore area west of the bus stop to allow for a minimum of 4 buses to stack. 3. Obtain additional input from Veolia on filling in the ADA curb cut directly across from the crosswalk. We would also need to have Norbert
review to make sure we are still ADA compliant if this is the direction we would like to go.
