Do you have a teenager who has recently started driving? Are you worried yet? You have cause to be:
- Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers.
- 16 year-olds have higher crash rates than do drivers of any other age.
- 16-year-olds are three times more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash than the average of all drivers.
- 3,490 drivers age 15-20 died in car crashes in 2006, up slightly from 2005.
- Drivers age 15-20 accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes in 2006.
 This is why EarthSearch has developed the HALO personal GPS safety device. By leveraging much of the technology used in our LogiBoxx hardware, HALO is designed to guide and protect your teenager and secure the vehicle your teen is driving. HALO provides your teen driver with tools and features through GPS technology so that he or she will become a safer driver. With HALO, parents will be able to receive important information transmitted from the vehicle to a cell phone or computer while the driver receives audio in-cabin alerts from the device itself.
Combining the HALO hardware with our proprietary back end server, GATIS, EarthSearch is able to provide unique features through an in-cabin audio alert guide. Our technology has the capability to:
- Warn a teen to fasten their seat belt, if an unbuckled state is detected.
- Tell the driver to slow down when they have violated the speed limit the parent has established.
- Sound an alert when erratic driving behavior has been detected.
- Send alerts and notifications should the driver venture outside of a predefined "electronic fence" set by their parent.
HALO helps parents monitor the speed of the teenaged driver's car, distance driven, driving patterns, and it will list the locations to which their teen has traveled. HALO provides critical security information and capabilities to keep the members of your family safe while driving.
