Barrick to deploy new driving safety system

Barrick Gold (ABX-T, ABX-N) will invest $16 million to install driver monitoring systems in its fleet of vehicles worldwide. The technology was developed by Utah-based inthinc Technology Solutions, which recently opened a new office in Calgary.

The purchase follows a successful pilot project conducted at Barrick sites in 2009. Implementation is already underway at Barrick’s Nevada mines, including Cortez, Bald Mountain and Ruby Hill, and the company targets full deployment in 3,000 vehicles worldwide by December 2010.

The system provides specific real-time, in-cab voice alerts to drivers if they make an aggressive turn, speed or fail to buckle a seatbelt.
