Description 

Motion Manager is a distracted driving solution that limits the functionality 
of mobile computers while the vehicle is moving. Motion Manager helps to 
prevent distracted driving to: 

comply with legislation and corporate safety policies 

reduce risk 

minimize organization liability 

provide a safer workplace 

 
Motion Manager is a microcontroller-based peripheral that incorporates 
sensor technology to detect vehicle motion. When connected, via a USB 
port, to a Microsoft Windows computer with Motion Manager software 
Motion Manager system can be set-up to blank the display when the 
sensed vehicle motion is above the configured threshold. 
 
The Motion Manager system consists of: 

Sensor hardware 

Detects vehicle motion  

USB A to Mini B cable 

Connects the Sensor Hardware to the computer / docking station 

Proprietary Software 

Resides on the Windows computer  

Communicates with the Sensor Hardware
