  14. ComEd Meter Reading Overview Facts • Root Cause of Vehicle Accidents: Driver Distraction • ~ 500 meter readers responsible for reading ~ 4M meters every month • 3.7M miles driven per year • Average age of drivers: 21 – 26 Results • 2007 – 42% improvement in reducing responsible vehicle accidents

  15. DriveCam Facts • Video event recorder that is mounted on the windshield behind the rear-view mirror and captures sights and sounds inside and outside the vehicle • Exceptional forces (e.g. hard braking, swerving, collision, etc.) cause the recorder to save the critical seconds before and after the triggered event • Saved events are downloaded, analyzed and assigned a risk score to coach drivers and improve driving behavior • $710 for 1st year of service / $310 year 2 and beyond DRIVE CAM VIDEO CLIP PRESENTATION
