Where Duress earns its place on a transport & logistics shift.
Each scenario maps to a Duress product and to an outcome we can show in the audit log.
-
Eagle ›A long-haul driver on a regional route at 2am.
Eagle on the dash with live breadcrumb to dispatch over 4G LTE. SOS reaches an operator in seconds. Driver ID tags every alert to the right person.
-
Falcon ›A depot worker after the gates close.
Falcon on the wrist with indoor positioning across the yard. Fall detection auto-escalates if they're knocked down between trailers. Dispatch knows which bay before they're out of the office.
-
App ›A roadside breakdown at sunset.
Duress App on the phone in the driver's pocket. Slide-to-alert if a stop turns hostile, live audio to operators, local police routed to the exact GPS pin.
-
Falcon ›A field-service technician at a remote site.
Falcon plus Safety Timer on the climb in. If the tech doesn't cancel within the configured window, alerts escalate automatically. No requirement to remember to check in if everything is fine.
-
Eagle ›A driver-ID handoff at shift change.
Eagle pairs to each driver's Duress App at the start of the trip. Journey logs attribute to the right driver. Chain-of-responsibility evidence is automatic, not reconstructed from logsheets.
-

Pathfinder produces the journey log, fatigue-flag log, driver-ID assignments, and activation history. Compliance evidence ready to forward to the regulator without anyone going through paper sheets.

Primary obligation
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and state mirror legislation
Australian transport operators carry a WHS duty of care, with the additional Chain of Responsibility obligations under the Heavy Vehicle National Law and route-specific obligations under the Rail Safety National Law and aviation/maritime frameworks. Duress provides the activation log, driver-ID attribution, and incident-response trail each scheme expects in an investigation.
