How Jonavos Autobusai Increased Passenger Safety by Eliminating the Human Factor in Sobriety Control
As in many transport companies, the main challenge was the human factor. Sobriety checks were performed with professional handheld breathalyzers, but the testing was carried out by internal employees — which meant there was still a risk of manipulation. Drivers could make informal arrangements, and the control process, especially before morning routes, lost its objectivity. Assigning responsibility for testing to another employee added administrative burden and organizational risk.
The decision to adopt Worksober was driven by several key factors:
- Biometric facial recognition – ensures that the person being tested is the one assigned to take the test.
- Automation – the system not only performs the test but also generates documentation, sends notifications, and logs suspension data automatically.
- Work time tracking – an additional function that accurately records work start and end times.
- Real-time monitoring – any violation triggers instant alerts to responsible staff.
The main Worksober device was installed in the service facilities, where company routes begin.
- At least 30 sobriety tests are performed every day.
- All drivers are tested before starting their routes, along with service staff handling technical equipment.
- About 70% of employees are tested automatically every day.
- A mobile device is used for additional checks during the day if any suspicions arise.
The system operates smoothly and fully autonomously. Test results are reliable and instantly accessible to management in real time. The human factor has been completely eliminated, and employees know that attempts to bypass the process are pointless.
- Eliminated opportunity for manipulation – human involvement in the testing process is no longer needed.
- Automated testing workflow – reduced the workload for employees previously responsible for manual checks.
- Established transparency and discipline – a clear and structured process supports internal order.
- Fewer violations – only isolated cases remain, typically following holidays or weekends.
- Cultural change within the team – employees now understand that there are no exceptions or informal agreements.
By implementing automated sobriety control, UAB Jonavos Autobusai strengthened its culture of accountability and ensured the highest level of passenger safety. The Worksober system helped eliminate risks tied to human error, centralize data management, enable faster response to violations, and save internal resources.
“Worksober is an innovative, practical, and reliable solution that adds value to our company by improving internal planning and ensuring effective operational control.”
