Monitor and Track Driver Behaviour
Identify areas of driving improvement and reduce accident rates.
According to road safety charity RoSPA, businesses can reduce accident rates by more than a third when they adopt driver behaviour technology. At Trakm8, we are experts in driver behaviour analytics, working with some of the UK’s largest fleets and biggest insurance companies.
Driver Behaviour Analysis
Analysis of fleet driver data as a fleet manager is hugely important. If your business relies on fleet drivers to perform everyday activities, you’ll need to ensure that drivers are safe and efficient on the road.
Poor driving habits can increase risks and as a result, increase costs. Understanding where drivers may be making mistakes on the road can help fleet managers implement appropriate training to combat these potentially dangerous and costly issues.
What do driver behaviour telematics measure?
If you want to measure fleet driver performance, our Insight telematics system can provide you with a range of metrics to monitor. This includes:
- Speeding
- Harsh acceleration
- Over-revving
- Harsh braking
- Harsh or over-cornering
- Engine idling
Driver behaviour telematics utilises GPS data, fuel consumption, driving trends and dash cam’s to pull in accurate and essential data for businesses to monitor. This allows businesses to implement changes that will aim to improve driving performance.
This data can be used to supplement fleet managers’ strategies when running a small or large fleet. Our fleet telematics all work simultaneously to create detailed and useful reports that help businesses improve in a range of areas relating to their fleet.
How does driver monitoring work?
Driver monitoring systems work by collecting essential driver information and using intelligent metrics to report on these in an effective manner. Through the use of dash cameras, GPS and live vehicle tracking and unique telematics cameras, Trakm8 can offer businesses essential information that can support their fleet management processes.
This data is collected and translated into driving ‘scores’ that allow fleet managers to understand exactly where money may be being lost, where driving is deemed as dangerous and which drivers may benefit from additional training and/or support.
Benefits of monitoring driver behaviour and performance
Our driver behaviour solutions are proven to cut fuel costs by up to 10%, reduce instances of speeding and help you negotiate lower insurance premiums due to a decrease in your at-fault accident rate.
Reducing speeding incidents
Insight reports and alerts quickly identify the worst speeding offenders and support them in improving their driving, reducing road risk and lowering fuel costs.
Minimising harsh braking events
Harsh braking increases wear and tear on your vehicles, reducing the residual value over time.
The driver behaviour solution from Insight allows fleet managers to understand incidents of harsh braking, which can help drivers understand and improve driver behaviour. For example, by early anticipation of the need to brake.
Reduce engine idling costs
Reduce the risk of idling fines and running costs with vehicle tracking by reducing engine idling.
The act of a driver leaving the engine running while their vehicle is stationary not only wastes fuel, but is also against the law in some cases in the UK. Insight can alert you to excessive idling, saving costs and reducing the risk of fines.
Cut wear and tear by reducing harsh acceleration/over-revving
Over time, if your drivers continuously accelerate harshly, this will begin to put more strain on your vehicle’s engine and will use more fuel. Insight identifies harsh acceleration events, helping identify offenders so that fleet managers can help improve their driving style.
Reduce over-cornering with smoother driving
Turning at higher than normal speeds can increase vehicle wear and tear, while also being unsafe for other road users and pedestrians.
Insight not only provides a driving behaviour solution which limits dangerous driving and improves driving performance as well as driver safety, but also offers overall fleet vehicle tracking so that you know the location of your vehicles at all times.
