Safety and Driver Behavior

DRIVER BEHAVIOUR

Provide drivers with dynamic feedback and scorecards on their driving performance. Warn drivers of unsafe behaviour such as harsh braking, rapid acceleration or sharp cornering. Reward drivers who achieve the best scores for safe driving behaviour and protecting valuable equipment and minimising costs. Identify drivers that could benefit from safety training. Improve driver retention.

SPEED

Accurately track and report speeding incidents. Know when, where and for how long drivers have exceeded speed limits or safe operating speeds for heavy equipment. Benchmark and challenge drivers to be the best in your fleet and reduce speeding.

INCIDENT RECORDING

Using accelerometers and sophisticated physics modelling, automatically capture high resolution forensic data for safety incidents. Impact detection for serious incidents can trigger automated download of incident data including second-by-second speed, throttle position, RPM, brake application and more. This data can be invaluable in supporting insurance claims or defending your business in the courts.        

FATIGUE MANAGEMENT

Monitor and track your driver’s working and rest hours. Comply with Electronic Work Diary (EWD) requirements and manage driver fatigue. Assign long-haul trips to drivers with adequate hours to complete the trip. Fulfil your Chain of Responsibility obligations and proactively manage fatigue requirements before they become safety issues.  

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Track vehicle maintenance requirements and ensure that vehicles are safe and in compliance with local regulatory requirements. Easily identify vehicles that have been driven aggressively and may have excessive tire or brake wear for early preventative maintenance. A recent survey of Teletrac Navman customers showed significant benefits from GPS tracking. On average customers reported 30% lower fuel usage.  Wear-and-tear on vehicles was reduced also with an average of 12% fewer maintenance incidents and 20% fewer accidents or safety violations. All this adds up to reducing your operating costs and insurance risk.  

PRE-TRIP INSPECTION CHECKLISTS & REPORTS

Capture pre-trip inspection data in real-time, with the ability to incorporate photos of areas of concern such as tread wear and fluid leaks. This information can automatically be fed to your maintenance crews for early scheduling or maintenance planning, such as ordering new parts or identifying the best opportunity to service key equipment. Gain efficiency and speed of service while maintaining higher safety standards.    

MASS AND LOAD COMPLIANCE

Using declared weight or even integrated industrial scales, monitor the load of your vehicles and ensure that your vehicles are rated for specific weights. Ensure that routes used have adequate infrastructure to handle heavy vehicles or hazardous goods.

OFF-ROAD SITE SAFETY

For sites such as quarries, construction or oil and gas operations, users can set site speed limits, no-go areas or stop and start times. Users can also receive real-time alerts for driver safety breaches or produce reports for safety related incidents.
