Many of our real-time trackers have the ability to make a driving behavior report (analysis). Real-time notifications from our portal can help to intervene in time when (very) extreme driving behaviour occurs.
Rough driving refers to a range of driving styles and actions that can not only be dangerous, but also lead to higher costs and faster wear and tear on vehicles. This includes:
Abrupt braking
- Acceleration sensors register sudden decelerations.
- Braking hard too often indicates driving too close to the car in front or anticipating poorly.
Aggressive acceleration
- Accelerate quickly at traffic lights or out of curves.
- Telematics can recognize patterns in aggressive driving behavior.
Speeding
- GPS registers the speed driven.
- Warnings can be sent in the event of violations.
Reckless cornering
- Gyroscopes measure sudden steering movements and G-forces.
By analyzing driving behavior, companies can identify and address risky driving behavior before it leads to accidents.
The benefits of driving behavior monitoring
Prevent wear and tear, damage and expensive repairs
By recognizing risky driving behavior at an early stage – such as hard braking and speeding – you can prevent unnecessary wear and tear (such as engine, tires, rims, brakes, etc.) or damage to your fleet. This keeps vehicles in better condition.
Reduce fines, legal fees, insurance claims, and increased premiums
Speeding and other traffic violations can incur significant costs. With
Driving behavior monitoring
companies can immediately see whether a vehicle is not complying with the traffic rules and respond accordingly. By making drivers aware of their driving habits and training them on safe driving, fines,
legal complications, insurance claims, and increased premiums are significantly reduced or prevented.
Lower fuel costs
Inefficient driving, such as speeding and aggressive acceleration, leads to higher fuel consumption. By analysing driving behaviour data and encouraging drivers to drive more economically, companies can save a lot on fuel costs. This not only contributes to lower operational costs, but also to a more sustainable fleet.
Better reputation and customer satisfaction
For rental companies, the driving behavior of renters affects the company’s reputation. By setting clear guidelines and using telematics, you limit complaints and damage. This ensures satisfied customers and a professional appearance.
How does driving behaviour monitoring work in practice?
GPS and sensors in vehicles collect driving behaviour data. The data is Analyzed and displayed in dashboards, so that fleet managers get real-time insight. Based on this data, you can coach, reward or adjust drivers in a targeted way. Real-time notifications from our portal can help to intervene in time when (very) extreme driving behaviour occurs.
In short
Investing in driving behaviour monitoring pays off. With GPS tracking and telematics, you can accurately measure speeding, harsh braking and aggressive acceleration. This reduces damage claims, fines and fuel costs, while making your fleet safer, more sustainable and more professional.
