Want to know why your driver uses more fuel than his or her colleagues? And do you want to adjust that? Are you looking for a way to get your drivers to respect speed limits? Want to know which driver is responsible for damage to one of your vehicles? You can do all that by equipping your vehicles with sensors. In an app, you can keep an eye on who is driving which vehicle and how your drivers are driving.
Proven: driving behavior analysis yields
Your fleet's fuel, maintenance, repair and insurance costs: do you want to keep them under control? Then you need to know how your drivers drive. When you analyze and discuss their driving habits with them, they consume less, make fewer crashes and your vehicles require less maintenance.
A study by UC Leuven-Limburg University College and DrivOlution training center confirms this: analysis and adjustment of driving behavior results in 19 to 24% fewer accidents and reduces fuel consumption by 6 to 8.5%. And not only that: drivers who know their driving behavior also deal with their car in a more (environmentally) conscious way.
But you can't just alert drivers to their driving habits; you need reliable information.
Driving behavior analysis, how does it work?
- We place GPS trackers in your vehicles and connect them to on-board computers.
- Each tracker records what your drivers do.
- Data is continuously sent to the app.
- You view all that info in real time on jesmartphone, tablet or PC.
These dates will be given to you:
- When and how hard your drivers brake
- How often and how hard they accelerate
- When they drive too fast
- How they take turns
- The number of revolutions they make their engine make
- ...
Pay less maintenance and repair costs
Think one or more of your drivers or employees has a heavy foot, doesn't follow traffic rules too closely, and/or drives aggressively by tailgating or overtaking where it's not allowed, for example? With the data on their driving behavior, you'll push them to the limit. That way, you can adjust their driving style and reduce the chances of them being involved in an accident. Do you already like to do that while driving? As soon as they cross a limit, they get an immediate warning.
Save on your fuel costs
How you drive determines how much fuel you consume. Driving in high revs, braking and accelerating a lot, revving the engine at traffic lights: it drives fuel consumption sky high. When you make your drivers aware of this with hard data, you will see your fuel costs drop.
Get a discount on your insurance costs
Several insurers reward companies that invest in safety and ecology with discounts on insurance premiums. A tracking system with driving behavior analysis and ecodrive is one way to get that discount. Your insurer will calculate your discount based on the data from your system.
Know who is behind the wheel
Do different drivers and employees regularly drive the same vehicle? With the driver identification option, you know perfectly who is driving which vehicle and when. When starting and stopping, the driver is identified. This way, you not only monitor his or her driving behavior, but you can also make him or her pay traffic fines or repair costs without discussion.
Grant for transportation companies
As a transport company, are you investing in track & trace to make your drivers drive more safely and economically? For such a driving analysis system, Flanders rewards you with a subsidy that can amount to 80% of the total amount, with a maximum of 5,000 euros per truck and a total of 100,000 euros spread over 3 years. You can apply for this subsidy via the Enterprise Counter.
And one more push: if you are committed to safer and more fuel-efficient driving, you can have a shot at the Truck Safety Award. The jury looks at the safety equipment of your trucks and the driving habits of your drivers, among other things.
