During the slippery winter months, an accident with one of your company cars happens quickly, especially when you have drivers who dare to drive recklessly. That's why it's handy when you, as a business owner or fleet manager, can analyze your employees' driving behavior and make adjustments if necessary. Read more about it in this blog!
More accidents in winter months
The winter months are associated with shorter and darker days, freezing temperatures, rain, sleet and snow. All these factors make a car trip many times more dangerous than when you don't have to drive in these conditions. And that translates into the statistics as well, because in winter, significantly more traffic accidents take place.
An accident involving one of your employees and/or a company vehicle is obviously very bad news. After all, it can have (financial) consequences for your business. The employee can sometimes be out of action for weeks and the vehicle is sidelined for a while or even needs to be replaced. However, a business owner cannot always just afford to have a team member out of contention indefinitely.
Currently, you count on blind faith in your drivers, but is that always justified? Aren't they being driven too fast? Pull up too fast at traffic lights? Braking too abruptly? Unfortunately, that blind trust is not always justified. Fortunately, there are ways to analyze the driving style of your employees so that you can rest easy. That way, both your employees and your company vehicles are safe.
Driving behavior analysis with Track & Trace
Thanks to All-Connects' Track & Trace solution, you can now track the driving behavior of your employees. For example, we install a tracker in every company vehicle, which records your employees' driving actions and skills while driving.
All recorded information is then transmitted by the tracker to the overall system. Finally, as a fleet manager or business owner, you can view all data in real time in our app on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
Do you deduce dangerous or irresponsible driving behavior from the statistics? Then you can make timely adjustments to the driver in question where necessary, because it may well be that he himself has no idea of his dangerous driving style.
Parameters
Driving style analysis works on the basis of a number of parameters. For example, the tracker meticulously tracks whether your employee:
- adheres to the speed limit,
- brakes too abruptly,
- takes turns that are too sharp,
- accelerates too violently.
While driving, the system alerts the employee to his/her erroneous driving behavior, thus adjusting the driving behavior at that very moment. For example, the driver receives an automatic alert when a certain parameter is exceeded.
You can use the Track & Trace system also connect it with mobileye technology, which automatically detects pedestrians and cyclists. The technology alerts the driver to the presence of a vulnerable road user in the vicinity of the vehicle.
