Prince William County is a valued GPS Insight client currently prioritizing fleet safety to reduce incidents and claims.
Your accidents and claims are on the rise and your Risk & Safety and Fleet departments are looking to GPS Insight to help find out why and take the appropriate measures to reduce these incidents.
With your Driver•i pilot underway, you are on the path to identifying risky behaviors and learning how to apply context and coaching to achieve a next-level safety solution. We’ve prepared some information to help you process what’s happening in your vehicles right now!
Most dash cams can only provide evidence after a crash. We believe, though, that preventing crashes is the real goal. Using the right technology will allow you to be proactive in seeing significant behavior change.
Changing drivers’ habits comes from encouraging them to build on their best habits. The more difficult part of the equation is convincing them that they have room for improvement.
Driver•i makes that happen by showing them via video some of the habits they have that could lead to crashes – especially Unsafe Following Distance, Driver Distraction, Stop Sign Violations, and Speeding Violations.
GPS Insight customers see reductions of 70-83% in at-fault accidents, providing significant ROI in legal fees, lost employee time, maintenance, vehicle procurement, and settlements.
One concern many managers raise about video telematics is workload. Will they have time to watch hours of video footage to improve driver behavior?
With Driver•i, they don’t have to. The system lets employees coach themselves in two different ways: A) an app that automatically detects trends in problematic behavior and pushes it to drivers for review and; B) audible in-cab alerts.
Driver•i can improve scores with little manager intervention.
When managers need to get involved, they have a complete set of graphs and metrics in addition to video clips. This leads to fact-based conversations with a better chance for improvement. Drivers and managers must sign off on the sessions, creating a record for all coaching sessions.
Nobody likes to be told that they’re not good at part of their job. Only talking to drivers about their bad habits is a recipe for them to tune out.
Driver•i lets you address their good habits. It automatically evaluates every minute on the road, allowing managers to quickly and easily identify driver, group or fleet issues and to reward good drivers.
Driver•i also awards Driver Stars for smart, courteous actions that make the roads safer – which also adds a bonus to the driver’s Greenzone score. Driver Stars and Greenzone scores can be valuable tools in creating a rewards system that promotes a positive safety culture.
This ensures adoption and to retain your best employees. With this sort of a culture in place, you’ll also have no problems growing your pool of top-quality drivers.
You’ll also notice that it takes just one exoneration for drivers to recognize the benefits Driver•i offers them in the event of a not-at-fault crash.
“Having access to the Driver•i camera video has been a real eye-opener for us. We have Driver Policies regarding cell phone use and seatbelt usage. Even though these are slow moving vehicles most of the time, we still expect our employees to adhere to our policies at all times. The difference between the GPS data and the video is amazing, we had no idea! This will help us in so many ways!”
