Texas AirSystems: Safe Driving – Without Big Brother

prepared for

Texas AirSystems

Today’s best employees understand that driving safely matters. And if they’re going to have to be accountable for their driving, they want the system measuring them to be fair.

That’s reasonable. The right solution for Texas AirSystems should provide a positive experience for all 100 of your drivers.The Driveri smart camera can provide your employees with facts that make them safer along with full fleet-wide transparency.

Driveri also recognizes drivers for their good habits, which creates a far better working environment than limited technology like cell blockers.

Measuring Beyond the Bad Habits

Imagine judging Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan by all the shots they missed. Considering the many scoring records they hold, it would be unfair to focus on the misses, right?

With Driveri, you’ll be able to see what your employees do right while driving. Rather than just a brief glimpse into their time behind the wheel, you’ll have complete visibility into every moment on the road.

You’ll know how many minutes were incident free. Even better, you’ll also know when they earn DriverStars for actions like allowing another driver to merge or coming to a complete stop at 75 consecutive stop signs.

This focus on positive driving is a proven way to create a true culture of safety.

Self-Coaching Empowers Employees

No two crashes will cost you the same amount. But it’s possible to project possible costs based on averages.Imagine three types of vehicle crashes: the fender bender, the minor injury accident, and the serious injury accident. For this projection, we’ll focus on the middle ground: a crash that causes injuries, but nothing life-altering.

Consider how many accidents you’ve had in the past few years and how much you’ve paid out for them. How much do they cost you per vehicle, per month, on average? Would that be more or less than the cost of deploying safety measures?There’s another variable worth mentioning – how much of this would be an out-of-pocket cost for Vivint? This can vary based on your insurance terms. Some organizations self-insure, which means they’d bear the entire cost.

AI Saves Time and Effort

With most camera solutions, coaching your drivers can be time consuming. You’ll have to review footage, arrange meetings with the drivers, and make some difficult judgment calls.Driveri makes the early decisions for you based on the parameters you set.

When drivers trigger alerts, you’ll get an automatic notification in real time. You can also see a breakdown of alerts in your Driveri portal. The easy-to-read charts allow you to get the information you need without pouring over video footage.

Targeting the Most-Dangerous Behaviors

According to insurance professionals, fleets will have a serious injury for every 600 near misses. With conventional telematics and typical video telematics solutions, you simply can’t target behaviors that lead to near misses.Driveri, though, allows you to pinpoint three leading causes of near misses: distracted driving, tailgating, and rolling through red lights or stop signs.

Driveri uses edge computing combined with computer vision to see what other cameras can’t see:

  • A driver who is looking down at a phone, drifting off to sleep, or obstructing the camera’s view
  • An employee following other vehicles too closely
  • Your vehicle failing to stop completely at stop signs or red lights
It’s important to remember, though, that Driveri provides an in-cab audio warning to help drivers coach themselves in real time without notifying you. This helps uphold your hands-free policy, for example, without making employees feel like Big Brother is watching.
