Note, that no matter how well conceived, developed and manufactured a safety related product is, it is simply a tool to be used by concerned, committed, and competent management dedicated to improving fleet driver safety and reducing fleet driver risk. Investment in the tools to reduce driver risk is just the beginning; it is reliant on management oversight and commitment to determine the level of fleet driver safety and fleet driver risk the company is exposed to.
Active Fleet Driver Risk Management
The “Active” driver alerts from vehicle based events can provide an immediate notice and constant reminder that management has the technological tools in place to monitor not only the vehicle location, speed and other data functions, when drivers exceed preset safe driving parameters .
This type of active oversight by management, creates the level of personal driver accountability that has been missing from this market workforce. The awareness that someone is watching you, that they are holding you accountable for your actions and when you fail to act in a safe driving manor in this time of exploding unemployment, where employees may be much more thankful of their current employment.
Driver Risk Issues
Unmanaged Driver Risk can cause massive realized losses with unnecessary liability in a otherwise healthy and thriving company or district transportation department. Far too often we see news reports of undisciplined, unprofessional drivers causing accidents, while sending text messages on their cell phones or Blackberries, when they should be concentrating on driving their vehicles. This form of Driver Risk is a direct result of dangerous driver behavior and poor choices both of which in many cases are 100% preventable if the driver learns to recognizes the dangers and agrees not to do these distracting things while driving company vehicles.
Highlight Dangerous Driving Behaviors Before An Accident
- Documents what happens in front of vehicle, can document head on collisions, or following too closely
- Documents Speeding, GPS On Screen Mapping shows you what road and speed limit signs
- Documents Running Red Lights & Stop Signs, are they really stopping or just rolling on through
- Documents Failure to Stop At Railroad Crossings, verify if crossing arms were working in an accident
- Documents Hard Braking through use of "G" sensors that may indicate they are distracted while driving
- Documents Dangerous Turns (high speeds that can cause loss of control and rollover of vehicle)
- Documents Vehicle Impacts For Accident Claim Disputes (both front rear or side impact)
- Documents Drinking, Eating, Sending Text Messages, Cell Phone Use (all can contribute to accidents)
- Documents Taxi Cab Customer Payment Collection (document if passengers paid or ran)
- Documents Driver Assaults, Can Aid In Prosecution (cameras offer deterrence to crime)
- Documents In-Vehicle Driver Passenger Interaction (records A&V of arguments, threats, abuse)
- Documents Accident Data for replay in court (audio, video GPS & G sensor data can be used)
- Documents Accidents If Driver Does Not (some accidents may seem minor until charges for hit & run)
Oversight To Insure Company Policy & Risk Prevention
- Does the driver text on a phone when they are driving?
- Does the driver surf the net on a laptop PC while driving?
- Does the driver watch video movies or TV while Driving?
- Does the driver pickup hitchhikers?
- Does the driver use the company vehicle for non-company work?
- Does the driver act in a way that your company may be sued?
- Does the driver have unauthorized passengers in the vehicle?
- Did the driver stay on route or wander all over the place?
- Did the driver make personal trips in the vehicle?
- Was the vehicle used on weekends for unauthorized trips?
- Where the vehicle is parked during the day and nights?
Passenger Risk Issues
Unmanaged Passenger Risk can also cause massive realized losses with unnecessary liability to passenger transportation companies or pupil transportation department. It is vital to document problems, identify their cause, review any intervention and the end results in a worse case scenario, or successful passenger situation resolution to provide invaluable information and evidence that can be reviewed and possibly used to improve the awareness or ability of the driver of transport agency in resolving similar problems in the future. Unsafe Passenger Behaviors Documented:
* Fights Between Passengers
* Gang Related Activities
* Civil or Criminal Violations of Law
* Drug Use, Sale or Distribution
* Vehicle Vandalism, Cutting Seats, Graffiti
* Throwing Items Out Windows
* Sexual Acts With or Without Consent
* Assaults or Abuse Towards The Driver
* Alcohol Abuse or Smoking on The Vehicle
* Other Dangerous Activities While in The Vehicle
* Standing or Walking in Vehicle While in Motion
Diligent and committed oversight by management are essential to enable this system reach it's full potential in enhancing driver safety and eco-drive conservation of fuel up to 25%. Should management not exhibit following through on their oversight of this system, then it is unrealistic to expect the companies drivers to follow suite as should management not care about safety and reducing wasted fuel and unnecessary air pollution, then why should they.
Too often large fleets suffer great losses in damaged product, additional labor, warranty claims, accidents, excessive fuel costs or efficiency due to poorly trained, disinterested or dangerous drivers. Our goal is to provide an active and verifiable mechanism that can actively encourage borderline drivers to be much safer, less wasteful of the fuel they could be saving, more conscious of their driving behaviors and a long term asset to their company, district or municipality. It is our hope that with the support and oversight of management, most drivers who exhibit dangerous or apathetic driving behaviors, can be polished by sufficient education and IVMS reminders & documentation to the best interest of safe driving with fuel conservation in mind.
There will be those few, who are incapable or unwilling to refrain from their potentially dangerous driving behaviors, learn how to become a safer or more efficient driver and will continue to become a potential safety hazard to others who share the roads with them. They are usually easily identified with any competent training program and dealt with from a management level through reassessment of job related skills, reassignment of job tasks or elimination.
The clear and present threat to both safe driving and eco-drive conservation is the driver who passes the routine screening process, drives in a responsible, safe manor to pass the tests, then once freedom is at hand, he is in complete control over his actions with no meddling instructor sitting by their side, no management looking over their shoulder, now they proceed to operate their company vehicles any way they choose and often in direct violation of; company eco-drive policy, company safety standards and often in violation of common sense or state law.
In these cases the In Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) will document their problems, their violations in law or company guidelines, will provide reminders that they are operating in a potentially unsafe manor and against the specific guidelines set by their fleet managers or administration. In these hopefully rare cases the continuous recording, 2, 3 or 4 cameras, the GPS mapping, the 3-axis "G" sensors in them will provide the same recorded evidence in order to remove them from their ability to be a detriment to the fleet and eliminate the possibility that they will someday cause serious liability damages to property, personal injury or vehicular death to themselves or others.
The SD4 will help train your drivers to drive safely and document for later review by management what potentially dangerous driving behaviors they might be unaware of that could end up costing them their jobs, or their lives?
While they are learning to drive in a safer manor, they will also be saving your company up to 25% in wasted fuel, while reducing considerably the air pollution caused by wasting fuel.
