Integrated Video driver safety score

The safety score is a number between 0 and 100 that uses camera and tracker data to determine how safe a driver is each week. The lower the score, the higher the risk that the driver could be involved in a serious incident in the future.

Each week, the safety score resets to 100.  Starting from 100, the safety score is negatively impacted by the following factors detected during the week:

These factors combine to create point values that are deducted from 100. This produces the weekly safety score.

Our AI model analyses the common patterns of unsafe driving behaviours that occur months or years leading up to a collision. The model uses this data to predict which behaviours carry a higher risk of collision. Despite the classification level, riskier behaviours impact the score more negatively than others as they are more likely to lead to a collision in future.

High collision predictors are driving behaviours such as Hard braking, Tailgating and Posted speed exceeded. These behaviours will result in a higher point reduction of the safety score, compared to lower collision predictors such as Smoking.

Use the Coaching opportunities section to identify these behaviours and prepare for a coaching session with a driver. Discussing these behaviours with a driver can reduce the risk of serious incidents. Keep in mind the following statistics:

A useful goal for your driver could be, for example, a safety score of 85. On average, 20% of all drivers will fall below this score. Drivers with a safety score lower than 85 are twice as likely to be involved in a collision in the near future.

Safer driving can result in a score closer to 100. However, other factors that may influence a driver’s score are:

The Video > Drivers tab shows a list of driver names, each driver’s Video safety score and the associated Trend.

Driver: A list of driver names and a link to view. By default, the list is from lowest score to highest score. Unassigned drivers will not appear in the list.

Trend: How the score has changed over the last 4 weeks.

Most frequent behaviours: The 3 most frequent non-minor behaviours, occurring in the last 4 weeks.

Last coached: When the driver was last coached.

Actions: A link to view the driver’s safety profile.

Due to the various factors that impact the safety score, it is important that fleet managers do not use driver safety scores to compare the performance of drivers in their fleet. Instead, the score should be used to identify areas of discussion ahead of a coaching session, with the aim of reducing the risk of serious incidents and improving the overall safety of individual drivers over time.

To ensure that safety score data is accurate, do the following:

Use the Coaching opportunities section to identify behaviours that may help improve a driver’s score in the future. For example, areas a driver should focus on to improve their safety score.

The additional information in the driver safety profile data helps you to identify how this driver can maintain or improve safer driving habits over time. This can help you to prepare for a coaching session.

The behaviours detected by a device depends on:

When a fleet has different devices installed in vehicles, a driver’s score may not be comparable to another driver. Also, a driver’s score may be affected if they are assigned to various vehicles with different devices.

The Video safety score is not related to the safety score found in the Dashboard tab, Driving style summary report or Custom summary report. The scores are independent of one another, and do not share the same calculation.

The safety score found in the Dashboard tab only uses data from the vehicle tracker in its calculations. The Video weekly safety score uses data from all of the following:

Safety data will be used for coaching and training purposes, and to help build a safety culture within your organisation. All safety data should be validated with a driver to clarify whether an unsafe driving behaviour was to prevent an accident.
