Vehicle Telematics Program Guidelines



Vehicle telematics systems can provide fleet managers valuable data to help improve operational efficiencies and fleet safety. Operationally, the data can help with vehicle location, better communication with drivers on the road, navigational support, route and workflow optimization and fuel and customer service benefits. These devices can also capture data about driving behaviors, such as speeding, braking, abrupt lane changes and idling. Using this data as part of an ongoing safe driving feedback and coaching program can help reduce the potential for accidents and help keep your drivers, customers and the public safe.
It is important to get driver buy-in for your telematics and feedback program. Begin by having an open discussion.
- Explain the operational data collected by your telematics system and its operational benefits
- 解释您的远程信息处理系统收集的数据及其在帮助加强驾驶安全方面的作用
- Discuss your safe driving feedback program. Let drivers know that:
- 该计划旨在确认安全的驾驶,并确定安全驾驶改进的机会。这是一个积极的会议,以加强和鼓励安全的驾驶行为。
- You will be providing and seeking feedback, and explain how often.
- The feedback session is a two-way street. There may be circumstances that are not explained by the data alone. For instance, hard braking may not necessarily be an indication of speeding. Instead, it may be an action by your driver to avoid a potential accident when another driver suddenly cut in front of them.
- Driving behavior data also may offer evidence that your driver was, in fact, driving safely.
- 查看您的安全驾驶政策,道路规则和安全驾驶期望。您的反馈和教练会议可能是审查公司安全驾驶政策,道路规则和安全驾驶期望的机会。
