Innovative GPS Tracking Solutions to Improve Fleet Safety

Fleet owners need reliable methods to reduce risk and improve safety, but that can be hard to accomplish without the proper data. For example, fleet owners may suspect some of their drivers are habitual speeders. However, they cannot prove it without technology or until law enforcement pulls over the driver. By that point, the damage is done.

How Safety Affects Business Operations

Several factors, such as speeding tickets, influence a driver’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) score. The more violations a driver accrues, the more points he or she accumulates. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) uses a Safety Measurement System (SMS) in tandem with CSA scores to identify high-risk fleets.

The SMS does this by reviewing several Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASIC). The SMS then assigns fleets a BASIC percentile based on the quantity and severity of the violations. It also takes into consideration how long it has been since the violations occurred. The higher a fleet falls on the percentile scale, the more likely they will require interventions to continue operations.

The Benefits of GPS Tracking

To improve BASIC percentile scores, fleets need their drivers to improve their CSA scores. To do this, drivers need to cut out risky behaviors to avoid amassing violations. Fleet managers can engage their drivers in safety meetings and encourage a culture of safety at all times but this will only go so far. Without technology (and short of being in the cab with their drivers), fleet managers can only hope their drivers will follow safety standards and laws.

Telematics provides numerous benefits. One of its greatest abilities is fleet connectivity. Fleet managers can see exactly how their drivers are operating their vehicles and address issues before they result in violations and fines. This makes for safer fleets and helps lower costs. Fleets can save money with telematics by reducing fines and fees for safety violations as well as improving fuel economy with safe driving practices. Fleets can also negotiate lower insurance rates by improving their overall safety.
