Monitoring driving behaviour
Trackers use accelerometers and speed data to detect harsh braking, rapid acceleration, sharp cornering and speeding against posted limits. Each event is time-stamped and mapped.
- Use scores to coach, not to punish; focus on trends rather than single events
- Recognise improvement as well as problems
- Agree thresholds with drivers so they are seen as fair
Accident and impact alerts
Some devices can flag a sudden impact and send an alert with the exact location, so managers can check on the driver and arrange assistance.
Roadside assistance and lone workers
When a driver breaks down on an unfamiliar road, the office can see precisely where they are and share that with recovery services. For staff who work alone, panic or SOS buttons add another layer of protection.
Supporting compliance
Accurate journey records help demonstrate that driving hours, speed policies and site rules are being followed. They are not a substitute for regulated tachographs where those are legally required.
