Integrated Video driver safety score

A driver safety score is a number between 0 and 100 that is calculated using camera and tracker data. This score is used to determine how safely your drivers drove their vehicles over the previous week. The lower the score, the higher the risk that a driver might be involved in a serious incident in the future.

Each week, these safety scores reset to 100. This initial score of 100 is then lowered if any of the following risk factors are detected during the following week, and based the number of times they occur:

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

High collision predictors are driving behaviors such as Hard braking, Tailgating and Posted speed exceeded. These behaviors 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 behaviors and prepare for a coaching session with a driver. Discussing these behaviors with a driver can reduce the risk of serious incidents. Keep in mind the following statistics:

A useful goal for your drivers could be, for example, a safety score of 85. On average, 20% of all drivers 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 might 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. The following information is included:

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.

Video safety score: The latest safety score, available at the end of each week.

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

Most frequent behaviors: The 3 most frequent non-minor behaviors, 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 behaviors 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 behaviors 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 organization. All safety data should be validated with a driver to clarify whether an unsafe driving behavior was to prevent an accident.
