The dashboard highlights the safety risks for your vehicles and drivers, and shows the scores for utilization and discipline based on their behavior.

Key Takeaways:

  • The dashboard helps to detect and identify safety risks and decrease those events them before major accidents will occur.

  • The dashboard provides data on the operational usage of the vehicles both in terms of utilization and efficiency – working time and idling time out of the total engine hours.

Driving, Discipline, and Utilization Scores

  • Discipline score - Score based on the number of idling hours counted for the vehicle. Idling is aehicle status indicating the engine is running, but there is no movement detected. Idling is triggered by default following 5 minutes of non-movement.

  • Utilization score - Score based on the percentage of the engine used over an entire working day.

  • Working day - Calculation of the hours from the first time the vehicle is On and the last time the vehicle is Off. Working hours do not take into account the On and Off status of the vehicle during the day.

  • Engine hours - Calculates the number of hours the vehicle was on. This includes idling hours.

  • Vehicle utilization - Calculated as a percentage of engine hours from working hours as follows: Vehicle utilization = (engine hours/working hours) * 100

Example:

The vehicle first started at 8 am in the morning. The vehicle took several trips and was last turned off at 8 pm.

Working hours = 12 hours

During this time, the vehicle’s engine was on for 6 hours

Engine hours = 6 hours

Vehicle utilization = (6/12) * 100

Vehicle utilization = 50%

Safety Events

  • Accelerometer Events – include events related to acceleration, brakes, and turns.

  • ADAS Events – include forward collision events, lane violations, and pedestrian events.

  • Speeding events – include speeding events of all levels (warning, caution, advisory).
