Methods to Help Management Prevent Crashes

According to a new study, the number of reported crashes has increased 20% over the last 3 years. Measuring a driver’s telematics score through a variety of parameters such as driving speed, number of miles traveled and events to determine potentially unsafe driving behaviors. The problem is a few severely bad drivers can skewer the data very easily.

Key Takeaways:

• Driving these costs are medical care expenses, which now outpace the Consumer Price Index, along with higher bodily injury and property damage payments.
• Managers can score and rank drivers using parameters such as the number of events recorded in total, per driver, per set number of miles, and type of event.
• The problem is that a few bad performers can drive up the average event rate, leaving mediocre drivers looking like excellent performers.
