Speed data is an extremely important tool to influence your professional driver behavior through consistent messaging to reduce your company’s driver speeding percentage to improve your safety reputation.
Speed has been identified by in-depth accident analysis as the number one cause of accidents and the biggest factor in severity. Many fleets have subscribed to the speed limit violation services offered by SpeedGauge and increasingly forward-facing camera providers are including relative speed limit compliance information. Given speeding’s factor in crashes, speeding data is imperative to improving safety. If you have this data available and are not consistently using it to improvise your safety culture you are vulnerable to this primary accelerant for a Nuclear Award.
The unresolved and important part of speed data is whether it is “too fast for conditions”. This evaluation needs additional data context such as weather, local road conditions, traffic density, and construction integrated into the evaluation. If speed is evaluated as part of the harsh event video information as offered by TVS SmartCoach™ VI, it can provide greater coaching opportunities and assist in improving your reputation as a safe carrier.
TVS SafetyCoach™ Speed automates and contextualizes speed data available from fleet sources to provide feedback to drivers on a scheduled basis. We have proven consistent contextualized messaging to drivers results in lower speeding percentages.
