Driver Behaviour Monitoring: Safe and Efficient Driving

Eco-Speed: The percentage of driving time your vehicle maintains an eco-friendly speed, customisable in settings.

Excessive Idling: Engine-on standing time as a percentage of total driving time, with a default threshold of 2 minutes.

Cruise Control Usage: The percentage of driving time your vehicle spends with cruise control engaged, over 60 km/h.

Coasting: Instances where your vehicle coasts for at least 10 seconds with speed over 10 km/h, displayed as a percentage of total driving time.

Harsh Braking: Instances where speed decreases by more than 3.4 m/s (12 km/h), displayed as the number of times in the selected period.

Harsh Acceleration: Increases in speed of more than 2.2 m/s (8 km/h), displayed as the number of times in the selected period.

Harsh Cornering: Detection of lateral acceleration of more than 0.37g (~ 3.7m/s2), displayed as the number of times in the selected period.

Driving Green Engine Speed: The percentage of driving time your vehicle maintains an engine speed below 1750 RPM.

Speeding: Reporting on speeding events based on customisable parameters, displaying speeding as a percentage of total driving time.

Once you sign up for driver monitoring with Mapon, you'll need to log in to the platform and rate each metric on a scale of 1 to 10 to determine its importance. This weighting system influences the average driver score, which is shown to each driver or vehicle along with colour codes and percentages. This average score helps identify the most and least efficient drivers or vehicles and calculates the fleet's average score.

Driver behaviour analysis involves assessing how drivers operate vehicles to ensure they're driving safely and efficiently. A driving monitoring system is a software type that continuously tracks driving habits. This system monitors a range of parameters including speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and many more.

Driving behaviour monitoring uses two types of data sources – CAN and GPS protocols that track how vehicles are driven. This data is then analysed using algorithms to identify patterns of behaviour such as speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration. Specific devices must be installed on vehicles for both data sources to work. Once it's done, fleet managers can access real-time reports to monitor driver performance, improve safety, and optimise fleet operations.

Driver behaviour is crucial in fleet management as it directly affects road safety and driving costs. Risky manoeuvres result in additional fuel expenses and accelerated vehicle depreciation. That's why it is important to perform driver monitoring and take appropriate action when necessary.

Utilising driver tracking lets you optimise costs by minimising maintenance, fuel, and repair expenses resulting from traffic accidents. Accessing driving behaviour scores on your phone allows for real-time monitoring from anywhere. The app also generates comprehensive reports to oversee individual driver and vehicle performance, identifying areas for improvement.

Driver monitoring software provides real-time feedback on driving behaviour. By tracking metrics such as speeding, harsh braking and cornering as well as many other parameters, drivers become more aware of their actions and get to know their areas for improvement. Additionally, the information obtained from tracking software can be used for incentives such as bonus payments.

Yes, driver tracking solutions adhere to relevant privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. This includes requirements for data protection, transparency, and individual rights.
