Importance of Fleet Safety

Image
  Fleet safety is a major focus when businesses require a fleet of vehicles to move their products from one location to another. Some of the most important goals of fleet safety are to address the rise in at-fault accident rate and create a safety-first culture during the implementation of fleet safety. With a good fleet safety platform, you can easily analyze the road risks, reduce the accidents, increase efficiency, fleet tracking in real-time, and monitor fuel usage and idle time across your entire fleet. It is not only important to avoid the accidents and risks, but also determine which risky driver behaviors you need to address, such as harsh braking, speeding, and distracted driving. Safe driving habits include: Maintain focus: Avoid texting, eating/drinking, talking to people, that takes your attention away. Be alert: Avoid driving when tired/sick. Maintain gap between vehicles: Maintain safe distance while driving. Follow traffic rules: Always follow traffic rules, signals...

The Importance of Telematics Based Insurance

Image
  Introduction Technology is rapidly changing the commercial fleet industry, along with this telematics and GPS solutions are altering how fleet managers monitor their assets. With the rise of these groundbreaking technologies, insurance companies are also using telematics. Telematics has led to the development of usage-based insurance (UBI). This insurance structure bases premiums on driver safety scores, monitored via OBDs or smartphones. The telematic system tracks driver’s trips and assigns scores based on their driving behavior such as speeding, hard braking and fast acceleration. Vehicles with drivers having a good driving score can avail insurance at a low premium. In some cases, fleet owners can save up to 40 percent if their fleet and driver safety scores are at a good mark, ensuring reduced cost.  The UBI market is growing each year. Between 2015 to 2016, the market grew by 32 percent.   The global automotive usage-based insurance (UBI) market was forecast to g...
