Driving is a demanding and dangerous activity. It is also the leading cause of death among professions as tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Drivers must stay attentive and continually apply good driving practices – in all types of weather, during heavy commute times, and often surrounded by distracted drivers – while meeting rigorous passenger or delivery schedules.
- The odds of being involved in a safety-critical event are 3.51 times greater when a driver is dialing his cell phone.1
- More collisions or near avoidable collisions occur on Monday between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. than any other time of day/day of week.2
- On average, there are over 6,400,000 vehicle crashes each year. Twenty-four (24) percent of these crashes are weather-related.3
Against this backdrop, it is perhaps not surprising that 95% of all collisions are due to the direct result of driver error.4
Focus on the Driver – Driver Risk Management
At DriveCam, we are focused on drivers – understanding the challenges they confront and helping them perform, everyday, to the best of their ability. An integral part of this commitment is to help drivers avoid the devastating effects of being involved in a collision – and exonerating drivers when they are wrongly blamed in a no-fault collision.
Unfortunately, despite enormous strides in automotive safety technology, fleet operators still have limited insight into how safely and efficiently drivers are performing day to day. Operators must often rely on lagging indicators – data from black box recorders, traffic violations or actual collisions – to identify a concerning driver behaviors or habits. And these solutions – often focusing on the negative – give little opportunity to reward drivers for a job well done. With a focus on protecting drivers and preventing collisions, DriveCam is dedicated to developing solutions that underscore true driver performance.
Focus on Science
DriveCam is dedicated to uncovering simplicity – the insights and best practices that optimize efficient and safe driving.
I wouldn’t give a nickel for the simplicity on this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.” -Albert Einstein
By monitoring tens of thousands of vehicles every day, and mining our growing database of more than 4 billion driving miles, DriveCam transforms volumes of data into simple priorities that help our clients prevent collisions and eliminate unneeded operating expense.
Beyond data, DriveCam is focused on behavior change management, the foundation of building a world-class safety culture. This is why the DriveCam program provides a flexible approach to driver training and coaching to help fleet managers adopt the best mix for their organization and operational environment.
Driver Science is the passion that makes us different from every other driver risk management solution available. For more information, contact DriveCam today.
