SmartDrive SmartIQ Beat Collision Driver Snapshot for Trucking

Smart IQ Beat Snapshots provide in-depth analysis and metrics of top fleet performance trends based on SmartDrive’s database of over 140 million analyzed and scored driving events.

The inaugural SmartIQ Beat Snapshot examines one of the major cost drivers for fleets today, collisions.

The SmartDrive Collision Snapshot for trucking illuminates key observations that distinguish collision drivers (those involved in at least one collision during the analysis period) from non-collision drivers.

Notably, data analysis clearly demonstrates that collision drivers are less safe, consume more fuel and are more distracted across the board when compared to non-collision drivers.

Furthermore, it is evident that near-miss collisions - particularly those involving a pedestrian - are a key indicator of future collisions.

SmartDrive SmartIQ Beat Snapshots Highlights

• On average, SmartIQ Safety Score for Collision Drivers is 26.7% higher than Non-Collision Drivers
• On average, MPG for Collision Drivers is 7.5% lower than for Non-Collision Driver
• Collision Drivers typically have at least 2x higher near collision rate than Non-Collision Drivers
• Excessive Speeding (> 10 mph Over Limit) is most correlated to collision risk, with Collision Drivers exhibiting this fundamental driving error 1.72x more frequently than Non-Collision Driver
• Smoking and Mobile Phone - Talking (Hands Free) are the most frequent distraction observations for all drivers. Collision Drivers exhibit these distractions more frequently than Non-Collision Drivers at the rate of 1.37x and 1.41x, respectively

This SmartIQ Beat Snapshot compares collision vs non-collision drivers and their propensity to exhibit specific risks and at what frequency.

With this information, fleets are able to target optimization strategies based on relevant and predictive performance differences across segments to improve safety, reduce fuel consumption and lower overall costs.
