TOMR Telematics systems can help you improve safety standards by monitoring truck speed and aggressive driving (acceleration/deceleration) and assist in developing a driver fatigue management plan that promotes compliance whilst ensuring routine maintenance is scheduled.
By managing speed and driver fatigue, you not only have a process for saving costs but also can increase safety and save lives. RTA Statistics support this claim.
- About 12% of heavy truck crashes involve speeding.
- On average, 8% of heavy truck fatal crashes involve a fatigued driver.
- About 30% of trucks involved in crashes had serious or dangerous faults, brake failure being a major contributor.
These events burden the fleet operator with, what could have been in many instances, avoidable costs. And lives could have been saved.
Telematics is not meant to be ‘big brother’ to drivers. In fact, it can make their job easier by reducing their, and your, paperwork. More importantly, for the majority of drivers who do the right thing, it improves their personal safety and that of other road users.
