Trimble Driver Safety

Trimble Driver Safety is a cloud-based solution that enables organisations with field-based workforces to conduct driver-specific monitoring of aggressive manoeuvres such as rapid acceleration, harsh braking, hard turns and excessive speeding.

The solution features in-vehicle hardware which sends visual and audible alerts to drivers when their actions are outside the safety guidelines set by their organisation. Red, yellow and green LEDs are used to provide drivers with instant feedback on their driving safety level and an audible beep alerts them when their current action is outside the safe range, so they can make immediate changes to their driving style. Over time this helps them learn better driving techniques to keep them safer on the road, minimising accidents and protecting the company’s reputation.

Trimble Driver Safety also enables complete back-office analysis of aggressive driving manoeuvres which can be displayed using a range of scorecards, consoles and reports.

The Driver Scorecard helps managers evaluate specific driving skills enabling them to identify behaviour trends over time and areas where drivers may require training. Managers are also able to easily view and compare trends in driving performance across their entire fleet, using the Executive Console.

The Trimble solution also features the Driver Safety Map, which pinpoints the location of a vehicle at a specific time so organisations with mobile workforces can respond to unsafe driving complaints and traffic incident claims.

Driver Safety is part of Trimble’s integrated suite of field service management solutions, which also includes Fleet Management and Work Management.
