Embracing the power of innovation isn’t just about better understanding routes. It’s about taking charge and avoiding potential dangers before they happen.
AS operators across Australia implement the latest telematics advancements, the goal is to become more efficient and use that boost to benefit the operation’s safety culture.
Today, technology can detect more than just speed. What was dashcams has evolved into video telematics to significantly offer the ability to monitor behaviours while recording in real-time. With both forward and inward-facing cameras providing real-time driver assistance alerts, the system can provide a more comprehensive view of the driver’s surroundings – a technological co-pilot.
It also gives fleet and safety managers deep insights into what’s happening on the road, allowing them to coach drivers for better on-road performance and optimise significant cost centres like fuel burn and scheduled maintenance.
A smart video telematics solution works right alongside the driver and will warn them if they’re braking, accelerating or manoeuvring too harshly. The smart cameras will also let drivers know if they’re drowsy or distracted, allowing them to act immediately.
When an event is triggered via a specific threshold, such as looking down at a mobile phone, the system triggers an audible alert to the driver. It also records and securely uploads the footage and telematics data to the cloud for the fleet manager to review.
This means managers can actively coach their drivers for better performance and reward the drivers who are doing the right thing.
Video telematics is fully integrated into our fleet management software, TN360. This enables seamless integration into a control hub for fleet managers, allowing you to view event footage or request additional recordings.
Empowering drivers during emergencies
The real-time platform lets you easily access the data you need to improve safety, streamline coaching and protect your drivers.
Driver-initiated events let them press an emergency record button, which means critical footage is retained and instantly available in the telematics platform, serving as the ultimate safety net.
To ensure optimal performance and integration, Teletrac Navman offers advanced features that go beyond monitoring, providing real-time assistance and contributing to a culture of safety.
Rewarding a safety-first culture
Driver rewards programs are a way of incentivising drivers to operate safely and efficiently by recognising driver achievements. It can also offer a significant return on investment.
Rewards programs focused on performance and safety can lead to a measurable increase in fleet efficiency and can help you save costs with fewer accidents and lower insurance premiums.
Driver safety programs can also positively impact the company’s public image.
A fleet known for its safety standards and efficient operations is more likely to attract new business, maintain current customer relations and foster growth.
Inclusive practices drive safety benefits
Incorporating diversity into safety training acknowledges varied backgrounds, experiences, and learning styles of employees, promotes equity, enhances communication, understanding and engagement, leading to safer and more efficient workplace practices.
Teletrac Navman, in partnership with the Australian Trucking Association (ATA), has created a diversity and inclusion program to enhance safety and efficiency within the trucking industry.
The “Driving Inclusion” program aims to attract and retain a diverse workforce by overcoming barriers such as unconscious bias and fear of discrimination.
