Netradyne has expanded its rollout of solutions geared toward enhancing and habitualizing safe driving skills for both commercial fleet drivers and pedestrians by focusing on positive reinforcement.
The expanded rollout of new patented DriverStars called Driver Streaks and Driver Dispute are meant to reinforce safe driving behaviors.
Once a positive measurement is achieved by a driver, Netradyne’s Driver·i devices automatically capture video and award a Driver Streak, a subtype of DriverStars within the Netradyne system.
Examples of possible Driver Streaks include a Stop Sign Streak, which is achieved when a driver stops at consecutive stop signs; or a Safe Speed Streak, achieved when a driver completes a significant total of monitored driving minutes without going above the set speed threshold.
Driver Streaks also includes consecutive driving while being distraction-free as well as maintaining a safe following distance during their trip.
“The biggest thing I’ve noticed is the reduction in phone calls and issues since implementing the Driver·i system,” Sharp Transit EVP Skip Wood said. “If we continue to prioritize our attention on drivers highlighted by the GreenZone alerts and scores (both high and low performers), we will see a dramatic improvement in overall performance.”
Additionally, Driver·i recognizes driver actions like creating space for a vehicle on a street shoulder or achieving separation by slowing down and automatically awards a DriverStar, which has a positive impact on drivers’ GreenZone Scores. DriverStars can also be initiated by safety managers or earned through positive driving performance and reaction.
Easily accessible through the Driver·i portal (IDMS) and in the Driver App, Netradyne is also introducing a new Driver Dispute feature that allows drivers to dispute a claim they perceive as inaccurate.
Safety managers are notified when a driver has submitted a dispute for a particular alert and can work with their drivers to understand the concern while helping them feel heard.
Netradyne President Adam Kahn noted that a recent case study of 100 global customers over 90 days showed a direct correlation between DriverStars and improved safety.
With a 72% increase in DriverStars, drivers' GreenZone Scores increased by 20%, and they dropped severely risky events by 65% and moderately risky events by 34%.
That includes an 81% decrease in speeding and a 22% decrease in distracted driving, which are highly correlated with accidents.
“Netradyne goes way beyond identifying risks. We’re driver advocates. We empower fleets to celebrate the skill and thoughtfulness their drivers demonstrate daily. We’ve seen proof that positive reinforcement and continued performance training make a big impact on fleet safety results and overall safety culture”, Kahn said.
Fleet drivers face constant visual, cognitive, and environmental interruptions the moment they hit the road. From roadside chaos to mental fatigue and digital overload, today’s biggest driving risks often come from outside the vehicle itself.
