While drivers are the final stop in managing risk, evolving vehicle technology has played a big role in risk management as well.
Motor vehicle crashes and falls remained the leading causes of preventable death on the job in 2018, as preventable and unintentional workplace deaths continue their rise in recent years, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Vehicle crash costs incurred by businesses from insurance premiums, repairs, lost productivity, and other expenses amounted to $57.9 billion in 2018 as compared to $47.4 billion in 2013, according to a new report.
Nauto's cloud-based telematics platform powered by artificial intelligence learns driver behaviors, and the company notes it will be able to predict and prevent high-risk driving events, helping fleet managers reduce claims by at least 35%.
Commercial drivers of light- to heavy-duty vehicles are involved in just 3% of severe crashes, even though 83% of American drivers say they are safer behind the wheel, according to new data from Verizon Connect.
Fleet managers should know that a small group of people — specifically, high-risk drivers — cause the bulk of their collisions.
Managing high-risk drivers is a key element of an effective fleet safety plan. Here are five steps from Advanced Driving Training Services for reducing collisions from this cohort.
