Driving Summary Report

The Driving Summary Report displays a graph and statistics to analyse how each vehicle is being driven. It includes measurements of events; speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration and harsh cornering.

Before we discuss the Driving Summary report let's start by explaining how we identify speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration and harsh cornering.

Rapid Acceleration

Events are set to trigger if the next event is an increase of 21.6km/h in 1 second.

Harsh Braking

Events are set to trigger if the next event is a decrease of 21.6km/h in 1 second.

Harsh Cornering

Events are set to trigger if the next event is an increase of 21.6km/h in 1 second and a change of direction.

Speeding

Each location update from a tracker includes the speed of the vehicle. We check the speed against the speed limit of the road (Transpoco has a database of road speed limits). If the speed indicated by the tracker exceeds the road speed limit we treat this as speeding.

  • Where to find the Driving Summary Report

    -Click the Services menu in the menu header.
    -Click on Driving Summary under ‘Driving Style’ in the drop-down menu.

Or 

  • From within the Driving Module, click on Driving Summary in the Driving Style menu on the left-hand side.

 

  • How to read the Driving Summary Report

The tracker in a vehicle will provide a location update on average every 10-15 seconds. Each update provides a packet of information including the speed and location.

If a vehicle brakes harshly, corners harshly or accelerates rapidly this will also trigger an update from the tracker.
The Driving Summary will combine the percentage of speeding events and the unique events detected for rapid acceleration, harsh cornering and Harsh Braking.

The chart will display the data starting from worst to best and you can change the time period. To understand the data we recommend you look at the table below the chart which displays the value for each event.

For example, on the chart below TE125 has recorded a score of around 80. During this time period we only detected events for rapid acceleration and harsh cornering.

The table below the chart shows that we detected 23.88 rapid acceleration events per 100 miles/milometres and 54.28 harsh cornering events per 100 miles/milometres.
