In this article we will explain how you can understand the data in the Speed Summary to help you to identify and reduce speeding.
You can also find a Video explanation here.Speed Summary Report
The Speed Summary Report is populated from alerts set to trigger when the vehicle exceeds the set speed limit for the road by a certain percentage. (Note: alerts are covered in the SynX Move User Manual.)
To open the report, either:
- From within Move, click on Services in the menu header.
- Click on Speed Summary under ‘Driving Style’ in the drop-down menu.
How to understand the Speed Summary
During a journey the Transpoco tracker in a vehicle can update an average every 15-20 seconds. Each update contains the speed and location of the vehicle.
Transpoco has an active database of road speed limits. We check the speed from each update against the speed limit of the road to identify speeding.
Let's use this Speed Summary from our demonstration account.
As we will explain below you can customise the time range and the vehicles included in the report. In this example, we selected the default time period which is the last 30 days and we will view data for all vehicles.
The vehicle with the description 'Nantes' is the worst vehicle for speeding. Around 14% of updates from the tracker in the vehicle from the last 30 days indicated speeding over the road speed limit.
If you use our driver ID system in your vehicles then you will be able to view speeding by driver. Select the Filter by Driver option to view data by driver
