Teletrac has released the Fleet Director 8.2 fleet management telematics system. Fleet Director 8.2 gives flexible new at-a-glance dashboards and safety scorecards to help monitor driving behavior and safety performance for individual drivers, user-defined groups of vehicles, and the fleet as a whole. Critical safety indicators include speeding miles, severe speeding miles, harsh braking events, harsh acceleration events, and bad cornering events. Fleet Director 8.2 also includes a new “Community” area, giving users access to online news, advice, support, and forums that can help them gain full value from Fleet Director and the underlying information captured by Teletrac.
New dashboards let Fleet Director 8.2 users view safety performance analytics based on information generated by Teletrac from a variety of real-time vehicle monitoring and driving behavior data streams. Users can view safety analytics for an entire fleet, a subfleet, or any group of vehicles the user selects—even by clicking individual vehicles to form a group. Alternatively, users can view safety analytics for any single selected vehicle.
Dashboards each feature a dial-type graphics display that gives users a dynamic real-time “safety score” overview. Users can also view total miles analyzed, worst vehicle, best vehicle, and other information. Dashboards display each key performance indicator, showing its own individual score, enabling managers to quickly identify hotspots needing improvement. Users can customize these dashboards; for instance, displaying only indicators of greatest importance to them and rearranging these indicators on the screen. Users can save any number of these customized dashboards to keep a closer eye on selected drivers having sub-par safety scores, or track metrics on vehicles breaking down more often than usual.
To give additional context, Fleet Director 8.2 analytics compare a fleet’s risk scores with a reference set of GPS data collected from a statistical sample of thousands of US vehicles.
A new “Community” tab in Fleet Director 8.2 gives users ready access to a range of news, knowledge, and experience drawn from Teletrac experts and the 10,000-fleet Teletrac user community. Users can browse online news and quickly locate advice, support, and forums.
