Earning DriverStars with Driver Streaks
gamifies positive driving behavior keeping commercial drivers,
non-commercial drivers, pedestrians, and more safer on the
roads
Netradyne, an industry-leading SaaS provider of artificial
intelligence (AI), edge computing, and full-service telematics
provider focused on safety and driver coaching for commercial
fleets, today announced the expanded rollout of new patented
DriverStars called Driver Streaks and Driver Dispute to seamlessly
enhance and habitualize safe driving skills by focusing on positive
reinforcement.
Netradyne has expanded its innovative patented DriverStars and
Driver Streaks to reinforce safe driving behaviors. Once a positive
(durational) 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,
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.
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. With the turnover rate of long-haul truckers averaging
a whopping 94%, empowering drivers with this capability can aid
with job satisfaction and retention. 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 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,”
says Adam Kahn, president at Netradyne. “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, their 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.”
"The biggest thing I’ve noticed is the reduction in phone calls
and issues since implementing the Driver•i system,” said Skip Wood,
EVP at Sharp Transit, “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."
