The start point for the best source of fleet information |
TomTom Telematics is introducing predictive real-time driving advice through its systems to help fleet drivers improve their driving style and efficiency.
The next-generation of TomTom Telematics' Webfleet Optidrive 360 system uses vehicle and map data to advise business drivers when to take their foot off the accelerator or shift gear and what their optimum speed should be.
Thomas Schmidt, TomTom Telematics managing director, said: "OptiDrive 360 marks a ground-breaking development that allows businesses to work more closely with their drivers in a bid to create lasting change to driving standards.
"The innovation has been developed following years of detailed research conducted in cooperation with the EU ecoDriver Project".
Pre-trip, OptiDrive 360 provides motorists with advice on how to drive safely and fuel-efficiently.
Direct feedback and driving advice is offered visually during the trip to actively coach the driver. After the trip a snapshot analysis is available to review the trip statistics. All information is displayed via the driver terminal.
Webfleet then provides fleet managers with dashboards to help highlight trends in driving behaviour.
OptiDrive 360 scores drivers based on a total of eight performance indicators - speeding, driving events, idling, fuel consumption, green speed, coasting (release gas while in gear), gear shifting and constant speed - which can be used as the basis for performance reviews, training and driver benchmarking.
