How fleet owners can make their fleet safe?

The majority of traffic accidents are caused by unsafe driving, which are not only expensive in terms of repairing cars and other equipment, paying insurance premiums, receiving penalties, causing property damage, but most importantly, endangering the well-being and safety of both drivers and pedestrians. Over 65% of accidents occur because of vehicle’s over speeding, drivers violating traffic signals, or atrocious vehicle maintenance. According to research, 81% of the mortality rate in hospitals is due to road traffic accidents, while traffic accident victims occupy 20% of their beds. Besides this, statistics also indicate 79.2% of patients admitted to hospitals with spinal injuries have sustained injuries due to a motor vehicle accident.

Advanced telematics

Fleet managers should invest in a fleet management software system that can store all accident data in a single secure place. Eagle-I accident reconstruction data helps you in understanding the accident in a broader perspective. It provides you with the scientific pattern of events with access to the previous history of the specific vehicle or driver. This tool can prove to be of significant importance for fleet managers and administrators in analyzing the causes of accidents, how it happened, and who was guilty.

In accident reconstruction report Eagle-I offers you two types of information

· Information about what happened

· Information about the driver

Video telematics : With a technology to integrate cameras and analytics with fleet tracking, video telematics can be used as a tool to identify and modify risky driving behavior and serves a timely video evidence of critical incidents. The AI-camera works on ADAS and DMS algorithms which serve as a virtual coach to avoid accidents and assist drivers in gradually improving their performance on the road by providing real-time, actionable alerts.

To ensure safe driving culture and achieve your fleet safety goals, Eagle-I provides the facility to save video clips triggered by key events to the cloud for driver coaching, later review or evidentiary support. Data can be easily accessed and analysed through Eage-I dashboard.

Preventive maintenance

Understanding the Key Components of a Fleet Lifecycle Plan

Fleet managers are now being obliged to keep vehicles for considerably longer than usual. Companies, regardless of fleet size or kind, have a perception that full vehicle replacement or fleet extension is not always crucial and to get the most out of your fleet vehicles, regardless of petrol prices, economic situations, or the state of your company; fleet managers should have a strategy to extend the active lifespan of fleet vehicles and to prevent avoidable downtime.

Besides this, additional costs such as unanticipated downtime during extensive repairs should also be considered.

While formulating a vehicle lifecycle strategy, depreciation cost is an important factor that cannot be overlooked. According to an estimate, 60% of the acquisition cost might be lost in the first year alone due to depreciation, while the rate lowers over time. Besides this, other factors such as interests, taxes, and insurance premiums are also directly correlated with the depreciation value of an asset which also reduces when the value of vehicles diminishes.

Eagle-IoT is a cloud-based vehicle tracking and fleet management system known for robust preventive maintenance and scheduling tools that use inputs based on a vehicle’s daily average usage to compile a report about the utilization of assets. Eagle-IoT supports fleet owners and management companies in maximizing the lifespan of their fleet vehicles by addressing diverse areas of fleet such as tracking, video telematics, route planning, and maintenance providing them detailed insights and transparency where it matters the most.

Are you overloaded with Fleet Data Telematics?

Do you have the desire to stay on top of what data is reported but you don’t have the time to sit in front of a computer all day?

Fleet managers commonly indicate that they want to utilize all the fleet data while looking for a third-party aftermarket telematics, without realizing how much data their fleet will create. They are probably going to drown in it, sorting through it all seeking for the one or two items they are truly interested in.

Scalability is paramount to Eagle-I for reducing intricacy. There is no excuse for not capitalizing on technology that manages every last asset a company has.

Eagle-I ensures small fleet own leverage the telematics capabilities and manage technology costs paying only for services they use by offering a scalable system to filter in and filter out data, to keep things concise without losing their data and computing capabilitiesers.

You might be affected by what you don’t comprehend. Whether a company delays telematics adoption in spite of the need for it or another company has one but isn’t utilizing it to its full potential, both are losing out on crucial insights and contributing to Cost of Ignoring along with the corresponding productivity, safety, and financial benefits.

To boost the capabilities of telematics, fleet managers should consider present priorities and a critical task to complete and set actionable parameters over the course of a set period of time, and then focus on it and take action when presented with identifiable data
