Ctrack offers a variety of solutions for driver management

Vehicles are an expensive and important asset in any business, and the way they are used can significantly affect its success. Managing vehicles and drivers is a complex task – solutions such as Ctrack’s driver management suite can eliminate the guesswork of vehicle management and ensure the optimal running of a fleet.

Good drivers contribute to a positive reputation, while drivers who breach road regulations risk not only their own safety but that of others. They also cause additional expense for the business, such as fuel, maintenance and insurance costs.

Ctrack offers a range of solutions to support business through driver performance and management across multiple drivers, groups and vehicles. These solutions include a driver behaviour indicator that detects harsh acceleration, braking and cornering, while driver fatigue is managed with the help of front, rear and in-cab cameras.

Improving the driver behaviour of employees has numerous benefits: more kilometres per litre, lower fuel bills, enhanced driver safety and lower accident rates as well as reduced fleet administration and vehicle maintenance costs.

The role of data

The data harvested from these systems makes it possible to upskill operators and ensure the safety of both workforce and assets. Fleet managers can provide direct operator behaviour feedback to their staff using indicators through Ctrack software applications, visible on mobile devices, as well as vehicle in-cab peripherals or electronic data sets.

Innovative driver management solutions

Ctrack’s driver management solutions allow companies to accurately identify, control and manage their drivers. Integration with peripherals is enabled, such as breathalysers to prevent access to vehicles by intoxicated drivers; while safety issues, such as the failure to wear seatbelts, can also be reported.

Drivers can be identified through various mechanisms such as the Dallas iButton, RF ID Cards, and even virtual driver pins. Driving behaviour monitoring ensures that the correct person is behind the wheel and that the vehicle is being driven in a satisfactory manner with parameters that watch out for speed, harsh braking, irregular stops and many more.

The in-cab driver display unit aids the driver with critical information such as job dispatching, navigation and messaging, allowing the driver to focus on the task at hand, which is driving the vehicle safely while having access to all the information needed to do the job efficiently.

Various camera options allow live video and replays of incidents on the road that could support and reduce insurance claims, including supporting possible litigation against the company and the driver involved in such cases.

Engine performance monitoring ensures that the vehicle is driven efficiently by keeping an eye on engine speed and will also alert fleet managers to excessive idling.

The Driver Mobi application allows drivers to view their driver behaviour scores as well as complete their logbook by marking journeys as business or private, and also conduct vehicle checks before start-ups, via their smartphone.

Ctrack has industry solutions to track a variety of assets including cars, trucks, trailers, containers, generators, packages and confidential deliveries, making it a one-stop shop for all fleet management needs.
