Despite their importance in keeping America running, truck drivers are often overlooked by consumers as well as by fellow members of the logistics community. Netradyne hopes to change that by designing innovative driver-first safety solutions.
\n\u201cBeing advocates for drivers is very near and dear to our hearts,\u201d said Ofelia Chernock, senior product marketing manager at Netradyne. \u201cWe know that drivers are the lifeblood of our country and many other countries across the globe.\u201d
\nOne of the primary ways Netradyne advocates for drivers is by giving fleet managers a holistic view of their driving habits, highlighting the praiseworthy, safe choices they make every day.
\nWhen fleets use Netradyne\u2019s Driver\u2022i solution, 100% of the driving time is captured and analyzed, and drivers are assigned a score. This GreenZone Score considers both positive and risky driving behaviors. A scientific approach that leverages large amounts of fleet and driver data in a calculation ensures that drivers with a history of positive decision-making can see that reflected back to them in a tangible way.
\nFleet managers can leverage these scores in coaching sessions and during reviews. They can utilize the scores to fuel safe driving incentive programs or use the data to recognize drivers who consistently do the right thing.
\nThis emphasis on capturing positive driver behaviors sets Netradyne apart from other safety solutions on the market. Most available tools focus solely on tracking and correcting negative driving behaviors to reduce safety risks.
\nWhile Netradyne also analyzes risky behaviors, the company\u2019s Driver\u2022i solution addresses these issues with the driver\u2019s experience in mind. When the solution picks up on potentially dangerous driving behaviors, the drivers receive an in-cab audio alert. This enables drivers to change their driving immediately, preventing additional problems.
\n\u201cWe enable the opportunity to make that change in the moment,\u201d Chernock said. \u201cWe also give them a grace period to correct it before the system creates an alert that would appear in the Netradyne portal.\u201d
\nThis short grace period gives drivers more autonomy over their actions, leading to a stronger sense of ownership and responsibility. When drivers self-coach in the moment, they often eliminate the need for a fleet manager to get involved. This saves everyone time, money and frustration.
\nThis sense of autonomy also goes a long way in helping drivers see camera-based solutions as helpful.
\nDrivers tend to associate negatively with in-cab cameras, and many worry about being \u201cwatched.\u201d When drivers experience Driver\u2022i firsthand, however, most become accustomed to the camera within a couple of weeks. Within a few months, drivers understand the solution\u2019s value, according to feedback collected by Netradyne.
\nTo help calm fears initially, Chernock believes it is essential to help drivers understand that the Driver\u2022i solution is not actively \u201cwatching\u201d them personally, and human staff members are not constantly viewing cameras.
\nAdditionally, Netradyne can provide holistic feedback via metadata even if the driver prefers to use a lens cap or a carrier is operating in an area that requires the in-cab recording function to be disabled altogether.
\nNetradyne believes in improving road safety for drivers, and its solutions are designed to do just that.
