Spotlight on Speed: How to Reduce Speeding Incidents & Enhance Your Fleet’s Safety
July 21, 2021
Modified on March 19, 2024
In their announcement for the 2021 Operation Safe Driver week, the CVSA reported last year saw an uptick in the number of traffic fatalities with an increase of 24% compared to the previous year despite the number of miles driven dropping by 13%. And driver-related behavior is now responsible for roughly 87% of all fatalities on the road, so to continue that downward trend, technology designed to help correct and improve driver behavior will need to continue to evolve.
And thankfully, it is.
Mark Savage, former CVSA President and Director of Connected Truck Solutions at Drivewyze Inc., alongside Melody Rasko, Product Manager at Drivewyze Inc., dive deep into:
- The rise of speeding events across the nation and the impact of citations,
- The agency perspective on how carriers can keep their drivers safe and in-service,
- How new in-cab technologies give fleets the power to prevent incidents before they happen,
- Pilot project data demonstrating how these in-cab alerts have proven to reduce speeding incidents by 27%, and more!
