About The Study
A study was completed into the impact of the Teletrac Navman telematics platform (TN360) on speeding, aggressive driver actions and emissions. 10 vehicles were fitted with the Teletrac Navman telematics solution, with the management team using the TN360 Safety package, that provides reporting into driver behavior (speeding and aggressive driving), fuel usage and CO2 emissions.
The data was collected for a 7 month period (November 2023 to May 2024) and this report details the impact of the telematics platform on speeding, aggressive driving behavior and fuel consumption over this time period.
Impact on Speeding
Over the study period there was a significant reduction in the number of speeding events per 100 miles. This reduced from 6.52 in November 2023 to 0.59 in May 2024. By using the driver behavior reports the management team could run effective coaching sessions and use data to develop a safe driving culture and achieve a 90% reduction in speeding events.
Impact on Aggressive Driving
Over the study period it was identified that across the 10 vehicles harsh acceleration events were below the peer group expectation, aligning with the reduction in speeding events. It was also identified that harsh braking remained above peer group expectation, representing an opportunity to reduce vehicle wear and tear and ownership cost.
Impact on Idle Duration & Fuel Consumption
Over the pilot timeframe the Idle time (15mins+) as a % of engine hours fell from 12% to 4%. The estimated impact of this 60% reduction across a fleet of 500 vehicles was:
- 5,521 gallon reduction in fuel consumption
- 56,600 KG reduction in CO2 emissions
- $40,308 saving on fuel spend
