Explore the New Geotab Safety Overview Page in MyGeotab

Understanding fleet safety can require managers to review multiple reports, compare performance data, and identify which drivers need additional coaching. Geotab’s new Safety Overview page simplifies this process by bringing important safety information into one centralized MyGeotab dashboard.

The new page gives fleet and safety managers a clearer way to monitor performance, recognize emerging risks, and investigate the drivers or assets contributing to safety concerns.

View Fleet Safety Information in One Place

The Safety Overview page provides a high-level view of fleet safety performance. Users can switch between Drivers and Assets, select fleet groups, and adjust the reporting period to review the most relevant information.

Urgent action items are displayed near the top of the page, helping managers quickly identify concerns that may require attention. Users can also access the supporting data directly from the dashboard instead of searching through several separate reports.

Monitor a Daily Fleet Safety Metric

A key feature of the dashboard is the Safety Metric, which rates fleet safety performance on a scale from 0 to 100. The score is recalculated daily to provide an updated view of the fleet’s risk level.

Managers can monitor how the score changes over time and evaluate whether coaching, policies, or other safety initiatives are improving performance. They can then examine the specific behaviors, drivers, or assets affecting the overall result.

Benchmark Safety Performance Against Similar Fleets

The Safety Overview page provides industry benchmarking to add context to a fleet’s safety score. Geotab compares the fleet with similar operations based on factors such as region, asset type, and the type of work being performed.

A percentile ranking shows how the fleet performs compared with its peers. This can help managers establish more practical goals and better understand whether their safety results are above or below those of comparable fleets.

Find High-Risk Drivers and Assets

The dashboard ranks drivers and assets based on their calculated risk. Managers can review lists of high-risk performers and top performers to determine where coaching may be needed and recognize individuals demonstrating safer driving habits.

Selecting a driver or asset provides more detailed performance information. This allows managers to review the events and behaviors contributing to the ranking before deciding what action to take.

Examine the Behaviors Affecting Fleet Risk

Depending on the fleet’s configuration and available data, the Safety Overview page may report behaviors and events such as:

• Speeding
• Harsh braking
• Harsh acceleration
• Harsh cornering
• Tailgating
• Collision risk
• Detected collisions

These measurements allow safety teams to look beyond the overall score and identify specific areas for improvement. For example, one fleet group may have a recurring speeding concern even when the organization’s overall safety score appears acceptable.

Fleets using compatible camera systems may also be able to review video connected to high-risk events, providing greater context for investigations and driver coaching.

Compare Safety Across Fleet Groups

Users can filter the dashboard by group to evaluate different locations, departments, vehicle categories, or operating teams. Access permissions can also be configured so managers only see the drivers and assets within their area of responsibility.

This helps larger organizations apply a consistent safety strategy while giving individual supervisors access to the information relevant to their teams.

Turn Fleet Data Into Focused Safety Actions

By combining safety metrics, industry benchmarking, behavioral data, and driver and asset rankings, the Safety Overview page can reduce the time required to interpret fleet safety information.

Instead of manually comparing several reports, managers can begin with the most important concerns and focus their efforts on targeted coaching, risk reduction, and ongoing performance improvement.

Accessing Safety Overview in MyGeotab

According to Geotab, the Safety Overview page does not require additional setup. Authorized MyGeotab users can navigate to Safety > Overview, choose the appropriate drivers, assets, or groups, and select a reporting period.

Geotab currently identifies Safety Overview as a global Beta feature. Its design and functionality may continue to change as Geotab further develops the page.
