Connected to vehicles, the solutions of embedded telematics analyze driving behavior remotely to raise awareness among drivers and limit the risk of accidents. The installation of connected cameras reinforces the effectiveness of these systems and paves the way for predictive disaster management.
An alarming observation on the loss of fleets
According to a study by Webfleet Solutions with 1,050 fleet managers in Europe:
- 42% fleets suffer between 1 and 5 collisions per year.
- 90% accidents are caused by human error.
- However, half of managers do not know if their drivers respect driving rules.
- 84% managers recognize the negative impact of bad behavior on their business.
- The most frequent risky behaviors are: telephone while driving (77%), fatigue (75%) and speeding (74%).
Telematics tools for safer driving
Webfleet Solutions offers a platform that informs drivers in real time about traffic flow, weather conditions, etc. The fleet manager tracks incidents (speeding, sudden braking, changes in direction) using the data collected.
The embedded tablet includes the module Optidrive 360 that helps drivers improve their performance through visual and audio advice.
Dash cameras and risk prevention
In partnership with Lytx, Webfleet integrates onboard cameras that provide the manager with accurate images of incidents. Drivers can view these images in real time to respond immediately.
Optimum Automotive offers a similar solution: its cameras analyze the behavior of drivers and detect risky situations (non-wearing a seat belt, telephone use, fatigue). These alerts are accessible via a dedicated platform.
A legal obligation and a driver for improvement
Road risk prevention is a legal obligation for businesses. Telematics solutions make it possible to transform the observation of incidents into a dynamic of improvement, thanks in particular to distance or on-track training, offered by partners such as Rousseau codes.
Impact and return on investment
Installing a dash cam costs between 200 and 250 euros, at no additional cost for data processing. A complete telematics solution is billed between 10 and 15 euros per month depending on the options.
Thanks to these devices, claims can be reduced by 30 to 40% in the first three months and then stabilize around 7 to 8% of annual improvement.
Towards predictive management of road safety
Telematics is evolving with artificial intelligence, towards predictive accident management, beyond simple surveillance. The data collected makes it possible to continuously adjust preventive actions.
Adoption in France and Europe
The 2022 barometer ofArval Mobility Observatory reveals that:
- 40% of French companies own connected vehicles, compared to 33% on average in Europe.
- The main reasons for equipment are Vehicle location And the increased security (36% in France).
- 32% use telematics to improve driver behavior.
- More than a quarter of companies have put in place procedures to monitor excesses (speed, claims, consumption, etc.).
- For 40% of businesses, a road risk prevention plan is already in place.
Technological innovations remain perceived as the most effective tool for limiting road risk.
