Drivers Monitoring for Fleet Managers & Onboard Real Time Driver Assistance: All in One

St Germain en Laye, December 11th 2024.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the number of road deaths in the United States is approximately 40,000 per year. Compared to Western Europe, this figure is almost 15 times higher. For instance, if there are around 4.5 million accidents annually and about 3 trillion miles traveled in a year, that would approximate to about 1.5 accidents per million miles. Therefore, this translates to roughly 1,500 accidents per billion miles traveled.

Yet the concept of « pay how you drive » is becoming increasingly popular in the United States as a business practice for insurance companies. The model uses telematics devices that track policyholders’ driving behavior, including speed, hard braking and time spent on the road. It was estimated that approximately 25 million drivers participated in telematics-based insurance programs. On the other hand, companies that offer services to fleets with a safety-oriented tool have also grown, there are dozens of them across the country.

However, accidents are still too numerous and affect both professional and non-professional drivers.

 

If we agree with the statement that almost no one wants to die in a vehicle crash, this means that there is a particular problem in this country that can be explained by several factors.

Among the leading causes of road accidents in the United States are:
Distracted Driving: This is one of the leading causes of accidents, often due to activities such as texting, talking on the phone, or using in-car technologies while driving.
Speeding: Driving over the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
Reckless Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors such as tailgating, frequent lane changes, and road rage can lead to dangerous situations.
Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, ice, and fog can reduce visibility and road traction, increase the likelihood of accidents.
Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Many accidents occur at intersections due to motorists failing to obey traffic signals.
Driver Fatigue: Drowsy driving can be as dangerous as driving under the influence, leading to slower reaction times and impaired decision-making.
