TES 2000 – Telematics
Mick introduced dash cams and telematics to all vehicles. The solutions, Vision Track and Driive with Reflex, are provided by the vehicle suppliers. He set up exception reports so that all risky incidents would come straight to him as an email alert. He then rings drivers as soon as they are off duty to discuss the incident. Usually this is a short conversation and, for 90% of drivers, that quick chat ensures it never happens again. Initially these alerts numbered 600 a day – equivalent to four per vehicle. Telematics and other safety interventions have reduced this to just 15 a day. Telematics has also facilitated the enforcement of rules, such as the ban on personal use. The most common incidents now reported are harsh braking, caused by approaching traffic lights or roundabouts at inappropriate speed.
