      Driver Scorecard Report

      The Driver Scorecard Report is available under the Fleet Reports section for organisations with the “Driver” functionality enabled.

      The driver score is calculated as follows:

      • Each driver starts with a score of 100
      • Speeding is deducted based on the percentage of time speeding while in motion. Example: 5% speeding deducts 5 points from the speeding score.
      • Harsh acceleration is deducted based on the total number of events. Example: 3 harsh acceleration events deducts 3 points from the acceleration score.
      • Harsh Braking and Harsh Cornering are deducted for the number of restricted events per 100 kilometres/miles (see conversion example below).
        • KM or Miles is dependent on the user's unit settings
      • Each category has a maximum deduction, as detailed below (e.g. the maximum number of points a driver can lose for harsh acceleration is 15 points). The maximum possible score a driver can achieve, is 100.

       

      Event Unit of measurement Maximum Deduction
      Harsh acceleration Total number of events 15
      Harsh braking Number of events per 100 km/miles 25
      Harsh cornering Number of events per 100 km/miles 30
      Speeding Amount of time spent speeding as a percentage of the time in motion (drive time minus idle time) 30
      100    

       

      How are Event Scores Calculated?

      Though the below applies to Harsh Cornering and Harsh Braking, the example used here is for Harsh Cornering.

       

      STEP 1

      The number of Harsh Cornering Events per 100 units (km/miles) is converted to a percentage and saved as HarshCorneringEventsPer100DistanceUnits, i.e.

      1 HarshCorneringEvents = 50
      2 TripsTotalDistance = 1000
      3 HarshCorneringEventsPer100DistanceUnits = (HarshCorneringEvents*100) / TripsTotalDistance
      R HarshCorneringEventsPer100DistanceUnits==5

       

      STEP 2

      The value of HarshCorneringWeightedEventsPer100DistanceUnits is now weighted by being subtracted from the corresponding weight, as listed above.

      1 HarshCorneringEventsPer100DistanceUnits==5
      2 HarshCorneringWeight = 30
      3 HarshCorneringWeightedValue = Harsh_Cornering_Weight - HarshCorneringEventsPer100DistanceUnits
      R HarshCorneringWeightedValue==25

       

      STEP 3

      The Driver Score is calculated by summing the weighted values of each of the variables.

      1 HarshAccelerationWeightedValue=14
      2 HarshBrakingWeightedValue=20
      3 HarshCorneringWeightedValue=25
      4 SpeedingWeightedValue=30
      5 DriverScore = HarshAccelerationWeightedValue + HarshBrakingWeightedValue + HarshCorneringWeighhtedValue+SpeedingWeightedValue
      R DriverScore==89

       

      Please note the following criteria for the Driver Scoring Report to be accessible and to return meaningful data:

      • The user’s organisation must have the “Driver” functionality enabled;
      • Drivers must be captured against trips – either manually, via a fixed driver per asset, or using driver ID tags;
      • The asset being used must be set to capture speeding, harsh events and excessive idling

       

      Comparative Driver Scoring

      The Comparative Driver Scorecard includes a Comparative period, letting you choose a predefined interval of either weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly for side-by-side analysis. Two columns, Previous Driver Score and Previous Trip Count, display each driver’s metrics from the selected period, and a Driver Score Change column calculates the difference relative to the current period. This enhancement empowers fleet managers to spot performance trends at a glance and act swiftly.

       

       

      Need Custom Allowances?

      We’ve merged the two reports above into a single, comprehensive ‘Driver Scorecard – Custom Allowances’ report, combining the capabilities of:
       

      • Standard Driver Scorecard Report: for core driver performance metrics.
         
      • Comparative Driver Scorecard Report: including additional columns for previous and current period comparisons.
         
      • Driver Scorecard Custom Weighting Report: supporting the creation and use of scoring profiles with custom weightings.
         

      Take full control over driver scoring utilising the ‘Driver Scorecard – Custom Allowances’ report. This provides a unified view of driver performance, with options for Local Speed Bands, custom scoring profiles, and period comparisons, making it easier than ever to analyse, compare, and improve driver behaviour in one powerful report. 

      The Driver Scoring Profiles modal under Organisation Management lets you control exactly how each driving performance event type influences driver scores, by assigning a weight or allowance to each event type. Note, the Driver Scoring Profiles modal preloads the current default weights which are used in the standard Driver Scorecard report.
