A new driver training and risk reduction solution for fleets of all sizes is to launch globally this year.

The RoadRisk Plus tool can identify drivers’ risk level and provide recommended training.

Developed by eDriving Fleet, the RoadRisk Plus tool combines a validated and research-based risk identification assessment with real-world video scenarios to test drivers’ ability to spot hazards in time, and provides recommended training content based on drivers’ risk areas.

The tool identifies an individual’s risk level by assessing multiple variables including attitudes, knowledge of defensive driving principles, behavioural attributes, travel patterns, vehicle use and personal profile.

Drivers are then classed as either low, medium or high risk and presented with bespoke training from among 12 RiskCOACH courses, which are available in 45 languages with country-, region-, language- and culture-specific content.

Ed Dubens, head of eDriving FLEET, said: “With RoadRISK Plus we’ve taken another big step toward meeting the demand for proven tools with tremendous risk management ROI whether you have a fleet of five, fifty, five hundred or five thousand vehicles.”

The tool has already launched in the US and is being launched globally late 2017.
