Driver training specialist eDriving has launched a new smartphone telematics solution for fleet drivers that also debuts a new safe driving scoring system.

Mentor assesses and scores a driver’s behaviour using a new predictive analytics platform.

Dubbed Mentor, the new smartphone telematics solution measures and scores driving behavior and delivers tailored driver training straight to smartphones, tablets and computers.

The new solution Mentor assesses and scores a driver’s behaviour using a new predictive analytics platform developed by eDriving and predictive analytics specialist FICO to generate a FICO Safe Driving Score. The score is calculated after each trip and over time, providing both immediate feedback as well as longer-term trending and the use of the FICO Safe Driving Score is intended to provide an industry benchmark similar to the FICO score used for consumer credit risk.

The Mentor tool can also be supported by additional feedback, tips and support via virtual live coaching from the licensed instructors at eDriving’s Behind the Wheel Training Division.

Available in the US, the new Mentor solution is also scheduled for global rollout this autumn.
