ARI Fleet has launched a new Accident Dashboard tool to enable fleets to see when accidents happen and take any corrective action based on past experience of their drivers.

The tool details accident-related data across an entire fleet through charts and graphs.

Currently available to customers in the US and Canada as part of the ARI insights portal, the tool details accident-related data across an entire fleet through charts and graphs. Accidents can be examined by day of the week and time of day, all over a 12-month period, helping fleet managers identify potentially at-risk time periods.

The solution also enables fleets to identify drivers with multiple incidents and the average cost per incident – in total, the dashboard contains 14 metrics to monitor, analyse and take action on accident claim information.

The Accident Dashboard also gives fleet managers the ability to provide a meaningful comparison of accident rates among different divisions by determining the number of claims per million miles driven.

Accident Dashboard also tracks the costs associated with each accident, so users can identify the average and total cost for preventable and non-preventable accidents by division and can plot that information to see the trend over the past five quarters.

“With accident data presented this way, we believe fleet managers are able to understand the trends behind accidents in their fleets and will be able to better determine what actions can be taken to minimise accidents, and what driver safety training needs to be assigned as a result,” said Tony Candeloro, vice president of product development and client information services at ARI Fleet.
