– Implementing the solution and lessons learned
• DriveCam first introduced in-cab video technology in 1998
• Solution has continuously evolved • Currently deployed on more than 500 fleets and
protecting 400,000 drivers • Largest deployments include distribution, transit, waste,
service fleets, utilities • Perdue Farms first piloted program in late 2006
Background
Solution Overview
Event Review Criteria
Key Safety Benefits
Identify & correct poor driving before it leads to a crash
Identify your best drivers based on facts instead of luck
Protect company & drivers against false claims
Measure driving improvements through leading indicators
Challenges
• Sr. Management approval • Management buy-in • Union buy-in • Driver acceptance • Implementing fleet-wide over broad
geographies and diverse business operations
Identify Best Drivers

Implementation ‘Gold Nuggets’
• Know what your risk exposure is • Build the business case • Seek an internal Champion/Business Partner • Source the service providers who want to be business
partners • Develop rollout plan that best meets your companies
culture • Build a measurement tool to ensure accountability • Finally, recognize success frequently and consistently
Vehicle Based Behavioral Safety
Vehicle Mounted Video Event Recorder
Tommy Pollard CDS, CDT
Startup Driver acceptance is critical. Management engagement / ownership is critical (Cross-functional Team)
Managers and Drivers will understand if you; Show why Get on the ground and meet with the drivers Show it is current with today’s technologies Show that upper management is committed to the process Show that it is part of your overall strategy Show it will build accountability from management to driver Explain how it works When you see behavior
How you react will determine how your drivers react Show that the process adds value
Pilot Results, Scored Events Trend Coaching & Intervention will influence driver improvement.
Rollout Aug 20th Active intervention with coaching Feb. 08
37 Cameras, about 50 Drivers
Coaching / Consequences, change behavior.
Management workload decreases as behaviors change. Accident case management time decreases drastically.
Building Driver Acceptance Communicate reason for intervention with drivers
Safety of drivers and motoring public Frequency of vehicle accidents rising or out of control Cost arising from vehicle accidents Cost of litigation / protection from frivolous litigation Shock loss from a vehicle accident
Demand for action by insurance carrier to develop driver improvement process (Note; Utility Company Example)
Hold driver meetings Get on the ground and talk it up:
Use formalized meetings to demonstrate reasoning Explain how the technology works Deploy the process & frequently share results
Use informal / tailgate meetings to Share video clips Talk it up with drivers
Informing Drivers as to Why Highway Preventable
Total cases = 50 Total Minimum Value = $634,908.18
Roll-over & Run Off Road
Action: Included Vehicle & Driver Attributes. •Use of Drive Cam to Manage Driver Behavior & Risky Actions (Inattention)
•Vehicle Speed Settings and Automatic Retardation •Use of Drop-deck Trailers ,(reduce the Center of Gravity)
* LDWS, Lane Departure Warning Systems * Crash Avoidance Systems, (Vorad, “Wing Man”)
- VORAD, Vehicle On Board Radar detection System
- Safety Vision, using radar, GPS & video - BSWS, Blind Side Warning Systems
* OER, Onboard Event recorders (data only), speed, quick stop, etc.
* GPS, QUALCOMM, Network Car, etc. * ELD’s Electronic logging devices * EVIR, Electronic vehicle inspection systems * Speed Limiters, Governing vehicle speed * Proximity Controls, Cruise, Radio, Air Horn, Etc.
Show it’s current with today’s technologies What types of technology do you already use?
Company goals include
Protect the company and drivers in the event of a MVA Reduce collisions Encourage safe driving habits Reduce driving related repair and maintenance costs Demonstrate our commitment to vehicle safety
Set Goals & Expectations
Set Goals & Expectations Driver Goals
Drivers should attempt to drive so the camera is not triggered.
Change the behaviors that you are coached on. Do not repeat behaviors for 60 days after coaching.
Most Common “Risky Behaviors ” include: Seatbelt violations, improper use of cell phone Distracting activity, work tasks, mapping / navigation, reaching / Looking, lighting cigarette, eating / drinking Following to close, at a distance less than 4 seconds Failing to respond, to changing traffic conditions / situations
Dispelling Rumors It is not an invasion of privacy. The goal is to improve driver safety. The company does have the right legal right to monitor driving in a company vehicle.
(Use privacy curtains for sleeper births.) Managers cannot toggle in and watch you in real time. The placement of the camera is not intrusive into the field of vision of the driver. It has been accepted by the FMCSA by granting an exception under 393.60(e). The intent is not to discipline drivers rather, improve driving behavior. (Driver Improvement not Discipline and continuous improvement are the goals.)
Use a (PIP) “Performance Improvement Strategy” Respect and enforce current policies, (seatbelt / cell phone, etc.)
Coaching versus Discipline (“Driver Improvement Process”)
Add value by training managers so they deliver coaching that refers to defensive driving. Use the PIP (Performance Improvement Process) to improve driver behavior. Remedial training, using Defensive Driving strategies
Observation rides with driver trainers
Focus behavioral management on “Repeated Behaviors”
Make sure “Management Accountability” is built into the process. Overdue for Coaching
(Timeliness of coaching really counts)
Coaching Effectiveness (There are two failures, the driver doesn’t try or the coach doesn’t effectively coach…)
Overdue for Download (Making sure that the equipment remains working)
Adding Value to your “Case Management Process”
Eliminate the guess work. Previously: We spent over 80% of our energy reaching agreement on what happened,
and less than 20% on preventing re-occurrence. Now; we see what happened very quickly, we get closure very quickly
and spend most all of our time on preventing re-occurrence.
Managed Services (DriveCam): Provide a professional analysis of the video clip. This means that
managers don’t have to and stay focused on coaching the event.
Create a level platform: By paralleling the “Truck Camera ” process with Defensive Driving
education, we eliminate the barrier between the Transportation Supervisor and driver.
Coaching, using defensive driving strategies
Coaches and drivers now use the common language of DDC.

Video Review There are two foundations upon which the systematic crash program rest:
•Crashes arise from specific causes •These causes can be identified and eliminated

Next Steps Develop coaches book / reference guide Coaches Use “Defensive Driving” talking points
Develop Non-Smoking Policy (Short Haul Division)
Step up cell phone consequences
Develop distracted driving consequences
Consequences for failing to respond to safety alerts / etc.
Continue to issue policy violations from Corporate Safety
Begin to re-culture how we look and act regarding data, Day to Day vs. Period End / Closing With video you get a sense of what is going on now, (“Gut Feel”) Period closing, we tend to classify, group, consolidate…
Develop Non–commercial implementation plan
