Fleet managers know that crashes happen. But being familiar with the different types of crashes, which kind is the most likely to result in injuries or fatalities, and the biggest risk factors for each is an important key in minimizing collisions in your fleet.

Many fleet managers tout safety as the top of their list of priorities. But how is “safety” measured? Ensuring that there are measurable, enforceable policies in place is essential to prioritizing fleet safety.

Telematics refers to the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, allowing information to be transmitted in real-time from remote locations. How does this help fleets? Telematics allows fleet managers to monitor and track vehicles, providing valuable data that can be used to improve efficiency, safety, and overall performance. Depending on the needs of a fleet, the amount of data needed to make managing business operations easier can vary: companies with dedicated fleet data technicians may make use of more specialized data than smaller fleets who want more of a broad scope.

According to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), it “may issue a safety advisory to recommend corrective actions, inspections, conditions, limitations, or other actions to avoid or mitigate any hazards or risks to public transportation riders and employees.”
