Fleet managers are buried in data. You get endless pings for speeding, harsh braking, and cornering, but what do you do with it all? How do you know if a driver is genuinely high-risk or just had one bad day? When you can’t see the big picture, it’s impossible to know where to focus your coaching efforts, or if your safety program is even working.
You don’t need more alerts. You need clarity.
What It Is
Safety Score is a configurable scoring system in Raven’s web app that quantifies various driving behaviors into a single, easy-to-understand score out of 100. Designed to help fleet managers evaluate and improve driver performance, the system allows you to choose, if you wish, which events to include, assign custom weights to each, and define the time period and drivers to monitor to create a system that works for your unique operations. The result is a simple, actionable metric that transforms your safety management.
How to Use It
Pain Point: “I don’t know which drivers need coaching.”
Solution: Identify At-Risk Drivers Instantly
Stop guessing and start prioritizing. The Safety Score dashboard gives you an immediate overview of your entire group’s performance, as well as individual driver scores. Each driver is grouped into one of four clear risk levels: Low Risk (90-100), Mild Risk (75-89), Medium Risk (60-74), or High Risk (Below 60). This allows you to instantly identify who needs proactive coaching and use the timeline view to see if interventions are driving meaningful improvement and determine which behaviors (like speeding or harsh braking) are impacting their score.
Pain Point: “My drivers say my reviews are unfair and lack context.”
Solution: Create Fair, Accurate, and Context-Aware Standards
Remove “gut feel” and subjectivity from your performance reviews. The true fairness of the Safety Score comes from its direct connection to our Event Review feature.
We all know that not every alert represents poor driving. What about a harsh braking alert caused by a child chasing a ball into the street? That’s good, defensive driving, not a “mistake.”
The Event Review system allows managers to review individual events before they are counted. You can easily dismiss events you determine to be false positives or justified driver actions. This ensures that only relevant, coachable behaviors actually contribute to the score, making the final number a fair, accurate, and context-aware reflection of true driver performance.
Pain Point: “It’s hard to keep drivers engaged in safety.”
Solution: Gamify Performance and Reward Top Drivers
A positive safety culture isn’t just about correcting bad behavior; it’s about rewarding good behavior. The Safety Score is the perfect tool to “gamify” safety and drive engagement. Many organizations use the scores to run friendly competitions, rewarding the drivers with the highest “Low Risk” scores. This positive reinforcement encourages safe driving practices and makes safety awareness an ongoing, engaging part of your culture.
Pain Point: “I can’t tell if my safety program is working.”
Solution: Visualize and Prove Your Program’s ROI
How do you prove to management that your coaching and safety initiatives are paying off? Monitoring over time periods provide a clear, simple visualization of your fleet’s performance. You can track improvement or decline across your selected period, allowing you to monitor improvements over time and demonstrate a tangible return on investment for your safety program.
How It Works
- Review (Optional but Recommended): Before loading the score, you can use the Event Review system to check and dismiss any false positives or justified events.
- Configure: Choose your preferred settings, including which event types to score, their weighting, the drivers to include, and the date range.
- Analyze & Adjust: Select Load Score. The dashboard will load with your group and individual scores. You can click on any blue headline to drill down and filter for more specific insights. To change your settings at any time, simply select Options in the top-right corner.
