What is a pilot partner?
Are you looking for ways to make your safe driving plan applicable to your driver? MyFleet provides you with a new cost-effective environmental protection solution!
Our latest product, Driver Buddy, ensures that your responsibility chain control measures are implemented in the manual and reflected in the front seats of the vehicle, which improves the safety and mobility of the team, improves your team’s tracking ability, and ensures that the company’s policies are implemented.
The driver BUDDY is a smartphone application that can be easily downloaded to Android or Apple devices. This means that it can be accessed through mobile phones, mobile tablets or industrial displays installed in the vehicle cab.
The “Driver Partner” application interacts with drivers and supervisors on the move to strengthen the key points of safe driving planning for their driving paths. In addition, the driver will update the information to the administrator if he/she drives in an unsafe or unstable way with only a few hours left after completing the shift.
In order to correct bad driving behavior, managers can more easily ensure the overall operation safety through real-time monitoring and two-way communication. The application can help drivers manage their own driving style and conduct the best competition. The two-way communication function allows drivers and administrators to solve problems that may occur on the road.
From compulsory pre travel safety inspection to the safest and most convenient rest station to update information, driver partners are your most reliable guarantee, allowing you to drive in the way you want.
It’s simple, like one, two, three
Step 1
The driver logs in to the Driver Buddy application on the selected device to complete the basic inspection of the vehicle, confirm whether it is suitable for going on the road, whether it is suitable for tax declaration, and whether it is able to perform business according to the standards required by the business rules. The customization checklist consists of customization requirements, which are determined by the specific value of the organization, vehicle type and work classification. The completed inspection constitutes a formal confirmation of whether the driver and vehicle are suitable for work, and can be carried out according to law when necessary. The project ensures that all problems are identified as early as possible to improve the safety of drivers and organizations
Step 2
The driver partner has a set of alarm system, which can be used by the driver if there is a problem on the road. This warning will notify the contact via email or SMS. The system interacts with on-site drivers to remind them of potential hazards, dangerous road sections and changing driving conditions. In addition, driving performance is monitored so that drivers know when they need to rest or change their driving style. The system aims to respond to and solve all problems that drivers may encounter in real time, and improve the efficiency and safety of the team.
Step 3
The driver’s progress, fatigue patterns and dangerous behaviors can be monitored through GPS tracking of the driver partner application. The supervisor can access the tracking data and insert additional forced rest stations. If the driver violates the expected contract due to overspeed, hard braking, idle speed or scheduled rest time, an alarm will be automatically issued. Through this responsibility chain control, the driver can understand the system functions, so he can work comfortably in the system and move safely and efficiently without violating the personal information of employees.
Why is a driver partner the smartest way to implement a safe driving plan?
“Driver Partner” is a more effective way to deploy a safe driving plan than other paper versions for several reasons. Because most people tend to get their phones at any time, creating smart phone applications as chain of responsibility controls is the most reliable way to ensure that they will not be lost or left behind. Driver partners are more difficult to ignore or misplace than standard safe driving programs(usually distributed in printed manuals that are easily ignored).
It is easy to misplace the safety driving plan in hard copy form, and when the driver looks for the manual on the truck, determines the location of the next rest station or checks the danger plan ahead during driving, it is easy to be distracted, which is dangerous in itself. In contrast, the driver bird can be installed on the front glass or installed with GPS audio to indicate, update, warn, and leave the line of sight on the road, stop or pull over to see the plan, without providing information to the driver. It is installed on their mobile phones. Unlike hard copies, this plan has been in hand.
Driver Buddy’s digital format allows updates to be pushed to the device as needed, so it can adapt to changing conditions faster than other chain of responsibility controls. Due to the ability to calculate the factors that occur on the road, if serious braking events and overspeed indicate driver fatigue and driving quality decreases, additional rest stations can be added to the travel plan.
Driver Buddy’s two-way communication function promotes important driver/administrator relationships. The driver partner is undoubtedly the asset of both parties. Because the driver can complete the work safely and efficiently. The administrator can rest assured. If there is a problem, they can contact quickly to reduce the delay.
How can driver friends help drivers manage fatigue?
Driver Buddy’s fatigue management technology is developed to meet your needs. Professional settings can not only ensure regular rest for drivers, but also continuously and accurately update the safest, most appropriate and most convenient rest station, and analyze whether additional rest is needed according to the driving mode of each driver. Australia’s fatigue law stipulates that drivers should rest at specified intervals during the schedule. Even the minimum violation will lead to fines and loss of company credit.
Driver Buddy can identify the time before the next break through continuous user-friendly updates and notifications to help drivers quickly comply with the different driving plans printed. Driver BUDDY will monitor the shift driving time of all drivers and specify the next rest time and place. This certainty is ideal for both drivers and supervisors. Because if the driver exceeds the allowed time, he/she will provide the administrator with an immediate alarm via email or SMS.
In addition to the scheduled rest time, the driver BUDDY also has the unprecedented ability to automatically calculate the additional rest time that may be required according to the driver’s performance during the trip. Provide the driver with real-time technical feedback, highlighting overspeed events or sudden braking events. The same is true for the supervisor. If driving instability or fatigue occurs due to such negligence, the driver should be notified and instructed to take a rest for a period of time.
Due to unavoidable differences in vehicle size and value of goods transported, some rest stations may be more suitable for your vehicle than others. Driver friends also include this! Using all the latest information about rest stations on the route and the inherent requirements of specific vehicles, the system calculates the most suitable stations and transmits these information to drivers in real time when they travel. This will ensure that the team and drivers can rest safely and effectively and comply with the regulations.
How can driver friends ensure that your driver carries out your values on the road?
The real-time feedback system of driver BUDDY will analyze the driver’s behavior and driving behavior in detail, and provide the driver and supervisor with notifications of potential dangerous events such as sudden braking, overspeed, idle speed, etc. The driver display screen displays a real-time alarm that can correct bad driving behavior. If the problem continues, an additional parking warning will be issued to stop the driver at the next safe parking point. Driver BUDDY has a professional ranking system, which can analyze the habits and safety of drivers according to their driving accidents. Drivers who have repeatedly violated the rules and regulations are lower than others, and vice versa. This will help identify drivers who need further training and increase annual fees.
The automated driver results report provided by driver Buddy allows administrators to have an unprecedented understanding of what is happening in the fleet. The report also encourages drivers not to rank lower and better comply with policies to achieve better results, thus contributing to self-improvement in important areas.
How can driver friends prevent accidents?
The application can not only tell the driver the latest information about the next scheduled rest time, but also guide the driver to the most safe and convenient rest station on the route. These recommendations are determined by constantly updating the program analysis information.
In addition to the rest planned in the safe driving plan, APP can also detect fatigue or unstable driving through the following indicators, and inform drivers of the need for additional rest. If the driver exceeds the driving time or misses the scheduled or suggested rest time, please immediately send an email or SMS notification to the driver’s supervisor to inform him of the violation.
The indicators that can reflect the driver’s need for extra rest are usually caused by fatigue and insufficient attention. The driver partner shall analyze the overspeed, idle speed and sudden braking events to confirm the driver’s attention level. Once the above situation occurs, the driver will be notified so that they can correct the poor driving performance. These problems recur, indicating that the driver is not paying attention and needs extra rest.
Driver partners continuously collect the latest information to ensure that all hazards are brought to the driver’s attention as soon as possible. These include traffic jams and alternate routes, sharp corners, black spots, restricted areas and changing weather conditions.
The two-way communication function of the driver partner enables the supervisor to keep in continuous contact with the driver throughout the journey, and can correct instructions, danger warnings, and unstable driving. This enables you to address all issues efficiently and in a timely manner, and to maintain a high level of enterprise strategy.
All data collected by driver partners are summarized into reports on driver behavior and ranked according to their driving behavior. This is to early identify drivers who need further training.
These functions of the Buddy System application ensure that the driver fully understands the potential problems of the surrounding environment and roads. Driver safety and accident risk reduction are two core priorities of vehicle management. MyFleet actively maintains these values and develops the first and only comprehensive safe driving plan to improve driver safety, which greatly simplifies this responsibility for driver partners.
