Custom Vehicle Metrics is very powerful because it allows you to determine what key performance indicators to count, measure, score, compare, and calculate. However, if you’re not yet sure how you want to measure fleet performance, it can be overwhelming to know which metrics to start with and what thresholds to use.

The Safety Scorecard is a type of report based on the Sum Scorecard metric, which is designed to lower the potential for fleet-related accidents and improve overall fleet safety. In order for this scorecard to universally apply to any fleet, it relies on your fleet being grouped into two classifications:

Light & Medium Duty – 0 to 26,000 lbs

Heavy Duty – 26,000 lbs or more

The Safety Scorecard then counts the following events for each vehicle group:

THRESHOLD SPEED

A vehicle operating above a safe* speed
Thresholds per vehicle group:
Light & Medium Duty – 80+ mph Heavy Duty – 67+ mph

HARSH BRAKING

A vehicle braking at an unsafe* rate
Thresholds per vehicle group:
Light & Medium Duty – .45+ Gs Heavy Duty – .40+ Gs

POSTED SPEED

A vehicle operating above a safe* speed
Thresholds per vehicle group:
Light & Medium Duty – 10+ mph Heavy Duty – 10+ mph & 15+ mph

RAPID ACCELERATION

A vehicle accelerating at an unsafe* rate
Thresholds per vehicle group:
Light & Medium Duty – .45+ Gs Heavy Duty – .40+ Gs
