What hardware is needed in the vehicles?

An OBD-II telematics unit (€80–150/vehicle) or integration with an existing fleet GPS system. Advanced driver behaviour analysis (fatigue, distraction) requires a camera with an AI processor in the cab.

How does the system inform drivers about risky behaviour?

Real-time: audible alert in the cab when a threshold is exceeded (hard braking, speeding). Post-trip: the driver receives a trip summary with a score. Weekly fleet manager report.

Does monitoring driver behaviour violate privacy?

The system monitors vehicle telematics parameters (g-forces, speed, GPS), not personal behaviour. It complies with employment law and GDPR — employees must be informed about vehicle monitoring during work.

AI driver behaviour detection: fleet safety without a supervisor in every cab

A single fleet vehicle accident costs on average €8,000–25,000 (repair, downtime, insurance, administration). Proactively improving driver behaviour is the cheaper alternative — and AI makes it scalable across the entire fleet without additional headcount.

What AI monitors

Telematics parameters (from OBD-II unit)

Hard braking — g-force >0.35g (target: <0.25g)
Hard acceleration — g-force >0.30g longitudinal
Sharp cornering — g-force >0.30g lateral
Speeding — exceeding route speed limit by >10 km/h
Night driving — tracking driving hours (fatigue)

Advanced analysis (in-cab camera)

Distraction detection (gaze off road >2 seconds)
Microsleep detection (blinking patterns, head movements)
Phone use identification during driving

Outputs for drivers and management

Trip scoring (Driver Score)

Driver: Peter Novák | Week 18/2026

Overall score: 74/100 ⬇ (previous week: 81)

Hard braking:      12× (target: <5×) ❌
Speeding:           3× (target: <2×) ⚠️
Hard acceleration:  6× (target: <8×) ✅
Night driving:      0× ✅

Recommendation: Practise anticipatory driving — maintain safe following distance
Training module: [Eco-driving and anticipation — 15 min online course]

Fleet report for the manager

Fleet: 24 vehicles | April 2026

Top 3 highest-risk drivers:
  1. Ján Horváth — score 61/100 (hard braking 47×/month)
  2. Miroslava Kováč — score 68/100 (speeding 18×/month)
  3. ...

Fuel saving potential: +8.2 % if scores improve to 80+
Predicted insurance coefficient reduction: -12 % (if incidents <3/year)

ROI: why it pays off

For a fleet of 20 vehicles:

Average insurance claims: 4/year → target: 2.5/year
Saved on insurance claims: 1.5 × €12,000 = €18,000/year
Fuel saving (better driving style –8 %): 20 vehicles × 25,000 km × 8l/100km × €1.50 × 8 % = €4,800/year
Total saving: €22,800/year

Telematics costs (20 units + software): €5,000/year. ROI: 4×.
