How to configure your Safety Score

Audience	Drivers, Fleet Admins
Applies To	Driver App > Safety

 

Introduction

Motive automatically calculates a Safety Score for each Driver based on predetermined defaults of dual-facing Dashcam default and road-facing AI camera default. However, you can customize the Safety Score to road-facing camera defaults under the Safety Settings.

The Safety Score is made up of three main components:

1. Behavior weights determine the impact each behavior has on the Safety Score.
2. Behavior threshold definitions determine when an event is generated and thus considered in the Safety Score.
3. Performance Range definitions determine which range of scores are defined as Fair/Good/Excellent.

A change to any of these three components impacts the Safety Score calculation.

 

Safety Score default weights 

The Safety Score is calculated based on weights assigned to specific behaviors. There are two defaults; dual-facing AI camera default and road-facing AI camera default. The weightage of the score assigned for both is explained by the tables below. The weights are designed to make the Safety Score a reliable indicator of a Driver's risk of being involved in a collision.

Dual-facing AI camera default

Behavior	Default Weight
Hard acceleration	1
Hard brake	4
Hard corner	2
Speeding	6
Close Following / Tailgating	9
Stop sign violation	7
Cell phone	10
Distraction	5
Seat belt violation	6

Road-facing AI camera default

Behavior	Default Weight
Hard acceleration	1
Hard brake	6
Hard corner	5
Speeding	11
Close Following / Tailgating	15
Stop sign violation	12

 

Note: All non-beta AI Behaviors are available in the Safety Score Settings. There will be no available defaults for fleets with no cameras and smart dash cameras without AI capabilities. In these instances, the Safety Score should be customized to include only behaviors supported by the hardware.

Configuring behavior threshold definitions

• Adjustments to behavior threshold definitions change the volume of events generated and considered in the Safety Score. 
• Tighter or more strict definitions result in fewer events generated. 
• Follow the steps here to adjust behavior threshold definitions

Note: Changes made to behavior threshold definitions impact future event generation and scores, there is no impact to historical events or scores.

 

Steps: Configuring behavior threshold definitions

• Follow the steps here to adjust behavior threshold definitions.

Configuring behavior weights

• Adjustments to behavior weights will change the impact a behavior has on the Safety Score
• Higher weighted behaviors have more impact on the Safety Score
• Changes to behavior weights affect the following Monday
• Follow the steps here to adjust behavior weights on the Safety Score

 

Steps: Configuring behavior weights

1. Log in to the Motive Fleet Dashboard and click the Admin icon in the left bottom corner.

2. Click the Products dropdown and select Safety from the dropdown menu.

3. Click the arrow in the top right of the Safety Score section.

4. This page displays the current weighting of the safety score, click Edit to make changes.

5. To change the weights of a behavior, you can use one or multiple of the methods explained below. As you change the value, the guide bar at the top adjusts accordingly.

a. Utilize the quick action buttons

• Dual-facing camera default are the default values for fleets with dual-facing AI Dashcams.

• Road-facing camera default adjusts the weights for fleets with road-facing AI Dashcams.

• Revert resets the values to where they were when the page first loaded.

Note: There is no default Safety Score setting for fleets with Smart Dashcams or without Dashcams.

b. Utilize the blue sliders below each behavior.

c. Utilize the  -/+ buttons for smaller adjustments.

d. Change the values in the text box.

6. Once you have 0 points left to allocate, click Save in the top right corner. Changes made go into effect the following Monday and impact future and historical scores (up to 1 year back).

7. Use the Version History to review any changes to behavior weights. 

• To revert weights to a previous state, click the menu in the top right and Revert to this state.

Configuring Performance Range Definitions

• Adjustments to the Performance Range definitions will change how a score is defined in the Fleet Dashboard and Driver app
• Changes affect the following Monday
• Follow the steps outlined here to adjust Performance Range definitions

 

Steps: Configuring Performance Range definitions

1. Log into the Motive Fleet Dashboard and click the Admin icon in the left bottom corner.

2. Select Safety on the left-hand side menu.

3. Click the arrow in the top right of the Performance Ranges section.

4. This page lets you know the current definition of the performance ranges, to make changes, click Edit.

5. You can use one of the methods explained below to change the performance range definition. As you change the value, the guide bar up top will adjust accordingly.

1. 1. Utilize the quick action buttons
      • Set to Motive default resets to the Motive default values.

• • • • Split equally divides the performance ranges as per below:
        • Fair = 50 - 66
        • Good = 67 - 83
        • Excellent = 84 - 100

• • • • Reset resets the values to where they were when the page first loaded.

2. Move the vertical sliders (located between the performance ranges) left or right.

6. Once you have finished making changes, click Save in the top right corner. Changes made will go into effect the following Monday and impact future and historical scores (up to 1 year back).

7. Use the Version History to review any previous changes made to Performance Range definitions. 

• To revert Performance Range definitions, click the menu in the top right and Revert to this state.
