What is DRIVE Risk Score?

Introduction

The DRIVE Score evaluates Driver’s safety performance to provide an accurate measure of driver risk. This helps Fleet Managers determine whom to coach and what driving behaviors to focus on.

 

DRIVE Risk Score Overview

• The DRIVE Score includes unsafe driving behaviors captured by the Dashcam as well as speeding and harsh driving.

Note: Included behaviors depend on whether dash cams are installed and if so, the dash cam type. For example: behaviors such as distraction or cell phone usage are not included into the score when only a road-facing dash cam is used. If no dash cam is installed, only harsh driving and speeding behavior is included.

• Drivers are scored based on the volume of safety events generated. Fewer events result in a higher score, with the maximum score being 100.
• Personalized DRIVE scores are available after 100 miles of driving data is accrued
• DRIVE assess driving performance based on a 4-week rolling window, reflecting the most recent 4-weeks of data.
• Drivers are evaluated based on the rate of safety events generated per 1,000 miles driven. This normalized rate makes it easier to compare drivers and ensures that drivers who drive more aren’t unfairly penalized.
• Scores update every Monday

 

How are unsafe behaviors weighted in the score?

• Motive uses historical safety event and collision data across our network of over 700k vehicles to analyze which unsafe behaviors are most commonly tied to collisions.

• Unsafe behaviors most likely to cause collisions are given greater weight.

• View the ‘DRIVE Points Table’ Report in your dashboard to learn how each behavior is weighted.

 

How do safety events impact the score?

• The DRIVE score changes based on the rate of safety events generated.

• Reducing safety events will improve the score, increasing safety events will cause the score to decline

• Safety events in the ‘uncoachable’ status do not impact DRIVE score.

Note: The DRIVE score uses an objective threshold definition to determine when a safety event is included in the score calculation.

 

What are the objective threshold definitions DRIVE uses?

The below threshold definitions for each behavior indicate when a safety event is considered in the DRIVE score.

 

 

How is the DRIVE score calculated?

• Aggregate all of the safety events generated (using the DRIVE behavior threshold definitions) over the 4 week period. 
• Calculate the normalized safety event rate per 1,000 miles driven for each unsafe behavior included in the score.

Event Rate = (count of events/miles driven) * 1,000

• Determine the behavior impact on the score. The ‘DRIVE Points Table’ Report in the Fleet Dashboard indicates how points are allocated across behaviors. 

Behavior impact = Total points available - Total points received

• Calculate the final score by subtracting the sum of impact across all behaviors from the maximum score of 100. The more safety events generated, the more points are deducted from the score. 

DRIVE Score = 100 - (sum of impact of all behaviors)

 

How should you evaluate the DRIVE score?

The DRIVE performance bands indicate the risk profile of the driver. Performance bands will differ depending on the vehicle class and dash cam model.

How is vehicle class determined?

Motive determines the class of vehicle from the VIN number. The definition for light, medium, and heavy is below.
