How Event Severity helps you
Event Severity helps Fleet Managers prioritize the safety event review process.
Event Severity overview
When enabled, video safety, braking and speeding events will have one of the five available severity values (critical, high, medium, low, NA) assigned.
Speeding Severity
The severity of the event increases as the vehicle exceeds the speed limit. The exact definitions are outlined below:
Severity | Speeding Severity definition (based on average speed observed) |
Low | < 6 mph over the posted speed limit for at least 1 minute |
Medium | 6 -10 mph over the posted speed limit for at least 1 minute |
High | 11-14 mph over the posted speed limit for at least 1 minute |
Critical | >= 15 mph over the posted speed limit for at least 1 minute |
NA | NA severity type is usually added to events that do not have videos or are not reviewed by the team |
Video Safety Events (excluding braking)
Video safety events are assigned a severity value based on behavior type, intensity, duration, traffic conditions, and environmental factors such as weather. The chart below can be used to understand how to interpret the severity value on a video event.

Braking Severity
Braking events (with no other behaviors present) are assigned a severity value based on the rate of deceleration.
Severity | Braking Severity definition |
Low | 7.46 mph/s - 7.77 mph/s |
Medium | 7.78 mph/s - 8.65 mph/s |
High | 8.66 mph/s + |
