Automated Collision Reporting

The Automated Collision Report provides a quick, AI-verified summary of collision events, combining key vehicle, driver, and telematics data into a single downloadable report. This feature helps fleets streamline documentation, improve incident response, and maintain consistent reporting standards.

Overview

When a collision is detected by Motive’s AI and verified by the Motive Safety Review Team, an automated collision report is generated.

The report includes:

  • Vehicle telematics data (speed, braking behavior)

  • Event location and timestamp

  • Driver information

  • Vehicle details

  • Video screenshots (if available)

  • Additional vehicle history data (if enabled)

The report is attached to collision alert emails sent to designated recipients as a PDF.

Note: The PDF is generated based on the recipient’s language preference
