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 |
