OBJECTIVE: DriverINDEX predictive modeling provides clients with state of the art tools and analysis to aid the identification of their most 'at-risk' drivers for targeted risk reduction activity.

One of the pioneers in predictive modeling, Interactive Driving Systems® has been helping clients support their most 'at-risk' drivers since 1999. DriverINDEX is the next link in the chain following your drivers 'pro-active' RoadRISK™ assessment. Once the RoadRISK™ assessment has identified your drivers strengths and weaknesses, DriverINDEX can then call in data from various 'data universes' to strengthen the predictive nature of the assessment.

As not all clients have or want the full range of data available to them to be included in DriverINDEX for either practical, data protection / privacy concerns or lack of availability, DriverINDEX has been built to enable clients to effectively grow their own custom predictive modeling tool. In this way, clients can start gently as they get use to the power of the technique and grow as their driver safety culture embraces the opportunity.

Bob Heinisch, VP Safety, Eagle Transport:

'We (Eagle) have been using DriverINDEX for the last 9 years to help our terminal and safety managers identify their most at risk drivers for further support and training. Combining MVR, Crash / Collision and SafeStat data has enabled Eagle to develop a predictive model that stops incidents before they happen, identifies the specific interventions required to help drivers overcome their weaknesses and deliver targeted training where it is most required. The key to our success is total transparency with our drivers and objectivity of the data. We do not allow anything in our model that our drivers can dispute'.

DriverINDEX is not designed to swamp a client with data for endless review and analysis - it is designed to present the information that matters in an easy to follow format enabling drivers and managers alike to review their progress towards creating a crash free culture together as a team.

Jeff St Pierre, VP Safety, Panther Expedited Services:

'I have been working with the team at Interactive Driving Systems® since 2000 developing and growing our predictive modeling process to drive both service and safety performance. We have found that including and evaluating metrics that identify and address driver behavioral traits, we can modify habits and eventual drive improved behavior performance through positive interventions over a three to six month time frame. The unintended consequence of modifying safety behavior is the positive impact on customer service, on-time performance and driver availability. With 2000 plus drivers, we at Panther Expedited Services, Inc. have documented performance objectives which DriverINDEX has enabled us to take to a higher level. It allows us the ability to identify the drivers that need personal attention while allowing us the ability to reward and recognize those that perform flawlessly in relation to their peers. Pushing individual performance data down to the driver level has proven to be critical to successful management of behavior change as many drivers seek support and guidance on how to drive their own personal safety performance'.

What do we do once we know who our most 'at risk' drivers are?

Training and management interventions are the key to success. Once DriverINDEX has helped you identify who to target for support, Virtual Risk Managers® PATENTED management information system can also distribute subject specific RiskCOACH's to drivers based on their strengths (reinforcement) and weaknesses. In this way, clients evolve a responsive system across their organization to keep the safety message alive and current across every tier of the business.

DriverINDEX is profitable!

Clients over the last few months have started to realize how DriverINDEX pays for itself in days through adding targets for fuel consumption, idling and CO2 emissions. Eco-DRIVING is one of those rare concepts that crosses the safety / profitability boundary. As we say in our training Eco-DRIVING is Defensive Driving - one cannot exist without the other. Key metrics like MPG, CO2 and Idling offer massive opportunities for clients to combine your safety and cost management objectives.
