You Can't Improve the Risks You Can't See.
Your drivers make hundreds of decisions on the road every day.
Some are routine. Others can have serious consequences.
Excessive speed, sudden braking, unsafe acceleration, or ignored safety procedures can increase operational risk, often without fleet managers being aware of what is happening.
Without reliable driving data, improving fleet safety becomes a guessing game.
01
Risky Driving Goes Unnoticed
Dangerous driving patterns can remain invisible until an incident occurs.
02
Limited Driver Accountability
Without objective information, identifying where drivers need additional support or training becomes difficult.
03
Inconsistent Safety Standards
Maintaining consistent driving policies across vehicles, locations, and contractors requires dependable monitoring.
04
Too Much Data. Not Enough Insight.
Raw vehicle information is not enough. Fleet managers need meaningful reports that highlight relevant safety concerns.
Your fleet needs more than vehicle tracking.
It needs visibility into the driving behaviors that affect safety.
Turn Every Journey Into an Opportunity for Safer Driving.
An In-Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) combines vehicle telematics, driver identification, configurable safety alerts, and driving behavior analysis.
Installed vehicle technology captures relevant driving events and transmits them to GPS Fleet Software.
Fleet managers can review these events, identify recurring behavior patterns, and make informed decisions about driver coaching and operational safety.
Depending on the installation, drivers can also receive immediate audible warnings inside the vehicle when selected safety limits are exceeded.
IVMS is particularly valuable in industries where transportation safety is a critical operational responsibility. Explore the wider fleet tracking and visibility capabilities that IVMS builds on.

Know Which Drivers Need Attention. At a Glance.
Not every driving event carries the same meaning, and not every driver demonstrates the same habits.
GPS Fleet Software's IVMS reporting helps fleet managers evaluate driving behavior using a configurable scoring approach.
Events can be analyzed in relation to distance traveled, including the number of relevant events per 100 kilometers.
The results are presented through an intuitive color-coded driver classification.
GREEN, LOW RISK
Consistently Safer Driving Behavior
Drivers in the green category have relatively few recorded safety events according to the configured evaluation criteria.
Their driving behavior generally aligns well with the selected monitoring standards.
ORANGE, MEDIUM RISK
Room for Improvement
Drivers in the orange category demonstrate patterns that may require closer attention.
Targeted coaching and increased awareness can help address recurring events.
RED, HIGH RISK
Priority for Driver Coaching
Drivers in the red category have a comparatively high frequency of relevant safety events.
Their reports can help fleet managers identify priorities for safety discussions, training, and corrective action.
Fairer Comparisons. More Useful Reports.
Driver evaluations can consider recorded safety events relative to distance traveled, with configurable calculation rules. Depending on the report, driving time can also provide additional context.
Fleet managers can:
- Evaluate drivers and vehicles.
- Compare driving event frequencies.
- Review events per 100 kilometers.
- Configure evaluation formulas.
