Solera digital driver safety training is personalized for individual drivers based on their driving habits. Training that’s clear, concise, and easily accessible by smartphone can reduce crashes, injuries, and business risks.
The largest cause of crashes is driver error. Solera helps fleets reduce the risk of poor driving habits that can lead to disaster for fleets, drivers, and anyone else involved.
Our success is proven worldwide
More than 3.5 billion miles and numerous worldwide awards show that digital fleet driver safety training works. Over an 18-month period, we’ve helped high-risk drivers improve their FICO® Safe Driving Score by 70%, reduce speeding by up to 85%, and reduce distractions by up to 88%!
Drivers get individualized FICO® Safe Driving Score
Solera has partnered with FICO®, the leader in industry analytics, so that drivers can see and work on their individual FICO® Safe Driving Scores. FICO scoring is validated to predict the likelihood of a driver being involved in a collision.
It’s all in the app — no hardware required
Whereas many systems require proprietary hardware, Solera’s MentorSM app uses smartphone sensors to collect and analyze risk-predictive driver behaviors like speeding and phone distraction. Personalized, data-based driver safety training is then delivered through the same smartphone.
Short, interactive training modules lasting 3 to 5 minutes focus on areas where data indicates remediation is needed. Risky habits like speeding, distracted driving, tailgating, hard turns, hard braking, poor lane changes, and more all have dedicated training modules.
Solera gives your drivers a secure, privacy-first experience
Driver data should be considered private and confidential. By eliminating intrusive, contentious tracking and monitoring, Solera lets you respect your drivers’ right to privacy while still achieving the improvements you need to see in driving performance and safety.
Promote safety competition with rewards and gamification
The Circles function promotes friendly competition and safety-focused communications by letting users set up groups in which they can see fellow team members’ progress and scores. Drivers can use the chat function, including on-point emojis, to send each other motivational messages.
The award-winning MentorSM app risk reduction methodology
The MentorSM app combines our Crash-Free Culture® risk reduction methodology with a unique smartphone app that identifies and remediates risky driving behavior with in-app micro-training and coaching.
Driving Risk Monitoring (DRM) provides continuous visibility
Solera’s DRM service monitors your driver’s licenses 365 days a year. It assigns risk ratings, often in under five minutes. If new activity or status changes are detected, it automatically sends notifications and performs subsequent MVR checks as a follow-up.
Mentor Insight provides telematics-free risk management
Mentor Insight identifies and remediates risky driver behavior using scoring, eLearning, coaching, and gamification while recognizing safe, eco-friendly driving with rewards on a data-secure platform without relying on telematics.
The DriverINDEX® Score combines data into a single number
For complete driver risk scoring, the DriverINDEX®Score combines data on collisions and other incidents, license checks, and, optionally, RoadRISK® results into a single driver score so performance can be benchmarked and fleets can identify their most at-risk drivers for training and coaching.
Build a Crash-Free Culture® to protect the entire fleet
Real safety isn’t just about training; it’s about embracing a Culture of Safety. Fleets around the world use Solera’s patented five-stage driver risk management program to build safety into the environment to support long-lasting behavioral change.
Driver Event Reporting lets drivers directly file incident reports
Fleets can reduce insurance claim costs by up to 40% by having drivers file crash and incident reports quickly and directly. This also helps the driver understand exactly what happened and how to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Driver safety training educates drivers on safe driving practices and the specific behaviors that minimize or maximize risk. Fleet driver safety training for commercial truck drivers is specialized instruction that addresses the specific challenges and responsibilities of operating large vehicles such as semi-trucks, trailers, and tankers. Fleet driver safety training can help fleets reduce collisions and their impact on human safety and the fleet’s business operations. Driver safety training can also reduce the expensive litigation that inevitably follows a crash. It can also reduce fuel costs since risky driving habits can hugely influence fuel consumption.
To improve fleet safety, Solera driver safety training uses a multi-faceted approach based on a deep understanding of how drivers actually learn. The MentorSM app uses smartphone sensors to collect and analyze risk-predictive driver behaviors like speeding and device-related distraction. Training modules are short, with most lasting only three to five minutes, and they’re custom-selected for each driver, focusing on areas where the data says training is needed most, including high-risk behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, tailgating, hard turns, hard braking, or poor lane changes.
Fleets can utilize smartphone telematics provided by the Mentor app to measure risky driving behaviors, including phone distractions. Other technologies, such as in-cab video, can watch drivers for distracted behaviors and issue real-time alerts. Finally, fleets must be clear about the rules and consequences for drivers who consistently allow themselves to become distracted. Truly successful efforts to address distracted driving will require a collective shift in mindset as a major component of building a safety culture. Approximately 94% of crashes are caused by driver attitude and behavior, including yielding to distractions. This underscores the urgency of cultivating a genuine safety culture to encourage safer driving habits.
Fleet driver safety training should be conducted regularly, although the scheduling will vary based on several factors, including regulatory requirements, fleet requirements, and the driver’s risk score and driving record. Fleets should provide training to each new driver as they join the fleet, followed by annual, semi-annual, or even monthly refresher training. Specific mitigation training should be scheduled immediately if risky driving habits are consistently observed. Training should also be initiated soon after an incident.
Driver safety performance can be measured via their FICO® Safe Driving Score, which predicts the likelihood of an incident. It can also be monitored post-training continually via the Mentor app. Using the Solera fleet driver safety training system, high-risk drivers have improved their safety scores by up to 51% after just six months of training and up to 70% after 18 months. Speeding was reduced by up to 85%, and distracted driving by up to 88%, also after 18 months.
Driver safety training is an essential part of creating a fleet-wide Crash-Free Culture®. Safety training makes drivers aware of their own risky habits, such as speeding, distracted driving, tailgating, hard turns, hard braking, poor lane changes, or even dangerous parking. Data can be used to promote friendly safe-driving competitions and safety-focused conversations. Improved fleet crash statistics can keep premium costs from rising and even help lower them. Fewer crashes also mean less litigation.
With training delivered through the Mentor app, managers can see which training modules have been assigned and completed. Managers can also track DriverINDEX®Scores, RoadRISK® risk assessments, and FICO® Safe Driving Scores during and after training and note any improvements or lack thereof.
All drivers receive a DriverINDEX®Score, which combines collision, incident, and license check data, plus, optionally, RoadRISK® results, in one driver score. This facilitates benchmarking and identification of an organization’s most at-risk drivers for training and coaching. In addition, through eDriving’s partnership with industry analytics leader FICO®, drivers receive an individual FICO® Safe Driving Score validated to predict the likelihood of a driver being involved in a crash or incident.
