Managing safety rules for a diverse fleet can be challenging. We're excited to solve this problem with a set of new, GPS-based safety rules. These new rules for acceleration, braking, and cornering offer improved accuracy and, best of all, require no complex setup.

Note: The new rules are not replacing the existing rules. Instead, you will have the option to enable the version of the rule that best suits your needs.

Automatic asset calibration: The system will automatically calibrate events to the asset. This means there will be no more need to create multiple groups or separate rules for your different vehicle types. More accurate events, fewer false positives: By using GPS data and enhanced logic, these rules will be significantly better at filtering out "noise" (like driving over a pothole) and identifying true safety events. Simple On/Off setup: There's no complex configuration needed. You can simply toggle these rules on, and they work. Linked to Geotab Vitality: These will be the same standardized rules we use for our high-level collision risk benchmarking. By using them, you'll see the events that are directly linked to the collision risk profiles of your fleet.

This update will save you significant time and improve the quality of your safety data. Instead of spending hours managing complex rule sets, you will be able to flip a switch and get more meaningful insights. For your team, this means less time chasing false alarms and more time coaching drivers on the real events that impact fleet safety. It provides a simple, powerful, and standardized way to monitor harsh driving across your entire, diverse fleet.

Note: To avoid disrupting your current workflows, these new rules will be OFF by default at launch. You can easily enable them at any time on the Rules page.
