Driving scores and related metrics are based on what is supported by the integration of the fleet sofware that you use.
All metrics will automatically update daily through your fleet integration to provide month over month insights. Applause organizes and displays the data, without altering or recalculating the source information.
Driving Days
Total number of days where we received driving data.
Driving Score
This metric pulls the driving safety score from the business's connected fleet software for an employee during the current month.
Acceleration Score & Count
Each hard acceleration event receives a 0–100 score based on severity, time of day, and weather conditions. The overall score is calculated by summing all event scores and normalizing them against total miles driven.
Braking Score & Count
Each braking event receives a 0–100 score based on severity, time of day, and weather conditions. The overall braking score is calculated in the same way as acceleration.
Cornering Score
Generated based on factors including speed of the vehicle, vehicle class, and spatio temporal index.
Distracted Driving Score & Count
Based on phone usage duration, speed of vehicle, and spatio temporal index.
Idling Score
Idling scores are based on the percentage of time a driver spends idling during trips, adjusted for relative miles driven, with 21% idling equal to a score of 70.
Seatbelt Score & Count
Based on the percentage of seatbelt usage of drivers.
Speeding Score
Based on how fast and how long the driver exceeded the speed limit, time of day, and weather conditions. The overall speeding score calculated by totaling all event scores and adjusting for relative miles driven.
Harsh Acceleration
Reflects events when a vehicle accelerates with a sudden increase of 16+ mph within 2 seconds.
Harsh Braking
Reflects events where a vehicle rapidly decelerated, which may indicate unsafe or aggressive driving behavior.
Harsh Turning
This metric reflects sharp or abrupt turns that may indicate unsafe cornering or high-speed maneuvers.
Excessive Speeding
Captures more severe speeding events where the vehicle exceeds the posted limit by a large margin (e.g., 20+ mph over). A perfect score is 100%
Cell Phone Usage & Count
Events where cell phone usage was detected.
Driver Facing Cam Obstruction Count
Number of events where detection of an obstruction that blocks the camera's field of view.
Moderation & Severe Acceleration
Captures instances of acceleration that are classified as moderate and severe.
Moderate & Severe Hard Braking
Reflects deceleration events that are classified as moderate and severe.
Moderate & Severe Cornering Score
Captures aggressive cornering events, which may indicate unsafe driving during turns.
Drowsy Driving Count
Detection of a driver that appears fatigued or unaware while driving.
Forward Collision Warning Count
Detection of an imminent collision with another vehicle directly ahead.
Stop Sign Violation Count
Detection of a driver passing through a stop sign at an unsafe speed or without stopping.
Tailgating Count
Detection of a driver tailgating or following a vehicle too closely at an unsafe distance.
Unsafe Lane Change Count
Detection of a driver following a vehicle at an unsafe distance before or after a lane change.
Unsafe Parking Count
Detection of a vehicle parked unsafely.
Note: These driving metrics cover most common measurements. Specific metrics contributing to your driving score may vary by software.
