Uncover Blind Spots in Fleet-Accident Costs

摘要

On average, approximately 20 percent of a company's fleet will be involved in an accident this year, says Rich Radi, director of driver excellence for ARI. He suggests that related expenses such as medical bills, vehicle repairs, and potentially significant indirect costs may be hidden in a business' blind spot. According to ARI, the average crash costs employers about $16,500, jumping to more than $74,000 for a crash with injuries, and even $500,000 or more if there is a fatality. Radi suggests that a truly effective driver program is built on a foundation of monitoring driving habits in real time. "Rapidly evolving technologies such as telematics and advanced data analytics allow you to quickly identify and address high-risk behavior to improve performance, minimize risk, and reduce accident costs," he says.
