Driver risk management company 4232 DriveCam is to implement its DriveCam driver risk management and fleet management solution across 2009 Greyhound Lines’ entire fleet for a five-year service contract term.

Following successful trials in its 2010 Boltbus fleet, Greyhound decided to deploy DriveCam across its entire fleet. Greyhound is now able to take advantage of DriveCam’s suite of safety and compliance services, reinforcing its safety platform.

Using its Driver Science Engine, DriveCam combines data and video analytics with real-time driver feedback and coaching, resulting in reductions in cost and fuel consumption. Through a patented, iterative process of scoring, prioritising and tracking the results of driving behaviour, this model identifies behavioural improvement opportunities for increased safety. In-cab video captures driving behaviour, which is objectively reviewed and scored, then passed on to the fleet for use in driver coaching.

Fleets manage the DriveCam program through DriveCam Online, a web-based online portal. Seamlessly integrated into DriveCam’s DC3 event recorder and the DriveCam Online reporting solution, DriveCam’s Fuel Management Solution combines real-time, in-cab feedback with online reporting and coaching to improve fuel efficiency, by up to 12 percent, and lower emissions. Unlike other vehicle-centric fuel solutions, DriveCam’s solution focuses on the driver, specifically on the three driving behaviours that have the greatest impact on fuel efficiency: efficient or smooth driving, idling and speeding.

 “Greyhound’s number one focus has always been the safe transportation of millions of passengers every year across North America,” said Dave Leach, president and CEO, Greyhound. “Incorporating DriveCam is one more way we are able to reinforce this focus.”

“It is a tremendous compliment that Greyhound Lines has decided to deploy the DriveCam program across its entire fleet,” commented Brandon Nixon, DriveCam CEO. “As a company, we are committed to Greyhound’s enduring success with the program and the delivery of outstanding value to Greyhound.”

    The use of alcohol interlocks to prevent drink driving and change driver behaviour is gaining ground around the world but needs greater buy-in from authorities as Colin Sowman discovers. The often repeated mantra says that prevention is better than cure - and none more so than in the case of drink-driving. The introduction of the breathalyser provided an objective indication of alcohol consumption instead of having drivers touch their nose or walk in a straight line. Initially breathalysers were used as a r
