Navigation and mapping specialist 7643 Here and vehicle tracking and fleet management company 2074 Navman Wireless have announced a partnership to build an advanced driver behaviour analytics application that helps improve safety for global fleet managers.

Safety Analytics, an application within Navman Wireless' Director suite of fleet management software and services, enables fleet managers to measure how safely their drivers are performing on the road by monitoring their behaviour in real-time. The application can also calculate a cumulative, quantitative score for each individual driver so managers can offer corrective assistance and training programs to address areas of concern.

Safety Analytics leverages enhanced fleet management services via APIs from the Here Platform for Business suite of location services to ensure accurate analysis of driver compliance with legal restrictions along designated routes. For example, the application matches the route a driver took using GPS coordinates and compares that to data such as posted speed limits and road signs, providing a post-drive analysis that identifies if the driver is exhibiting any unsafe behaviour.
