Nauto has developed a new AI-powered Coaching Dashboard for fleet managers and a mobile app, Nauto Driver, for fleet drivers to self-coach.

The company’s Nauto Prevent technology gives real-time, in-cab notifications that help stop high-risk driving behaviors the moment they occur and coach drivers to improve their behavior over time. One of Nauto’s customers, LeasePlan, has seen a 70 percent decrease in distractions since July 2018.

Nauto’s new Coaching Dashbaord uses algorithms to detect and review high-risk events for fleet safety operations while maintaining driver privacy. Nauto’s automated event analysis prioritizes high-risk driving events in real-time, eliminating the need to wait for fleets to review and discuss coachable events with drivers.

In addition, Nauto has updated its Visually Enhanced Risk Assessment (VERA) Scores with a new risk algorithm, based on analysis and learnings from over 250-million video miles.

Nauto Driver provides drivers mobile visibility of their driving behaviors to proactively coach themselves to improve. Previously, only fleet management and safety leaders had access to high-risk event videos to spot coachable opportunities with context-rich footage available in Nauto’s Fleet Safety Application.

The app gives fleet drivers direct visibility into their VERA Scores and high-risk driving footage. The Nauto Driver App is available in both iOS and Android versions.

“Evidence-based coaching is proven to reduce collisions, increase savings and improve road safety,” said Sanket Akerkar, senior vice president, Global Fleets and Insurance, Nauto. “With the introduction of the Coaching Dashboard and Nauto Driver, we’re now providing fleet safety leaders the most comprehensive set of coaching and self-coaching capabilities on the market.”
