Driver monitoring and eco-driving: fewer risks, lower costs

An eco-driving score for the fleet, impact and braking alerts, licences kept up to date and accidents ranked by driver, within the framework set by the CNIL.

Driving events reported by telematics: harsh cornering, harsh acceleration, harsh braking

Driver monitoring in three facts

  • An eco-driving score shown in the dashboard, next to the TCO and fleet availability.
  • Behaviour alerts reported by the vehicle: impact or collision, braking failure, brake pedal.
  • One RFID badge per employee for picking up shared vehicles.

What a poorly monitored driver costs

  • An expired or suspended licence that nobody knows about, and the company's liability engaged.
  • Repeated accidents involving the same drivers, with no consolidated view to act on.
  • Harsh driving that wears out brakes, tyres and fuel, with no warning before the invoice.

What you get with Dadycar

The principle: vehicle data and employee records meet in a single fleet management software, and every signal has an owner.

Eco-driving score

An eco-driving indicator calculated from telematics data and followed in the dashboard, per site and per period.

Trips per vehicle

The trip history of connected vehicles, by GPS/OBD device or by OEM vehicle, linked to the assigned driver.

Behaviour alerts

Impact or collision, braking failure, brake pedal: signals reported by the vehicle, with configurable severity, threshold and recipient.

Employee records and RFID badge

Role, site, account status and RFID badge per employee: the basis for assignments and car sharing.

Driving licences tracked

The licence is a driver document with an expiry date: an alert before the deadline, an up-to-date proof in the file.

Accidents ranked by driver

Every accident is reported with its liability and its status; the ranking of the most accident-prone drivers guides prevention.

How it works

  1. 1Create your employees and assign the vehicles. Records, RFID badges, sites and named or pool assignments from the employees and sites module.
  2. 2Connect the vehicles and set the alerts. Telematics reports trips and behaviour signals; you set thresholds and recipients.
  3. 3Follow the score and the accidents. Eco-driving score in the dashboard, ranking of accidents per driver in the claims and fines module.

Who it is for

  • Fleet managers: licences, assignments and accidents kept in one place (see the role page).
  • HR managers: licences tracked and ANTAI driver naming prepared from the assignment (see the role page).
  • Healthcare and emergency services: vehicles shared between teams, picked up by badge (see the industry page).

Your questions before getting started

  • “What if my drivers refuse geolocation?” The CNIL framework requires prior information, specific purposes and deactivation outside working hours; Dadycar's time-based geofencing serves that distinction.
  • “Do I need a device?” For the score and the behaviour alerts, yes, or a connected OEM vehicle. Licences, assignments and accidents work with no hardware.
  • “Is this a disciplinary tool?” No: the signals serve prevention, servicing and safety, and the CNIL rules out speed-limit monitoring through geolocation.

Frequently asked questions

What is corporate eco-driving?

Eco-driving is a set of driving practices (anticipation, steady pace, progressive braking) that reduce fuel consumption, vehicle wear and accident risk. In a fleet, it is measured through a score derived from telematics data and managed per site and per period. See the eco-driving article.

How do you monitor the behaviour of fleet drivers?

Through the data reported by the vehicle (GPS/OBD device or connected OEM vehicle): trips, impact or collision, braking, brake condition, tyre pressure. Dadycar turns them into alerts with a threshold and a recipient, and into an eco-driving score shown in the dashboard. Accidents are ranked by driver.

Can an employer geolocate employees' vehicles?

Yes, under conditions: a legitimate purpose (safety, service tracking, route optimisation), written information to employees, consultation of staff representatives, limited retention periods. The CNIL prohibits collection outside working hours, permanent surveillance and speed-limit monitoring.

How do you check employees' driving licences?

The licence is stored as a driver document with its expiry date; Dadycar alerts before the deadline and keeps the proof in the documents module. The validity of the licence is the driver's responsibility; the employer may ask for a periodic declaration.

What is a driver's RFID badge for?

The RFID badge identifies the employee when picking up a shared vehicle: the trip is attached to the right person, with no key and no data entry. In Dadycar, the badge appears on the employee record and is used with the car sharing schedule.
