Abstract

The studies were based on a large group of British Telecom (BT) van and company car drivers. The study had the following four aims. 1. Identify the most at-risk drivers. 2. Compare driver assessment scores against crash outcomes. 3. Evaluate the capabilities of the RoadRISK driver assessment program to predict likely crash outcomes. 4. Compare the outcomes from self reported crash data against insurance claims. The main results from these studies were: 1. A relatively small group of drivers appeared to be involved in a disproportionate number of crashes. 2. There was a positive relationship between driver assessment scores and crash outcomes for both the self-reported and actual crash data. 3. The system has some capability to be used as a predictor of likely crash outcomes for fleet drivers, but it should not be seen as a substitute for other best practice fleet risk management processes. 4. Recommendations were made on how the assessment tool could be improved. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E211985.
