Intro

The world's population is expanding, which leads to an increased demand for transportation to move people and things. As a result, industries like e-commerce, food delivery services, and car-sharing services are born and grow. In the meantime, one of the things that directly affects fuel economy and car longevity is driving technique. Effective management can enable a company to leverage its cost savings and enhance its competitive edge.

Challenge

Everybody drives differently, and most of the time we don't give it much thought as to how it affects fuel economy and upkeep of the car. The dangers of aggressive acceleration, hard braking, sharp corners, and speeding are not limited to the driver; they also affect other drivers on the road. Additionally, these instances of improper driving behavior lead to operating expenses that could have been prevented.

Driving inefficiency increases the amount of exhaust gas emissions released into the atmosphere, worsening the planet's environmental effects. Creating greener cities is a significant challenge that nations must address worldwide.

Without a question, the security of both passengers and cargo is a crucial factor that needs to be prioritized. Therefore, what are some ways that we might become more disciplined drivers?

Solution

Teltonika provides the answer: green driving features that gather information on hard cornering, overspeeding, braking, acceleration, and no-load engine operation. This data is examined right away. The gadget notifies the driver of their wasteful driving if the obtained values exceed the predetermined thresholds and activates the LED or buzzer that is mounted in the driver's cabin. If more analysis is needed, the same data is also forwarded to a server.

We offer a unique application called BTAPP to help drivers keep track of their driving style more easily. This is where a motorist may view the criteria that the green driving solution is keeping an eye on, flip between private and corporate travel modes, and view trip history.

It is possible to assess drivers' driving scores and distribute incentives or salaries in accordance with the results, which would encourage drivers even more. The green driving solution is an excellent illustration of how contemporary technology may promote corporate development while simultaneously improving road safety and lessening its detrimental effects on the environment. Using our Configurator, enabling and parameterizing it is simple.

We advise using tracker FMB920 to fully benefit from the green driving solution. That being said, it's encouraging to know that all Teltonika car trackers offer this feature. Regarding the driver alert functionality, kindly take note that DOUT is required on the device in order for this feature to function.

The accelerometer and GPS data are the two sources for Green Driving functionality, which is very crucial. Configurator allows the selection of the preferred one. GPS data is generally dependable and doesn't need any further work to function. However, accelerometer data is more accurate and guarantees continuous operation in situations when a GPS signal is unavailable, such as subterranean parking lots or tunnels. However, the gadget must go through an autocalibration process—which is automatic, as the name suggests, but could take some time—in order to properly use accelerometer data.

Benefits

• Reduced abrupt acceleration leads to efficient fuel consumption.
• Lower operating expenses due to improved driving quality, which saves fuel, tires, and suspension.
• Longer vehicle life: by lowering aggressive driving, you can maintain the quality of your fleet.
• Enhanced traffic safety — fewer forceful maneuvers translate into safer routes
• Reducing engine load and consequently fuel consumption and gas emissions can be achieved by smooth acceleration and maneuvering.
• Improved cargo safety: Caring driving reduces the possibility of cargo damage.
