Fleet Safety Score Trends and Behavior Insights

The Safety Overview displays insights to your fleet safety data including your trending safety score and safety behaviors.

• Safety Score Trends

• Behavior Insights

Modify the scope of the results using any of the following options:

• View scores by driver or vehicle: Compare Safety Scores by Driver or Vehicle.

• View scores by specific date: Hover over the graph line to view safety score information for a specific date.

• Change the date range: Use the date selector to modify the date range.

Safety Score Trends

The Safety Score trend graph displays the current aggregate safety score and the change in fleet safety scores during the last 30 days (default).

Samsara calculates the aggregate safety score for each driver or vehicle, including any drivers or vehicles with the assigned tags that you select. For more information on how the safety score is calculated, see Safety Score Categories and Calculation.

To help you monitor the safety score for your fleet, you can also create a target goal when you Set a Fleet Safety Score Goal.

When reviewing the safety scores, note the following report limitations:

• You can view safety score data for a maximum duration up to one year.

• Safety scores may take up to 6 hours to reflect in the Samsara dashboard.

Behavior Insights

The Safety Score Behavior Insights highlight the key contributing trends that influence the driver safety metrics for your fleet. Selecting a Behavior Insight will display the Risk Factor report for that behavior.

Behavior insights exclude dismissed events; however, after you dismiss an event, the contributor calculation can take up to six hours to reflect the change.

Contributing factors to behavior insights exclude dismissed events

• The behavior type that has experienced the greatest change in the selected period as compared to the prior selected period

• The behavior that has the biggest impact on the score

• (For tags) the percentage comparison against other tags.

Compare Safety Scores by Driver or Vehicle

To view the distribution of safety scores across your fleet, you can view a histogram of the safety scores.

To view the safety score histogram by driver or vehicle:

1. Select either Drivers or Vehicles from the left of the Safety Overview.

2. Above the Safety Overview, select either Driver Performance or Vehicle Performance based on the selection in the prior step.

   

3. To narrow the scope of the results, use the slider bar beneath the graph to change the range to only display vehicles or drivers with safety scores in the range.

4. Use the date selector to modify the range of dates for the histogram.

5. To view data for only the vehicles or drivers with a specific safety score, select the score bar.

   

Driver Safety Score Intended Use and Best Practices

Samsara recommends that you inform your drivers that certain data collected about their driving will be used to calculate a Safety Score and recommends that you provide drivers with materials about the Safety Score configuration and calculation specific to your organization. Safety Scores should be used primarily for coaching and training purposes and to help build a safety culture within your organization. Employment decisions including, but not limited to, those involving hiring, termination, compensation, and route and hours assignments should never be based on Safety Scores alone and should always only be one data point for an employment decision that is ultimately made by a supervisor or other employee.
