INBRIEF ARI Accident Dashboard unveils fleet accident trends A RI, a provider of fleet services, added an Accident Dashboard to its ARI Insights portal to help fleet managers see the impact that accidents have on a company's bottom line and identify trends and pat- terns that might suggest additional training is needed or other changes should be made in order to prevent accidents. Available to clients using ARI's Accident Management and Telemat- ics program, the Accident Dashboard details accident-related data across an entire fleet through charts and graphs. Accidents can be ex- amined by day of the week and time of day, all over a 12-month period, helping fleet managers identify potentially at-risk time periods. Fleet managers also can identify drivers with multiple incidents and the average cost per incident. e dashboard contains 14 metrics to monitor, analyze and take action on accident claim information. e Accident Dashboard also gives fleet managers the ability to fairly compare accident rates among dif- ferent divisions, since it is able to determine the number of claims per million miles driven. Previ- ously, fleet man- agers only were able to compare divisions by the number of ac- cidents that had occurred without taking into ac- count how much each had traveled. "With accident data presented this way, we believe fleet managers are able to understand the trends behind accidents in their fleets and will be able to better determine what actions can be taken to minimize accidents, and what driver safety training needs to be assigned as a result," said Tony Candeloro, vice president of product development and client information services. Accident Dashboard also tracks the costs associated with each ac- cident, allowing users to identify the average and total cost for prevent- able and nonpreventable accidents by division and plot that informa- tion to see the trend over the past five quarters. ARI also introduced ARI WatchList, another tool available via ARI In- sights to clients using Accident Management and Telematics. e ARI WatchList tool will notify a fleet manager of critical events such as acci- dents and downtime as they happen and allow such events to be moni- tored in a newsfeed format reminiscent of a social media feed. – Aaron Huff ARI's Accident Dashboard details accident-related data across an entire fleet through charts and graphs.
