Safety Score Configuration

You can use the Safety Score to encourage positive driving behaviors and to coach unsafe driving practices to help reduce the likelihood of accidents. Safety Events include harsh events (Harsh Brake, Harsh Acceleration, Harsh Turn, and Crashes) and behaviors include speeding, unsafe following distance, and AI unsafe behavior like Distracted Driving and Near Collision (see Safety Score Calculation). If desired, you can override the default safety score to manually assign weight and increase the relative importance of specific factors used to calculate safety scores and safety infractions by enabling Safety Score Configuration in the Safety settings. To modify or enable your Safety Score Configuration, from the Samsara dashboard navigate to Settings ( ) > Fleet > Safety > Safety Score.

For more granular control of events and speed, you can weight individual events and behaviors. For label-based events, a fleet or safety administrator must manually identify an event and assign the appropriate label before Samsara will include the event as part of the safety score calculation.

During review of safety events from the Safety Inbox, in addition to automatically detected events, you can manually add event labels as indicated by the table below as Manual Only. Assign weights to the following events:
