When you set relative weights of different driver behavior parameters, the weights affect the relative contribution of a parameter to the overall score.
 |
For example, selecting a weight of 1 for Green Band and 10 for Coasting would mean the Coasting parameter contribution to the overall score will be 10 times higher than that of Green Band’s. 1 to 10 weights are converted automatically into percentages summing up to one hundred. Example: Assigning Coasting a weight of 10 and Green Band a weight of 1 are automatically converted to respective percentage weights of 91% and 9%.
To set weights, click Configure and adjust the slide to the desired scoring weight for each metric. You can also set a metric weight to OFF to remove it from calculation in the overall score.
You can set scores (1: Least important; 10: Most important; or OFF) for the following metrics:
Metric |
Description |
|---|---|
Cruise Control |
Time a driver uses cruise control in proportion to driving time. |
Coasting (any gear) |
Time spent without engaging the accelerator in proportion to driving time. |
High Torque |
Time a vehicle's engine torque > 90% in proportion to driving time. |
Green Band |
Time in efficient RPM (800-1700) in proportion to driving time. |
Anticipation |
Quick braking events (<1 second after accelerating) in proportion to total braking events. |
Idling |
Time when the vehicle's engine is idle and PTO is not engaged. |
Over Speed |
Time when the vehicle is traveling faster than the optimal efficient vehicle speed in proportion to driving time. You can also adjust the speed threshold from the legal speed limit to one that works best for your fleet. The default is the recommended max speed above which the fuel efficiency decreases (Source: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/driveHabits.jsp). As a best practice, adjust the value to reflect a target maximum for your drivers that are specific to the vehicles they drive. |
Engine On Time |
Time the driver spends with the engine on, calculated as driving time plus idle time. |
At any time, you can reset the weights to the default values. The defaults vary according to region:
Europe: All parameters enabled with equal weights of 5 (or ~14%)
US and Americas: Over Speed and Idling with the weight of 5 (or 50% each). Other metrics are off and thus excluded from the efficiency score.
Speed threshold of 80 KMH / 50 MPH.
