Driving Performance Monitoring

A driver coaching cycle that the whole fleet can run from the same data. Each driver carries a transparent scoreboard built from severity-banded harsh events, speeding, idling and route compliance, joined to fuel and maintenance trends so the operator, the safety officer and the driver see the same picture. The Friday review opens with the trailing 7-day board, the top three exceptions per driver and the trip replay one click below each one, ready for a ten-minute conversation that improves the next week's drive.

Direct answer

Driving Performance Monitoring from TG Tracking turns the fleet's raw telemetry into a per-driver scoreboard, a coaching workflow and an evidence trail. Harsh braking, harsh acceleration, harsh cornering, speeding, idling and route deviation all attach to a driver, not just to a vehicle. It pairs with AI Camera Solutions for in-cab context, Fleet Tracking and Management for the trip layer underneath, and Maintenance Scheduling for the wear-and-tear knock-on. The cluster overview is at Operations and Workflow.

What the scoreboard actually carries

A driver score is a weighted view of the events that matter for safety, the fuel bill and the insurance trend.

• Speeding events. Mild, moderate and severe, scored against contextual road-speed.
• Harsh braking, acceleration and cornering. Severity-banded so a rough off-ramp does not score the same as a 0.6 g panic stop.
• Idling. Past your fleet threshold, separating productive idle from wasted idle.
• Route compliance. Off-route trips that exceed the geofence buffer.
• AI camera events. Distraction, phone use, fatigue and following-distance, where the cab carries AI Camera Solutions.

Each driver carries a profile, not a single number. The supervisor sees the trend line, the top three exceptions of the week, and the trip replay one click below each event.

The Friday coaching cycle

A driver score that nobody acts on is data that nobody uses. The platform runs a weekly coaching cycle.

The supervisor opens the trailing 7-day board, picks the bottom three drivers, opens the trip replay for the worst event each, and sits with the driver for ten minutes. The conversation runs against video, telemetry and a known route. Coaching outcomes log on the driver's profile. The next week's board reads against the same baseline so improvement is visible. Repeat offenders surface as a separate exception list.

For mining contractors and high-compliance fleets, the same cycle feeds the Mining IVMS compliance log.

Coaching, not punishment

Driver scoring works when drivers see the score as a coaching tool. It backfires when the rollout reads as surveillance. The platform is configured around three rules:

Transparency. Drivers see their own score and trend line in TG Online or on a kiosk. The supervisor's view and the driver's view are the same data.

Severity bands. A 5 km/h-over event in light traffic is not the same as a 22 km/h-over event in a school zone. The score reflects the difference.

Right of reply. The trip replay is available to the driver before any disciplinary conversation. Most disagreements close on the first viewing because the data is clear, not contested.

What the supervisor sees, and what the exec sees

The supervisor opens the trailing 7-day board on a Friday. The safety officer opens the rolling 30-day trend on a Tuesday. The finance director sees monthly litres-per-100-km and brake-replacement spend joined to the driver-score quartile. Same data, three cuts, no spreadsheets.

The data plugs into Fuel Monitoring, Maintenance Scheduling and Fleet and Asset Utilisation Tracking. The API and webhooks push the score to your HR or training platform.

South African coaching, in South African conditions

Local fleets coach against local realities. Highveld thunderstorms shift braking events. Free State dust shifts following-distance scoring. Mining contractor protocols are stricter than commercial defaults . AARTO infringements need to align with on-fleet speeding events for the disciplinary record . Thresholds are configurable per fleet so a long-haul operator and a last-mile courier do not run the same scoreboard.
