What is Netradyne?
Netradyne is an in-cab camera system with four cameras: one facing forward, one facing the cabin, and two facing the side windows. It enhances driver safety by providing support to prevent incidents. There's no live feed or audio recording. The cameras activate automatically with the ignition, staying on for 15 minutes after it's turned off. Like backup sensors and lane departure warnings in passenger vehicles, Driver•i improves driver safety by constantly learning and adapting.
The Netradyne Driver•i camera is equipped with a 'Privacy Mode' that turns off the inward facing camera. Privacy mode is active when the camera has one solid green light, and one solid red light as illustrated in the video above. This feature can only be activated when the vehicle ignition is in the 'off' position.
Manual Privacy Mode: When the engine is off, the driver can press and hold the manual activation button on the Driver•i camera for 5 seconds to activate privacy mode manually. The inward facing camera will turn off. The external facing cameras will continue to run for up to 15 minutes.
How will I be scored?
Unlike the SmartDrive Safety Score (SDSS), a higher GreenZone score is better than a lower one. The GreenZone score is a number between 1 and 1,000, and is a combination of Alerts generated, Neutral Driving, and DriverStars.
What information will I have access to?
The GreenZone tab displays the following information:
Your Score: GreenZone Score based on driving performance.
Potential Score: Possible GreenZone Score if the Alerts were not generated.
High Impact Events: The alerts that impacted your GreenZone Score most are listed here. For example, an alert that was generated when you did not stop at a red light, which resulted in reduced GreenZone Score.
Total Minutes Analyzed: Displays the amount of time (in minutes) the vehicle was driven, including the time when vehicle was switched on but not moving.
Total Alerts: Displays total number of alerts generated for the selected duration.
Green Minutes %: Displays the number of minutes vehicle was driven without generating any alerts.
DriverStars: Displays the number of DriverStars awarded to you for the selected duration. DriverStars are awarded to recognize good driving performance. For example, if you create a space between your vehicle and the vehicle that cuts into yourlane, this is a sign of positive driving behavior, and you will receive a DriverStar.
Average Following Distance: Average distance calculated between the vehicle being driven and the vehicle ahead in the same lane. This is measured each second and averages this timeout for the duration shown (today, yesterday, this week, etc.)
Driver Score chart
You: Represents the your GreenZone Score.
Goal: Represents the fleet goal. This is also a minimum score that needs to be achieved by all drivers in the Fleet.
Poor Performance: Represents the GreenZone Score that is a minimum requirement to avoid getting rated as a poor performer.
Fleet Average: Represents the average of the GreenZone Scores secured by all the drivers in the fleet.
The Events screen provides complete information about all events generated in a specific duration. Information is split into two tabs: Alerts and DriverStars.
Alerts: The alerts tab will list all alerts that have been generated by a driver for a given time period. An alert can be tapped on in the list to view the definition along with its impact on the GreenZone score. This helps you understand why the alert was generated and how it could have been avoided. The most frequent alerts for the fleet (top 3) can also be viewed. Filters are also available so users can narrow down events to just what you want to see.
DriverStars: The DriverStars are awarded to you when you display exemplary driving behavior that has made the road safer. For example, a DriverStar may be awarded when a driver slows down after another vehicle moves into their lane. Here, they have created a safe distance between their vehicle and the vehicle in front and avoided a risky situation.
Most Frequent DriverStars: Displays the Most Frequent DriverStars (top 3) for the specified duration for your driving events.
In-cab Audio Alerts
Speeding Violations
An audio alert will sound when the driver exceeds the maximum Fleet specified speed threshold. The expected corrective action is to reduce speed below the company threshold. The driver can avoid a Speeding Alert on the dashboard by reducing their speed within 10-15 seconds.
The audible alert will say [please slow down] when a driver exceeds the speed threshold for 20 seconds.
After 30 seconds, a Speeding Alert will be transmitted to the dashboard.
After 60 seconds, the alert will sound again.
Following Distance
A driver must maintain a safe distance with the other vehicles on the road to drive safely. An audio alert is played when a driver follows a vehicle closely without maintaining a safe distance. Driver•i categorizes following distance to vehicles ahead into three zones: Green, Yellow, and Red. The categorization is done based on the time it takes for the driver to cover the distance to the vehicle ahead at the current speed.
If it takes you less than 0.6 seconds to reach the other vehicle, you are in the red zone.
If it takes you 0.6 seconds to 2 seconds to reach the other vehicle, you are in the yellow zone.
If it takes you more than 2 seconds to reach the other vehicle, you are in the green zone.
Moderate Following Distance Audio Alert
When the following distance is 1.2 seconds (Yellow Zone - Moderate), the following in-cab Audio Alert is played [beep].
This audio alerts will [beep] when the following distance is in the yellow zone.
Severe Following Distance Audible Alerts
The intent of this audio alert is for the driver to create better separation from the vehicle in front of them.
This audio alert will say [maintain safe distance] when the following distance is in the red zone.
If a driver creates greater separation and avoids the red zone within 10 seconds, a dashboard alert will not be generated.
The audio alert will repeat every 20 seconds until the driver creates greater separation from the vehicle in front of them.
If you slow down and create a safe distance with the vehicle in front within 10 seconds, this alert is not converted into a Dashboard alert.
Driver Distraction
Driving distracted for 5 seconds while driving 55 mph is like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed. If a driver has a habit of this behavior, then the risk of being involved in an accident is compounded. Addressing distracted driving through the use of in-cab audible alerts and coaching will reduce this unsafe behavior and the risk of drivers being involved in serious accidents.
Driver•i generates an audio alert [distracted driving] when the driver is looking down, looking at a phone, or talking on phone while driving. The alert is transmitted for:
Looking Down: Generated when the driver is looking down for 5 seconds continuously while the vehicle is moving at a speed greater than 15 mph.
Looking At Phone: Generated when the driver holds a phone in his hand for at least 5 seconds and looks at it for at least 40% of the 5-second period while the vehicle travels at a speed greater than 5 mph.
Talking On Phone: Generated when the driver is talking on the phone for 6 seconds continuously and there is a phone in footage while the vehicle is moving at a speed greater than 5 mph.
Forward Collision Warning
This audio alert will sound when the Driver•i device determines that there might be a collision with the vehicle ahead unless corrective action is taken by the driver. This could happen when the vehicle in front is stationary, slow-moving, or has braked suddenly. The device tracks the time-to-collision (TTC) to the vehicle in front and if the TTC is less than 2.6 sec, an in-cab audio alert is played to the driver.
This audio alert will beep five times when the TTC is less than 2.6 seconds.
Driver Drowsiness
Poor sleep, long work hours, night-time, and afternoon hours (between 1PM and 4PM) can contribute to a higher risk of drowsy driving. It is important to identify driver drowsiness and alert the driver to avert tragic and deadly consequences. In-cab audio alerts can help you self-correct when the system detects that you are about to fall asleep.
The audio alert [Please Stay Alert] is played when the Driver•i device detects that you are drowsy.
Sign/Signal violations
An in-cab audio alert saying [No stop detected] will sound a few seconds after a driver runs a stop sign or red light.
These alerts are described in more detail below in the dashboard alerts section.
Take care of the trucks! Harsh Handling can now earn you points!
The green and yellow traces at the bottom of each video indicate how fast the vehicle is braking/accelerating (green) or turning (yellow). Different patterns can indicate impatient or aggressive driving, near collisions, or emergency situations that require an immediate response. Harsh Handling alerts are classified as moderate or severe depending on how much the green or yellow trace deviates from the flat center line.
The following are the types of Harsh Handling alerts:
Hard Braking
The Hard Braking alert is generated when a vehicle slows down suddenly at a rate that exceeds the alert threshold set for the Fleet.
GreenZone Impact: Medium
Hard Turn
Turning at high speeds can result in loss of control, load shift, as well as damage to the vehicle or freight/packages. The Hard Turn alert is generated when a vehicle makes a left or right turn at a rate that exceeds the alert’s G-force threshold.
GreenZone Impact: Medium
Hard Acceleration
Hard acceleration might indicate impatience or rushing on the part of the driver. Accelerating hard during the drive can possibly damage the vehicle or the goods that are carried in the vehicle. The Hard Acceleration alert is generated when a vehicle experiences a sudden increase in speed that exceeds the alert threshold set for the Fleet.
GreenZone Impact: Low
Driver I and Truck connections
LED 1 is on the driver side & LED 2 is on the passenger side.
Troubleshooting
Mobile Device Bluetooth and Device Location must be turned on before starting the trip and must remain on throughout the drive time.
If you cannot verify log in via the Driver•i app and cannot reset your password, escalate to your manager.
