Safety Analytics

Bookovia’s Safety Analytics transforms raw telematics data into actionable safety insights, providing comprehensive driver behavior analysis, predictive risk assessment, and detailed safety scoring to help organizations improve fleet safety and reduce incidents.

Overview

Safety Analytics combines multiple data sources to create a comprehensive picture of driving behavior:

Sensor Data - Accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS inputs
Location Intelligence - Speed limits, road conditions, and traffic patterns
Historical Analysis - Behavioral trends and risk patterns
Machine Learning - Predictive models for crash risk assessment
Industry Benchmarks - Comparative safety metrics

Safety Scoring System

Score Calculation

Safety scores are calculated using weighted factors:

Factor	Weight	Description
Acceleration	25%	Harsh acceleration events and patterns
Braking	25%	Hard braking incidents and smoothness
Cornering	20%	Sharp turns and lateral G-forces
Speeding	20%	Speed limit violations and excessive speed
Phone Usage	10%	Mobile device usage while driving

Driving Events Detection

Event Types

Bookovia automatically detects various driving events:

Harsh Acceleration

Threshold: > 3.5 m/s² for 2+ seconds
Factors: Vehicle type, road conditions, traffic
Severity: Low, Medium, High, Critical

    "speed_before": 15,
    "speed_after": 45,
    "road_type": "urban"
  }
}

Harsh Braking

Threshold: > -4.0 m/s² for 1+ seconds
Context: Traffic conditions, following distance
