4. Selecting the Right IVMS Know What You Are Getting
Bread-Crumbing: A GPS system configured to record the position of a vehicle at regular intervals to identify where that vehicle has traveled, and creates a series of “pin points” or “breadcrumbs” on a map displaying the vehicle’s travel history.

5. Selecting the Right IVMS Know What You Are Getting
Driver Scores: an overall driving score reflects the weighted average of several driving metrics. Examples include rapid acceleration, hard braking, speeding, idling time, (Some even show when the driver is not using a safety belt). Companies can customize the weighting based on their strategic goals and values. The overall score is normalized to fall within a range of 0 (worst) to 100 (best), on a scale of 1 to 5, or some other range

6. Selecting the Right IVMS Know What You Are Getting
Monitoring Speed: GPS velocity speed vs. hard-wired installation
GPS Velocity uses GPS for speed and distance
Hard-wired install connects to the vehicle’s electronic speed pulse (either via the vehicle’s on-board computer [ECM] or via connection to the vehicle’s speedometer cable)
You may be able to realize greater functionality by accessing more signals from more sensors when hard-wired; however, these benefits may be offset by the complexity, labor, and cost of installation.

7. Selecting the Right IVMS Factors Affecting Cost
Exception-based systems generally store and/or wirelessly transmit information to a remote destination (such as manager, supervisor, journey management center) for the configured “exception” or “event,” such as drivers or vehicles exceeding set conditions (rapid acceleration, over-speed).
Other IVMS technologies capture “exceptions” and other configured data from the vehicle depending on user defined settings for frequency (i.e., 1/ sec; 1/ min). This information is used to establish detailed driver behavior and vehicle usage reports. When so equipped, these systems are usually set up to only transmit critical information in real-time leaving the non-critical information to download in a “passive” manner, minimizing the costs associated with communication and data.

8. Planning How To Use IVMS What Are You Looking For
Tracking Indicators vary from product to product. These are the most important primary tracking indicators:
Speeding is one of the contributing factors to motor vehicle fatalities among oil and gas extraction workers. With the reduction of speed, a crash may not always be prevented, but the severity of the resulting injuries frequently can be reduced
Harsh braking is an indicator of distracted or fatigued driving, the driver following too closely, or not looking far enough ahead
Rapid acceleration is an indicator of aggressive driving or being in a hurry.
Extended Hours of Service can lead to fatigue, which is a serious problem for the oil and gas industry. Drivers of light and heavy-duty vehicles become fatigued when they have not received proper rest, exposure to night time hazards such as impaired drivers, and limited visibility.

10. Managing with IVMS Reports and Interpretation
Investigate Results – don’t just ignore, or take the driver’s testimony, or punish without looking at the situation.
Some systems allow you to drill down and see where the event took place
Look at the facts
37 mph
2 second hard brake
In this case there is a turn which makes this more concerning than if it were a straight road

11. Managing with IVMS
Motor vehicle fatality rates are high for the oil and gas extraction industry, especially in the Permian Basin.
Studies show that workers from small and medium sized companies are at the highest risk for fatality.
In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) are an effective tool for improving driving behaviors and reducing motor vehicle crashes in this industry.
Implement your system with the intent to continuously improve.
