PHOENIX — More actionable data, onboard safety technology and new equipment are helping carriers focus their safety efforts, customize coaching and reduce the risk of a crash.

States have until May 1 to apply for up to $350 million in grants from NHTSA to upgrade and standardize their crash data systems to enable full electronic information sharing with the agency.

Idelic, a data and analytics firm that focuses on crash prevention, announced the release of its next generation of fleet insight tools along with a new performance dashboard.

It’s often said in business that you can’t manage what you don’t measure. SmartIQ analytics help fleet managers to understand how their fleet is performing and answer key questions—not just about safety performance, but also driving and coaching performance, fuel consumption, idling, vehicle use and much more.
