Lytx driver safety solutions help save lives

Lytx, is a global leader in developing and delivering solutions that improve driver safety and performance by changing human behaviour. Put simply: Lytx helps save lives.

Paul Jones, Vice President and General Manager for Europe, summarises the Lytx approach: “We help our customers to identify and manage the high-risk areas within their fleet to help prevent collisions. We do this by combining sophisticated data analytics with expert video review. This process enables us to predict the type of risky manoeuvres and conditions that drivers are likely to be involved in based on their driving behaviour. Based on knowledge developed from reviewing years of data we can identify the root causes of risky driving behaviour. By delivering best-practice driver coaching programmes Lytx can proactively help companies to improve the safety of their drivers by reducing these risky driving behaviours. This unique approach is extremely effective and can cut the costs associated with collisions by up to 80%.”

He goes on to say “Lytx not only helps save lives – we also give our customers a unique perspective into their businesses. We don’t just give them data - we give them the insight and tools to be able to proactively manage risk and improve driver safety and performance. Drivers are safer but companies using Lytx also benefit from lower operating and insurance costs and improved safety performance year after year.”

Globally Lytx has more than 950 commercial and government fleet customers who between them drive more than 20 billion miles a year. It has been operating for more than 15 years and its customers include four of the top five waste companies in the US and two of the top three passenger transport companies in the US. US customers include BP, AmeriGas and Greyhound; in the UK customers include DS Smith and Howard Tenens.

Paul offers some tips to fleet operators looking to improve driver safety:

•    Know your riskiest drivers
•    Get to the true root cause of that risky driving behaviour and find out what’s really happening – for this you need video
•    Coach drivers using video – let drivers see for themselves
•    Measure performance and share success
•    Integrate your driver coaching programme with your business – make it work for you everyday

Get all that right and your company will benefit from lower costs of collisions and your drivers will get home safely. For more information, visit www.lytx.co.uk or stand 4D68 at the CV Show.
