Nestlé is using cutting-edge technology on its long haul transport network in the United States to prevent potential road crashes before they happen.
The Virtual Risk Management software collects information on a variety of factors including driver licence information, collisions and road side inspections.
It combines this with so-called ‘telematic data’ from the vehicle, which can provide details on anything from harsh braking and sudden acceleration to engine idling.
The online software then analyses all the data using a behaviour modelling programme in order to calculate a risk score.
