The fleet manager of the future - is the role changing?

New technologies have been transforming fleet management in recent years, but what is the impact on the role of the fleet manager?
The fleet manager of the future - is the role changing?
It was once the case that fleet managers relied upon manual tools such as a thick specification book, green sheets, and calculators to run their fleets. Yet fleet management technology has progressed at an astonishing pace in the last few decades. Developments such as real-time data analytics and reporting have become invaluable for modern fleet managers, providing immediate access to data that previously would have taken months to collect. This data enables managers to analyze driver performance, make key improvements, and create an overall more productive fleet, all at a much faster rate.

With new tools transforming fleet management, it begs the question, has it changed the core purpose of the fleet manager? To answer this, we should instead consider what it is that the fleet manager does.
The role of the fleet manager has always been to select the most viable vehicles for the task in hand and ensure they are operated safely and economically. The role has not changed, but the technology today has undoubtedly improved, and with advanced fleet management and GPS tracking solutions, fleet managers are better equipped to meet their objectives.

Fleet managers should take advantage of the new technology at their disposal that allows them to streamline tasks, accurately report on fleet performance, and continually improve for the future. Through exploring new ways to improve fleet management, fleet managers can resolve everyday challenges and anticipate potential issues.

Therefore, it is clear to us that it is the technology that has and will continue to change, not the role of the fleet manager.

HOW TO AVOID THE DANGERS OF TAILGATING
Global Road Safety
Too many drivers leave insufficient space between fellow road users, putting lives at risk. A lot can be done to avoid it.
How to avoid the dangers of tailgating
Tailgating, the word used to describe leaving insufficient distances between drivers, is one of the biggest causes of collisions. Tailgating leaves drivers unable to carry out emergency breaks safely; it can spark road rage and retaliation, and ultimately puts lives at risk.

Sufficient distances between vehicles are vital for drivers to safely perceive and react to a hazard, and give their vehicle enough time to respond too.

According to Arrive Alive, the total stopping distance involves:


Human perception time – with an average of 0.75 seconds for a driver to recognize a potential hazard in a normal situation.
Human reaction time – with an average of 0.75 seconds for the driver to brake after perceiving the danger.
Vehicle reaction time – with 0.05 seconds for a vehicle to react to the driver braking.
Vehicle braking capability - the time for a vehicle to come to a complete stop after brakes are applied.

Various factors that might cause abrupt braking include debris, pedestrians and other drivers swerving in the road. Following the Three Second Rule, as recommended by the USA National Safety Council, is the best way to determine the minimum safe following distance to avoid accidents.

To apply the rule, begin counting, “one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three” once the vehicle in front of you passes a landmark. You should not finish counting until you have passed the landmark.

Adapting in poor driving conditions
You should adjust the Three Second Rule to five-six seconds in adverse driving conditions, such as poor weather, night driving, and slippery roads. Other factors, such as towing a trailer or when following vehicles such as trucks, will also require longer stopping distances.

Above all, do not allow your safety to be compromised by tailgaters. Safely switching lanes to avoid close drivers and maintaining safe stopping distances is key.
