Data on reduction in wrecks was derived from company\u2019s customers in 2019 through 2021. Severe accidents\u2014where fatalities, injuries, or significant property damage were involved\u2014also fell 17% between 2020 and 2021, according to video telematics provider.<\/p>\n

Video telematics provider Lytx<\/a> took more than 35 billion miles of customer driving data from 2021, combined it with many billions more miles of proprietary information from prior years, and generated its fourth-annual State of the Data report, which shows collisions and more severe accidents among its client fleets down substantially\u201425% and 17%, respectively\u2014and identifies top five lists of dangerous driver behaviors and nationwide accident hot spots.<\/p>\n

The report, released April 27, shows the coaching that client fleets provide their drivers\u2014thanks to \u201cevents\u201d captured from Lytx\u2019s video platform\u2014is working to help improve safety on the road and cut accidents, Gary Johnson, Lytx\u2019s director of safety services, said in an interview with FleetOwner<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the technology\u2014especially the video technology\u2014came out, it was hard [for drivers] to embrace, but obviously more embrace it now, with proven results,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cYou have technology like ours that notifies them immediately if there is a behavior that was detected. There is self-coaching. This is where we\u2019re seeing clients embrace this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new findings show that drivers using the Lytx Driver Safety Program experienced fewer collisions, despite a post-pandemic increase in risky driving on U.S. roadways last year measured by theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a>. These insights were derived from Lytx\u2019s proprietary database of commercial vehicle driving data from 2019 through 2021, including more than 14 million risky fleet vehicle-driving events captured in 2021, according to a company release.<\/p>\n

\u201cLytx\u2019s annual State of the Data report gives our clients and our company valuable insights in the effectiveness of our safety services\u2014and where we can improve,\u201d Johnson added in the release. \u201cIn an ever-challenging transportation landscape, it\u2019s more important than ever that we continue innovating and developing tools to help keep our fleet drivers safe and aware of the risks around them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2021, we boosted investments in our technology, innovations, partnerships, and people to acquire even more intelligence about transportation on our roadways,\u201d added David Riordan, Lytx\u2019s executive VP and general manager, enterprise. \u201cWe captured more than 35 billion miles of driving data last year, bringing our total dataset to over 185 billion miles. We analyze this data to help vehicle \ufb02eets better understand the risks on the road and the driver behaviors that can have a positive effect on safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Data on driver actions derived in 2021 showed that their top five riskiest behaviors were:<\/p>\n
