How the Driver Salute Award Program Works?

The Driver Salute Award program is open to Victorian operators who use video technology and telematics in their fleets. Such technologies provide insightful information on evaluating a driver’s safety performance.

Operators can submit footage or profiles of their drivers displaying excellent safety behaviour. Telematics assesses this through real-time data, making selection objective and transparent.

Such data-driven criterion shall reduce the improvement of road safety measures, thus identifying those drivers who improve toward road safety.

In addition, the program has advanced safety standards across the industry by attuning to the importance of tech in achieving that goal. The Driver Salute Award uses video technology and telematics to recognise the driver’s effort and encourage the greater industry to implement similar technologies.

This progressive approach demonstrates how innovation and safety go hand in hand. So, it provides a model for other sectors within the transportation industry to follow.
