Shell uses an In-Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) to track key driving data from their fleet vehicles. This includes speed, acceleration, braking, seatbelt usage, and more. They analyze this data to classify drivers and provide feedback to improve safety performance. Results from pilot programs show improvements such as reduced traffic violations by 83%, fewer driving incidents, higher fuel efficiency up to 3%, and lower maintenance costs up to 36k. The IVMS also helps investigate incidents and improve customer satisfaction. In summary, Shell's use of vehicle tracking technology has led to enhanced road safety, more efficient driving, and economic benefits.
