Smooth Driver Monitoring and Mapping

Coaster® - The Smooth Driver Monitoring app is helpful for viewing and changing driver behavior on routes that a driver frequents, such as daily commutes or delivery routes. Smooth Ride monitors driving for sudden stops, logs the position of those sudden stops, and displays them on a map as markers. Over time, there may be clusters of sudden stops at certain locations. The sudden stop history is displayed on a map while driving and where there are stop clusters, this map display enables and encourages drivers to change behavior and instead "coast" through those areas where frequent sudden stops occur.

Usage: In order for the app to provide any value, you must drive your repeat routes and let it monitor driving in order to build up a history of clusters of sudden stops, if any. Most drivers will remain on the default monitoring and map screen. This screen displays the driver's current location on a map, monitors driving for sudden stops, and displays prior sudden stop markers and clusters. Occasionally, the driver may change the stop detection sensitivity or clear the sudden stop history. This app should be "boring" most of the time. If so, you are a "Smooth Driver" on smooth routes.

Stop and go driving can make driving a bad experience. Harsh braking and sudden stops are often indicators of inefficient driving or higher risk driving situations. They can often occur in the same road segments due to individual driving behavior, group driving behavior, road design, construction, and traffic patterns. Averaging speed can decrease the number of sudden stops, in turn decreasing accident risk, increasing fuel efficiency, and decreasing wear and tear on the vehicle.

This application samples the accelerometer and GPS data of the phone to detect where a driver makes sudden stops in order to aid the driver in avoiding sudden stops in that area again. No additional hardware installation is necessary. Using the application can help individual and fleet vehicles drivers who drive the same or similar routes or individual drivers on the daily commute or driving routines.

When a hard stop occurs, the location is logged. On future drives through that same area, a map marker or cluster is displayed where prior hard stops occurred. A single map marker will often be ignored. However, where there is a cluster of hard stops, the driver may choose to try to coast through that area in order to avoid additional hard stops.

For Individual Drivers – The repeat routes are often the daily commute and frequent errands. This app can be helpful in learning where stop clusters are on those routes.

For Fleet Vehicle Managers – The repeat routes are often the drivers’ delivery routes. This app may be useful in learning where stop clusters are on those routes, adding to your fleet telematics dataset beyond just driver scores. Risk is associated with location(s). The sudden stop history can increase safety for regular driver or when shared with a substitute driver or a new driver.

The hard stop detection sensitivity and prior hard stops display selection can be changed in the settings. The hard stop history can be reset at any time.

Coaster® - 在平滑驱动程序监控程序是用于查看和对司机常去的路线，如每天上下班或送货路线改变司机的行为有帮助。平稳的行驶监视驾驶突然停止，记录那些突然停止的位置，并将其显示在地图作为标记物上。随着时间的推移，有可能是在某些位置突然停止的集群。开车时突然停止历史被显示在地图上，并在有停止集群，该地图显示允许并鼓励驾驶员通过那些频繁的急刹车发生区域以改变行为，而“海岸”。

用法：为了让应用程式提供任何价值，你必须驾驶您的重复路线，让它监视输出以如果有的话，树立突然停止簇的历史。多数司机将留在默认的监控和地图画面。此屏幕显示驱动器的当前位置在地图上，显示器驾驶突然停止，并显示之前突然停止标记和集群。有时，驾驶员可以改变停止检测灵敏度或清除突然停止历史。这个程序应该是“无聊”的大部分时间。如果是这样，你是一个“平滑驱动程序”平滑路径。

走走停停的驾驶可以使驾驶不愉快的经历。刺耳的刹车和突然停止往往是不经济驾驶或风险较高的行驶状况的指标。他们往往会发生在同一路段，由于个人驾驶行为，组驾驶行为，道路设计，施工和交通模式。平均速度可以降低突然停止的数量，依次递减事故风险，提高燃油效率，并在降低车辆磨损和撕裂。

此应用程序的样品手机的加速计和GPS数据检测中的驾驶员，使突然停止，以帮助驾驶员避免再次在该区域突然停止。无需额外的硬件安装是必要的。使用应用程序可以帮助个人和车队车辆司机开车谁相同或相似的路线或者在每天上下班或驱动程序单独的驱动程序。

当一个硬盘停止时，该位置被记录。通过该相同区域将来驱动器，被显示在地图标记或群集现有硬停止发生的位置。一个单一的地图标记往往会被忽略。然而，那里是很难停止的集群，司机可以选择通过该区域，试图海岸，以避免额外的硬停止。

对于单独的驱动程序 - 的重复路线往往是每天上下班和频繁出差。其中，停止群是那些路线这个应用程序可以在学习很有帮助。

对于车队车辆管理器 - 重复的路线往往是司机的送货路线。这个应用程序可以学习其中停止群是那些有用的航线，增加你的舰队远程信息处理的数据集不仅仅是司机的分数。风险与位置（S）相关联。突然停止历史可以增加安全性进行定期的驱动程序或当用替代驱动程序或新的驱动程序共享。

硬止挡件检测灵敏度和现有硬停止显示选择可在设置被改变。硬停止历史可以在任何时候复位。
