Driver Goals

Settings > Driver Performance > Driver Goals

PREREQUISITE: You must have Engine Diagnostics licenses to track Engine Events and Engine Events Accumulator goals.

The tool management needs to encourage safety, improve fuel economy, and reduce maintenance costs across a fleet is found here. Using goals in the form of Infractions and KPI (Key Performance Indicator) gives you the ability to score each employeeUser accounts for drivers, dispatchers, and other staff to perform varying functions in TrackIt. and assess overall performance.

The Infractions goal flags data like alerts and engine events so that you may address specific recurring issues like idling, hard-braking, and time threshold violations. Setting a value for Max Infractions then gives employees some room for error, but encourages gradual improvement.

The KPI goal allows you to gauge an employee's efforts at reducing infractions by measuring vehicleAll machines used as a means of production on a construction site or at a batch plant. performance with Miles Per Gallon, Gallons Per Hour, and Idle Percent. The assumption with KPIs is that a vehicle becomes more fuel efficient if its driver causes fewer infractions.

After defining these performance measurements, use the Infraction Audit to view an employee's individual violations and add new infractions manually. The Driver Performance reports offer additional context about employee violations and overall performance.

Name	The name of the infractionViolations of driver goals. Infractions can include excessive hard braking or acceleratiion, idling, and late logins. or KPI will aid in describing what kind of performance is being monitored.
Weight	Indicating the weight of the infraction or KPI can add severity to the infraction or KPI. For example, administrators may decide a no show is a more severe infraction than quitting early and assign the infraction a weight value of two instead of one.
Is KPI	While an infraction can penalize certain behaviors, a KPI can help track an employee's efficiency through measuring vehicle performance.

Adding a Driver Goal

Name	Describes the driver goal.
Assign To	Chooses which Employee Type(s) the goal will apply to.
Weight	Used for scaling infractions. The weight scale is used to measure the severity of the infraction. For example, many companies may find that consistently speeding or over-revving the engine is more severe of an infraction than being a few minutes late to work.
Goal Type	Determines which driver goal type you want to create. Infraction KPI
Max Infractions	Sets the amount of infractions allowed to occur within a set limit. This allows performance to be based off of habits instead of one-time events. For example, you may allow drivers to accumulate one hard braking eventEngine data recorded by TrackIt that includes fault codes and driver behaviors like hard braking. per 500 miles before the event negatively affects driving records. Available measurements: Miles: Allows infractions to occur “x” amount of times per miles driven. Engine Hours: Allows infractions to occur “x” amount of times per engine hours . Schedule: Allows an infraction to occur “x” amount of times per week. Timecard: Allows an infraction to occur “x” amount of times per shift.
Infraction	Choose which event(s) will be used to determine whether or not a goal is met. For example, a Max Speeding infraction would use the Engine Event named Max Speeding to calculate if an infraction is warranted. The Max Speeding event is configured in Custom Event Setup. Payroll Exceptions: Include time clock and scheduleA tool for scheduling daily employee shifts. Employers may use this to set start and end times for each employee. violations. Alerts: Select which triggered alerts are associated with the infraction. Engine Events: Add events via the Custom Event Setup screen. Engine Events Accumulator: Added via the Engine Accumulator Setup screen. These are different from Engine Events because an accumulator is based off of data from multiple events. Status Timer: Choosing a status timerThreshold timers associated with a status or status loop that regulate the expected amount of time a driver should spend performing an activity, such as pouring on a job or washing after emptying a load. means the infraction is calculated based off of certain statusThe specific activity or task a driver is currently engaged in, typically as part of a process called a "status loop." timers being triggered.

To add a driver goal

PREREQUISITE:Before you add certain Infraction Types, they will need to be configured on their respective pages. These are: Payroll Setup, Alerts, Custom Event Setup, Engine Accumulator Setup, and Status Timer.
