Drivers

The Drivers page is where you can create and manage your company's drivers, review driver's scores, and monitor coaching within your fleet. This guide will detail each of these pages.

Types of Driver ID

Before diving into this feature, it is important to know the forms of driver ID available to drivers on RoscoLive.

Depending on the hardware you have, the following forms of ID are available:

  1. NFC Card or Tag: This is a physical card or tag that a driver can have on their person. This has a hexadecimal number on it that can be associated to a driver. When this card is scanned, this will identify the driver for that trip.
    1. Available On: DVXC4 with DR101 NFC scanner
  2. QR Code: The driver has a QR code that has a hexadecimal number associated with it that can be associated to a driver. The driver will hold this code up to the interior facing camera when beginning a shift and the camera will scan this code and associate that trip to the driver. Either the driver can access this on a physical card, by saving a picture of it on their mobile device, or by using the Rosco Driver App.

6. After the file is uploaded, you will now see all of your drivers appear in your driver's list. If you encounter any errors while uploading, be sure to check that your CSV file is formatted correctly, group names are spelled correctly, and the column headers are exactly as they are in the example file.

Managing Drivers

Other actions that are available are:

At a Glance

On this page you will see a table of all your drivers with various columns of information. If needed, this table can also be exported in CSV format by clicking the Export button located at the top left of the page.

Current Score



The Current Score column displays the driver's current score for the month. The scoring scale is 0 - 200, with 0 being the best score possible. More about driver scores can be found in the Scoring section of this page.

Status



The Status column informs if the driver is Online or Offline.

Vehicle



The Vehicle column displays the vehicle the driver operated in their latest trip. Clicking the vehicle name will take you to that vehicle's Edit Vehicle page.

Group



The Group column shows the current group the driver is associated with.

Card ID



The Card ID column displays the associated driver ID card number for that driver.

Scoring



The scoring page is where driver performance can be viewed in more detail and adjustment to the event weight score.

How are scores calculated?

The scores are calculated using a simple algorithm:

([(e0 • w0) + (e1 • w1) + …] / m) • c = score

where:

For example, a driver has driven 100 miles in the last week and has had 5 distraction events over that course and the distraction event has a weight of 3. The calculation would be:

total distraction score = 5 distraction x 3 weight = 15

(15 / 100 miles) * scoring coefficient = 8

So this driver would have a score of approximately 8 for this time period. Notice there is a scoring coefficient we use to normalize the score to fit the range 0 - 200.

Score Table



The table shows the driver's overall score for the date-range selected. By default, the date-range is the current month to date. This can be adjusted by clicking the date range picker at the top of the page.

Clicking on a driver will open a sub-table where it itemizes the individual events that have contributed to their overall score.


From here you can click on View Event to view the video of the event for that particular score. Both the main table and the itemized event table can be exported into CSV by clicking the Export button.

Adjust Event Weights

By default, all event weights are defaulted to 1. If you would like to adjust the weight settings for an event so that it impacts a score more or less, or perhaps even disregard an event type from the score, click the Adjust Event Weights button at the top right of the page. This will open the Event Weights menu.



To adjust the weight of an event, simply drag the slider to the desired weight. If you wish to disable an event from contributing to a driver score, click the toggle at the top right of the event and you will see it grey out. This means this event type will not contribute to a driver's score.

After making the desired changed, select Apply. The difference in the driver scores will be immediate after changes are applied.

Coaching

The Coaching page is a place where you can see all of the coaching sessions scheduled for your drivers for the time specified.
